Veterinary nursing

The comprehensive guide to the role of the consulting veterinary nurse

The Consulting Veterinary Nurse is an invaluable guide for veterinary nurses running clinics and providing consultation. It covers the basics of setting up and marketing a clinic alongside the essential knowledge of the assessments, conditions, and issues required by a consulting veterinary nurse. Topics include nutrition, chronic illnesses, behavioral issues, lifestage clinics, and medical clinics for a full range of conditions from mobility and dental problems to epilepsy and cancer.

This second edition provides coverage of a wealth of new advances in veterinary medicine since the prior edition, exploring the normalization of telemedicine, novel diets, chemical castration and updates to the code of professional conduct. A notable addition is a new chapter on surgical clinics that discusses wound management, post-operative appointments, neutering, and other services delegated to the veterinary nurse.

The Consulting Veterinary Nurse readers will find:

The role of the nurse in the veterinary practice, covering ethics, consultations, diagnostic clinics, marketing, and named nurse and protocol writing

Feeding behaviors, dietary transitions, methods of increasing water consumption, and dietary supplements

Considerations for arthritis, cancer, cardiac disorders, cognitive dysfunction, dental problems, diabetes, epilepsy, obesity, and urinary tract disorders

Novel diets such as raw feeding and vegan pet foods as well as specific diets for puppies and kittens

The Consulting Veterinary Nurse is an essential read for veterinary nurses looking to develop their consulting role and expand their confidence in consulting with animal owners. The book is also valuable reading for veterinary nurses in general practice and students in the field.
