Diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms in internal medicine for dogs and cats

Edited by Federico Fracassi, this professional text implements the problem-oriented approach (POA) recommended by the College of Internal Medicine to resolve complex medical cases. The book presents 85 distinct algorithms that lead the reader through step-by-step pathways, starting from general clinical concerns or laboratory abnormalities and proceeding to definitive diagnoses and treatment plans. Designed for both practitioners and students, the work aims to streamline clinical decision-making by providing practical, evidence-based options for canine and feline patients. The text has gained international recognition and has been translated into seven languages.

The book is organized into 85 chapters, each dedicated to a specific clinical concern, laboratory abnormality, or imaging finding, following a standardized format of summary, algorithm, and explanatory text.
