Canine and Feline Nephrology and Urology PDF

Although this manual may have value for specialists and residents training in internal medicine, it was not written specifically for that audience. We have worked together and developed our approach to dogs and cats with diseases of the urinary tract over the past 30 years at The Ohio State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

This book reflects our experience and opinions. Dr. Patricia Schenck of Michigan State University has brought her organizational skills and generalist’s viewpoint to the final development of the book.

We have taken care to ensure that treatment approaches are reasonable and that drug dosages are correct. Ultimately, each practicing veterinarian must decide if these approaches to diagnosis and treatment are consistent with his or her own philosophy of practice before implementing specific management plans.

Drug dosages should always be double-checked and verified. We would like to hear your opinions about the approaches we have recommended in this manual. Every book contains errors, so please make us aware of any you discover.

The second edition includes five new sections that appear at the end of each chapter. We have enjoyed putting them together and hope that you find them interesting and helpful. These sections are entitled, What Do We Do?, Thoughts for the Future, Common Misconceptions, Summary Tips, and Frequently Asked Questions.

Thoughts for the Future sections briefly discuss what lies ahead in the areas of urinary tract research and therapeutics. The other sections, are composed of personal experiences from within our practices and our interactions with students and fellow veterinarians to present real-life scenarios to you and to answer the questions we most commonly encounter. The material in this manual is not extensively referenced, but a suggested reading list is provided for each chapter.
