Preface
The second edition of our book has been a wonderful opportunity to update relevant content, expand the areas of clinical practice discussed and, perhaps most importantly, improve the layout and formatting using Universal Design for Learning principles. This edition has benefited from extensive reader feedback about the first edition which we are very grateful for. We hope that this second edition will help enhance clinical and professional reasoning skills of veterinary students and veterinarians around the world. Keep on problem‐solving!
