Clinical examination is a fundamental part of the process of veterinary diagnosis. Without a proficient clinical examination and an accurate diagnosis it is unlikely that the treatment, control, prognosis and welfare of animals will be optimised. This book will assist veterinary students in their understanding of farm animal clinical examination and act as a quick reference for clinicians who are called upon to examine an unfamiliar species. It will also provide a more detailed account for experienced clinicians in their continuing professional development. The authors provide a simple, explicit and reliable method of examining cattle, sheep, pigs and goats of all ages in the search for diagnostic information.Content: Chapter 1 Principles of Clinical Examination (pages 3-6): Chapter 2 The General Clinical Examination of Cattle (pages 9-11): Chapter 3 Clinical Examination of the Lymphatic System (pages 12-15): Chapter 4 Clinical Examination of the Skin (pages 16-28): Chapter 5 Clinical Examination of the Head and Neck (pages 29-50): Chapter 6 Clinical Examination of the Cardiovascular System (pages 51-64): Chapter 7 Clinical Examination of the Respiratory System (pages 65-80): Chapter 8 Clinical Examination of the Gastrointestinal System (pages 81-112): Chapter 9 Clinical Examination of the Urinary System (pages 113-124): Chapter 10 Clinical Examination of the Female Genital System (pages 125-140): Chapter 11 Clinical Examination of the Male Genital System (pages 141-153): Chapter 12 Clinical Examination of the Udder (pages 154-166): Chapter 13 Clinical Examination of the Musculoskeletal System (pages 167-197): Chapter 14 Clinical Examination of the Nervous System (pages 198-216): Chapter 15 Clinical Examination of the Sheep (pages 219-248): Chapter 16 Clinical Examination of the Pig (pages 251-278): Chapter 17 Clinical Examination of the Goat (pages 281-299):
