Christopher G. Byers, DVM, DACVECC, DACVIM (SAIM), CVJ: So each chapter in this textbook has 2 parts. So, there is what we call a summary section, which is for the busy clinician on the floor [that] needs to look up a topic and can get right down to the nitty-gritty: relevant [pathophysiology], the tests that are needed, what these patients look like on physical exam with individual problems...and the recommended treatments that are current best practices. And we have all kinds of algorithms and beautiful charts that our graphic designers with Edra publishing are doing. But then the second part of each chapter called the comprehensive section, [which] does the deep dive for those of us that like to swim in [pathophysiology] and want to know more about why specific treatments or specific diagnostic tests are recommended.
