“Covering a subset of diseases that occur in humans and animals, this book compares disease presentation, diagnosis, and therapy focusing on dogs, cats, horses, and humans. … The purpose is to provide a link between clinical and veterinary disciplines to expand how we look at different diseases. … This book would be most useful for medical or veterinary students, residents, practitioners, and research faculty. … On the whole, the goal of this book is achieved.” (Sarah Freemantle, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2017)
