    Hi Rosanna,

    I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Ettinger’s textbook! For quick references that are handy on-the-go, I recommend the following:

    BSAVA Manual of Canine Practice: This manual covers a wide range of topics with practical guidance for everyday clinical practice in dogs.

    BSAVA Manual of Feline Practice: Similarly, BSAVA’s manual for feline practice provides concise information tailored to cat care.

    Notes on Canine Internal Medicine by Victoria L. Black et al.: This book is excellent for quick insights into various aspects of internal medicine in dogs.

    Happy reading!

    Best regards,

    Scott

    Hi Rosanna,

    For small animal internal medicine, I highly recommend “Ettinger’s Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine.” It’s widely considered the go-to resource in the field. There is a new edition available, which is quite comprehensive and detailed. It’s a two-volume text, so it is heavy-duty, but it also includes online access, which is a great bonus.

    You can find the latest edition here: https://www.evolve.elsevier.com/cs/product/9780323779319?role=student

    This textbook is often referred to as the “Internal Medicine Bible,” and it’s definitely the one I would go for if you’re looking for the most up-to-date and thorough resource. However, if you’re looking for something a bit more quick-fire and practical, I can make other recommendations. It would also be interesting to hear other people’s thoughts on this.

    This is definitely the most comprehensive text, with the benefit of being quite an up-to-date version. As you know, textbooks can become outdated quickly, so having the latest edition is crucial.

    Best regards,

    Scott πŸ™‚

    Hi Felipe,

    Thanks for your insightful contribution! You make excellent points about the challenges and practicalities of using blood products in veterinary practice, particularly regarding availability and cost.

    I appreciate you highlighting the use of synthetic colloids as a temporary measure when blood products are not immediately accessible. It’s a pragmatic approach, especially in resource-limited situations.

    The reference to the CellSaver device is intriguing as well. It would indeed be a game-changer, albeit with the mentioned cost and caseload considerations.

    Great discussion all around!

    Best,
    Scott

    Hi Jon,

    Thanks for your input! You make a good point regarding the availability and cost of blood products. It’s definitely a significant factor to consider in practice.

    I appreciate you sharing the paper on acute haemorrhage volume resuscitation. It’s always great to have more resources to better understand the implications of high-volume crystalloid resuscitation.

    Cheers,

    Scott
