This comprehensive e-book addresses one of the most common presenting complaints in small animal practice, offering detailed guidance on physical examination techniques, diagnostic imaging interpretation, and differential diagnosis strategies. The text bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, enabling clinicians to confidently assess gait abnormalities, localize pain, and identify underlying orthopedic and neurologic conditions. The book presents a structured methodology for lameness evaluation, beginning with thorough history-taking and progressing through systematic orthopedic and neurological examinations. Readers will find detailed coverage of breed-specific predispositions, age-related conditions, and the distinguishing features of acute versus chronic lameness presentations. Special emphasis is placed on palpation techniques, range-of-motion assessment, and the interpretation of clinical signs that differentiate between joint disease, soft tissue injuries, bone pathology, and neurological disorders. With its focus on practical diagnostic skills, this resource equips veterinarians with the clinical acumen necessary to formulate accurate differential diagnoses and develop appropriate diagnostic plans. The text includes guidance on when to pursue advanced imaging, laboratory testing, or specialist referral, making it an invaluable tool for improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in everyday practice.
