Focusing on 'day one competencies', this book offers essential guidance to the most common problems encountered in small animal general practice. Addressing 100 core scenarios, it is ideal for the undergraduate or newly qualified vet, and for those seeking an up-to-date refresher. Organized by presenting sign (diarrhoea, itching) or disease (diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis), and with colour illustration throughout, each chapter explains: how to make a diagnosis which interventions are most appropriate in general practice what the vet should say to the client before and after examination The authors also offer invaluable advice on other key topics such as annual health checks, neutering and euthanasia, and they tackle the tough questions: What if it doesn't get better? What is the low cost option? When should I refer? Never before has so much practical information been brought together in a single volume. Like having an experienced or specialist clinician standing by your side in the consulting room, 100 Top Consultations will become a trusted companion for students and practitioners alike.

I would like to thank publishers Wiley-Blackwell for providing me with this review copy.
As the title says, this book elaborates on the top 100 problems seen by veterinarians. The table of contents is color coded, and broken down according to specific conditions, differential diagnosis, and miscellaneous.
Each specific problem is covered in 4-6 pages of information, with clear and concise sections. Headings include: Etiology and Pathogenesis, History and Clinical Signs, Important DDX, Specific Diagnostic Techniques, Treament, “what if it doesn’t get better”, The Low-Cost Option, and “when should I refer?”. Full color photographs accompany many of the chapters.
The language is easy to understand for practitioners of any level. The book is by no means all-inclusive, but it just provides a quick overview of the problems that vets will see most often.
There is a very small section on exotic pets (one case each on a rabbit, tortoise, hamster, guinea pig and pig) and another small section on canine behavioral issues. Lacking is a section on feline behavior issues, which I thought was unacceptable. Cats certainly can present with aggression or other behavioral problems. On the whole, dogs seem to be over-represented, however, I’m not sure if it is because they are brought to the veterinarian more often or that some treatments (such as for hot spots, conjunctivitis, etc) can be utilized with both canine and feline patients.
On the whole, I think this is a book that would be a good choice for new graduates, or vets who have a small non-referral practice. Even veterinary technicians will benefit from reading this, as they are likely to see these cases in the hospital regularly. The price is inexpensive enough to make this an easy addition to your library.
