The medical history and physical examination are the most important
cornerstones of clinical diagnosis, but there has been no single
book devoted to a description of methods applicable to companion
animals. This book is intended to fulfil the need. It describes the
methods used in the veterinary schools of the University of Utrecht
in the Netherlands and the University of Ghent in Belgium. The
effectiveness of these methods is recognized by many visiting staff
members and students from other veterinary schools in Europe and
North America. Central to this book is the concept that the
examination should be as efficient as possible. To achieve this
purpose, a short initial examination is used to define the problems
presented by the owner. The clinician is then guided in making
choices, which focuses the attention on the essential problems and
makes more of the examination time available for problem solving.
The methods of examination, which are described system by system,
are based on this selective approach. Many of the chapters close
with a medical history form, which facilitates rapid orientation to
the medical problem, and throughout the book photographs and
original drawings illustrate both concepts and methods.
