Illustrated Textbook of Clinical Diagnosis in Farm Animals Summary

Illustrated Textbook of Clinical Diagnosis in Farm Animals by Philip R Scott (Edinburgh Veterinary School)

--- EMS (extra-mural studies) are an essential element of undergraduate veterinary education. Students must complete a minimum of 38 weeks EMS during their course, which should normally consist of 12 weeks pre-clinical and 26 weeks of clinical placements, a large portion of which takes place on farms.

-- The highly illustrated approach allows readers to see the highlighted differences rather than try to imagine what cases look like and differentiate them from written descriptions.

-- A repository of over 1000 10-second video clips accompanies the book, accessible to students on the farm with a smart phone. Each clip uniqeuly shows the animal's clinical presentation, internal disease/imaging and then healthy recovery

-- There are a limited number of common conditions seen by vets in farm animal practice and an exhaustive list of all known diseases is not needed: textbooks often include such diseases for the benefit of an academic reviewer rather than student and general practitioner readers.

-- This concise guide offers a breath of fresh air among the existing hefty expensive large animal medicine tomes on the market.

--- Some comments from veterinary students on the proposal: I firmly believe that this would be a very useful book and only wish that it existed already for my clinical EMS; There are currently several 'pocket books' for small animal medicine such as the Mini Vet guide but nothing for farm animals; Using a small animal 'quick', ring-bound, reference guide on EMS has been extremely useful, and it would be very beneficial to have a large animal alternative; The author's suggested use of high quality illustrations is what a student desperately needs. At the end of the day we need to be able to work out many diseases with similar symptoms - this book would provide that where may other current textbooks do not. I would support this new book, and hope it is released before I go into exams in the future - as it is what I currently need help within revision like so many other students. It is what the veterinary student dreams of having, and yet no one has produced it!

Illustrated Textbook of Clinical Diagnosis in Farm Animals Reviews

This book is what the veterinary student dreams of having, and yet no one has produced it - before now!

-- Chelsie Bailey, BSc Veterinary student, University of Bristol, and BSc Animal Behaviour & Welfare Science

This book represents a detailed and innovative way to learn important livestock diseases. The ultrasound sections will be extremely beneficial to students, especially the inclusion of information regarding how to use the scanner appropriately, as well as details of normal ultrasonographic findings. Having the photographs of the ultrasound scans alongside the gross pathology also helps to make connections between the two and allows for better understanding. The videos highlighting clinical presentation and diagnostics will really help students cement their understanding of the diseases and will be useful as an aid on clinical placements and thereafter.

-- Kayleigh Hanlon, Final Year Veterinary Student, University of Surrey, and BSc (Hons) Bioveterinary Science

This is a vital contribution to clinical understanding of veterinary work with ruminants, as well as reminding all of us of the part we can play every single day in terms of improving welfare. Even this week it has altered how an old set-in-my-ways practitioner thinks about things. The book is a readily available 'how to' on-the-spot guide: a new way of increasing understanding of how to actually function in veterinary practice for younger graduates, who are often cast into their first job with little experience. The wealth of videos and photos are the result of the recording of an enormous spectrum of conditions over a lifetime of work, and will be a life-saver for many.

-- Neil Frame, Cert.E.P, Cert.V.A, RCVS Advanced Practitioner (Equine Practice), MRCVS (vet)

I really don't think it will ever be surpassed as the 'go-to' clinical ruminant reference for undergraduates, recent grads. and vets in mixed practice who do not spend the majority of their time with farm animals. It makes me wonder what I have been doing with my veterinary life!
