This book is useful as a self test, but the way the book is designed makes it difficult and tedious to follow. One spends far to much time leafing through the book to look up corresponding symptoms and lab results for each case. A change of format would make this book much easier to use and less frustrating.

I got this to help me prepare for my oral exam finals for vet school. I got my boyfriend to use it to quiz me, I would have to come up with the history questions, the things I wanted to look at on physical exam, and the diagnostic tests I wanted to do, and he would look up the answers and tell me. I think this was a good way to use it, since I couldn't see all the options in the book to sort of "cheat".

The descriptions of the cases at the end with the ideal way to work them up are very good. It goes through what diseases you should be thinking of, and ruling in and out after each step of the process. It also discusses different treatment options which is good as well.

I found this book really helpful in getting me to think about how I would work cases up for my finals, and in the future.
