Canine Medicine
By Dr Graham Swinney
Centre for Veterinary Education

Book Description: 


At the Canine Medicine event held on Sunday November 9, 2008 at the Rydges Hotel in Port Macquarie NSW, presenter Graham Swinney covered a broad range of topics using an interactive and case-based approach. Graham illustrated how to get the most out of routine clinical pathology using both routine tests and useful but less routine ones; rational approaches to fevers that have an unknown cause in patients including tests for common and less common causes and how to deal with anaemia, regenerative and non-regenerative.
