This OER is like an interactive module/course that is designed as an introduction to diagnostic testing and laboratory techniques that are essential for “day one” competencies in a general veterinary practice setting. It includes case-based learning activities that guide you through the journey of selection, practice, and clinical integration of common clinical tests such as fecal examinations, urinalysis, culture and sensitivity, hematology, and many more.

This text is written like an interactive module that includes small animal laboratory exercises like 'restraint and handling of the dog', 'clinical interview skills', and 'general physical examination of the dog.'

The Racehorse: A Veterinary Manual has become the definitive text for primary care of the Thoroughbred racehorse. Written by one of the world's leading racehorse veterinary clinicians, it sets out best practice standards of diagnosis and management of all the major conditions likely to be encountered in racehorse clinical practice, as well as comprehensively reviewing subjects as diverse as pre-purchase assessment and exercise physiology. This second edition has been thoroughly updated and introduces new chapters on a range of topics including injury risk assessment and electrolyte and fluid therapy, expanded sections on nutrition, rehabilitation and sales radiography as well as an array of new images and ready reference charts.

This book is intended to be a reference text for veterinarians who provide clinical services to sheep producers. It is directed first and foremost at Australian sheep-raising systems, but the approaches described herein will have wide application in all countries where sheep are raised under extensive grazing conditions. Most of the important conditions of sheep in Australia are relatively straightforward to diagnose, but the establishment of effective and economically sound control strategies is often the most difficult part of health management, particularly for those who are less familiar with sheep production systems.
