Product Description
Building on the success of the previous edition, the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Gastroenterology, 2nd edition incorporates not only the new information available since the original publication but also additional chapters on diagnostic techniques and presenting complaints.

Part 1 considers diagnostic techniques, with chapters on the approach to a gastrointestinal case, laboratory evaluation, imaging, endoscopy, immunology and biopsy. The completely new chapter on imaging of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas covers in detail the modalities most frequently employed in small animal practice, namely radiography and ultrasonography, whilst also briefly discussing more advanced techniques of Doppler and harmonic ultrasonography, scintigraphy, CR and MRI.

The short chapters in Part 2 provide a practical approach to investigating presenting complaints: dysphagia and regurgitation; vomiting; acute and chronic diarrhoea; malabsorption; GI haemorrhage; dyschezia and tenesmus; jaundice; hepatic encephalopathy and infectious diseases. All follow the same basic format: outlining the clinical features, ranking the differential diagnoses in order of importance, and providing step-by-step algorithms for diagnosis.

The more traditional organ-based systems approach in Part 3 has been expanded from the previous edition to include chapters on disorders of the oral cavity, perineum and anus, and biliary system. Each chapter is presented in a similar style, starting with a brief description of relevant anatomy and physiology, then detailing diagnostic tests, and concluding with a discussion of the disorders that can be encountered, including their treatment.

The completely new final part contains chapters devoted to critical care, assisted feeding techniques, and an overview of therapeutics.

The chapters, written by a host of international authors, all experts in their field, are accompanied throughout by full colour illustrations. ... Read more

great, easy, read
I am a senior medical student interested in Peds GI and got this book prior to my GI rotation. It is organized very well and provides great tables to organize and summarize the material in the chapters. It explains topics in easy-to-read manner with more than enough detail to understand Sx, mechanisms, etiologies, differentials, workups, and Tx without being burdensome or overwhelming.

In short, this book makes peds GI make sense.

Excellent Book
I am a third year resident looking towards a peds GI fellowship.This book contains much more than what is required by a peds. resident for thier GI rotation!The outline is easily accessible.I especially like the chapters on 'approach to ----protracted hypertransaminasemia",Liver transplant and Polyps in children to name a few.
Reading this book increased my fund of knowledge and consolidated my love for the field of pediatric gastroenterology.
Other larger text like Wyllie and Walker( two diff books) contain much more information.But if you need a book that is succinct, a quick/free flowing read and that delivers more than is needed for your peds GI rotation, then Dr Guandalini's book is preffered.

Great book
