Low-Cost Veterinary Clinical Diagnostics A practical guide to maximizing the diagnostic value of in-house quick assessment tests (QATs) In Low-Cost Veterinary Clinical Diagnostics, the authors provide a hands-on resource designed to facilitate healthcare delivery across the spectrum of care. Historically, clinicians have been taught to apply the gold standard approach to the practice of medicine. However, recent advances in veterinary medical care and associated technologies have made practitioners question whether a one-size-fits-all approach is truly best. After all, when we perform diagnostic tests, are we testing out of the desire for completeness, to cover all bases for the good of the patient? Or are we testing because we are expected to? The reality is that gold standard care is not always advisable and not always possible. In clinical practice, veterinarians frequently encounter obstacles that limit their approaches to case management. Cost of care is a significant constraint that requires practitioners to rethink which diagnostic tests are essential. Not every patient requires a complete blood count (CBC), chemistry profile, urinalysis, and fecal analysis to obtain diagnostic value. This text suggests that the “best” approach to case management be determined by the situation, the context, the patient, and the client. While sophisticated panels of tests may remain the recommended approach to case management, Low-Cost Veterinary Clinical Diagnostics outlines entry-level, in-house diagnostic blood, urine, fecal, and body cavity fluid tests: how to perform them as well as the breadth and depth of patient-specific data that can be gleaned from quick assessment tests (QATs). Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to patient care considerations, communication strategies that facilitate cost-conscious shared decision-makingComprehensive explorations of quick assessment tests (QATs) in hematology, including packed cell volume (PCV), total solids (TS), buffy coat analysis, blood smears, blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), saline agglutination tests, and activated clotting time.Practical discussions of quick assessment tests (QATs) involving urine, including urine color, dipstick analysis, specific gravity (USG), and urine sediment analysisPragmatic evaluation of fecal analysis, including considerations surrounding fecal color, volume, consistency, and odor; saline smears or wet mounts, and fecal flotation.Discussion on body cavity fluid analysisSample case vignettes, complete with question and answer (Q&A)Perfect for veterinary practitioners, veterinary technicians, veterinary and veterinary technician students, Low-Cost Veterinary Clinical Diagnostics offers a quick and easy reference guide to maximizing diagnostic value in those cases where care is cost-prohibitive.

Empowers veterinary educators to design from scratch, modify, or adopt the authors’ own comprehensive, simulation-based communication curriculum, combining andragogical principles, evidence-based practice, and practical tools to enhance the delivery of relationship-centered care. Simulated Approach to Veterinary Communication tracks the evolution of communication training and relational practice in healthcare. Readers are introduced to foundational communication theories and models, as well as the growing evidence that effective communication enhances healthcare delivery and patient outcomes through improved information exchange and stronger veterinary client-healthcare provider relationships. The book translates theory into practical application exercises, offering 30 simulated client encounters for veterinary curricula. This debut of an entire curriculum provides educators with a complete, evidence-based framework for integrating communication training across all species and practice settings. This one-of-a-kind resource offers practical implementation that is unparalleled. The book presents fifteen chapters covering communication theory, models, and client communication preferences as well as strategies for simulation design. A companion website delivers all components of all 30 simulations, including preparatory materials, simulation scripts, door charts, rubrics, and post-encounter reflection prompts. In addition, the companion website offers over 150 ready-to-implement clinical case vignettes for in-class use. The modular design allows the content to be adapted to a wide variety of needs: Species-specific communication guidance for canine, feline, equine, ruminant, and exotic animal practitioners and student doctors in trainingEvidence-based frameworks for building reflective practice. This requires providers to deepen their exploration of self as they learn to integrate personal, social, and professional identities to build capacity for their own unique delivery of relationship-centered careApplication of the Calgary-Cambridge consultation model and associated communication skills to simulation experiencesComplete scripts, preparatory work, and reflection assignments for 30 simulations that span the breadth and depth of clinical practice, including wellness visits, sick and emergency visits, end-of-life, economic euthanasia, mandatory animal cruelty reporting, and conflict within the veterinary teamDesigned for anyone involved in teaching or learning communication skills in veterinary medicine, including veterinary faculty, veterinary technician educators, curriculum developers, clinical and professional skills course coordinators, and veterinary and veterinary technician students, Simulated Approach to Veterinary Communication provides the blueprint for communication curricular design.

Communicating ideas in veterinary medicine is a fundamental part of continuing veterinary research and building a career as a clinician.The purpose of this book is to help increasing efficiency and effectiveness in writing professional documents, e.g. writing a concise yet thorough discharge statement to avoid repeated client call-backs to clarify medical recommendations. The book also aims at improving the reader’s confidence in writing skills through guided and well-thought out “homework” or practice exercises.Useful for both veterinary students and practising vets, Writing Skills for Veterinarians addresses how to develop and hone veterinary medical and scientific writing techniques. The basics of veterinary writing and why it matters are covered before concentrating on specific written models expected of vets – creating medical documents, client and colleague communications, report writing, journal articles and research papers and presentations. At the end of the book is a resource-bank of additional exercises relating to each type of document.

Good communication skills provide better clinical outcomes and help avoid minor as well as major mistakes. Approximately 60-80% of negligence claims against vets are related to poor communication, with new graduates especially vulnerable. Communication skills are a growing part of the curriculum in veterinary schools, recognising how fundamental clear communication is to good practice.A Guide to Oral Communication in Veterinary Medicine covers why communication skills are important, the structure of typical communications and suggested approaches, veterinary specific communication pathways and sample scripts between vet and client. Scenarios covered include everyday communication, dealing with challenging situations, different species, different settings, and communication within the veterinary team. The aim is to instil confidence and competence, build professionalism and avoid problems.Most current teaching is based on a toolbox approach developed from the human medicine model. However, there is no set standard for teaching methodology which is why this is primarily a book for students but also includes a section for educators to provide guidance in this nascent subject.
