Veterinary medicine continues to evolve and progress, as concepts change, new disorders are recognised and novel diagnostic approaches are reported. This book brings together a wide variety of cases and clinical situations which are related to disorders and diseases affecting organs of the abdominal cavity and the endocrine/metabolic system. Each case is presented in a different way reflecting the experience of each specialist author who has contributed to the text. This book is of interest to all veterinary surgeons and students, as it provides a rich mix of material ranging from relatively simple straightforward cases to complex and controversial subjects. It is designed not only to test the ability of the reader but also to educate and inform.
