your care of dogs and cats. Information is easy to find and easy to
use, with comprehensive coverage including fluid and electrolyte
physiology and pathophysiology and their clinical applications, as
well as the newest advances in fluid therapy and a discussion of a
new class of drugs called vaptans. Lead author Stephen DiBartola is

patient monitoring, assessing risk, and prediction of outcomes for
each disorder. Hundreds of tables, algorithms, and schematic
drawings demonstrate the best approaches to diagnosis and
treatment, highlighting the most important points in an easy-access

metabolic disturbances. Expanded Disorders of Sodium and Water
chapter includes information on a new class of drugs called
