ABSTRACT:
When presented with a pet animal showing a particular set of clinical signs, it is all too easy to rush in and make a diagnosis without necessarily taking into account the wider picture. Inappropriate elimination in cats is such a case in point, in which medical, environmental and behavioural aspects may all have a part to play. The author takes readers through a typical case history in order to illustrate a logical, step-by-step holistic approach.
