Diagnostic-therapeutic algorithms in internal medicine for dogs and cats

The problem-oriented approach (POA) is the method recommended by the College of Internal Medicine to address and resolve medical questions/problems. Hence the idea of creating a book based on algorithms which deal with the main clinical and laboratory canine and feline clinical abnormalities, using an innovative perspective. Each of the 85 chapters begins with a short introduction which includes the basic pathophysiological and classification information. By means of each algorithm, the clinician is guided, step by step, in carrying out diagnostic investigations in a sequential manner, reaching a diagnosis and setting up treatment. In this book, two useful and innovative aspects were included: color codes and links for additional information within the algorithm.
