The book has two tables for the contents; the first one provides an alphabetical list of frequently encountered clinical signs and recognized diseases. The second table of contents (contents by subject) contains twenty entities. Those include an entity for each body system disease in addition to camelid and neonatal diseases, diagnostics, emerging animal diseases, immune function, management, milking systems, non-traditional species, nutritional diseases, parasitology, and toxicology. The text for each clinical sign, disease, or topic comprises six main headings (basics, diagnosis, treatment, medications, follow-up, and miscellaneous) and several sub-headings. This style is consistent, where applicable, throughout the book. The book concludes with two appendices about cleaning and disinfection, and client communication.
This book is not intended for in-depth reading about diseases or conditions; however, it provides well-organized knowledge in a point format. This format is easy to follow and focuses on relevant aspects for each topic. The text is not referenced; however, a list of suggested reading is provided. This is inconvenient for readers that would like to trace back or follow up on certain information.
The book is accompanied by a CD that includes an additional 175 topics covering management, husbandry, reproduction, and diagnostics; most of which are interesting and informative to food animal and ruminant practitioners.
This book is highly recommended for veterinary students, practitioners, and perhaps veterinary technicians and dedicated clients. It is a very good quick-reference resource that will save lots of time for readers that are looking for a practical overview of important diseases and topics in ruminant practice.
