Publisher's Synopsis
Trauma is a relatively common presenting complaint to veterinarians. All veterinarians see emergencies on a regular basis, and the increasing importance of emergency medicine and critical care in veterinary medicine calls for a book like this. Research has proven that the majority of veterinarians are dealing with trauma and injury for 25-50% of their time. The types of trauma and the physiologic consequences can be wide ranging. Hence, the approach to these patients can be quite daunting for the general practitioner who does not see these types of cases on a daily basis. The authors have benefited from over 25 years of combined experience working in the busiest academic emergency room in the world.
