About the Book
Do you have what it takes to solve veterinary cases? In this book, you won’t just find a flurry of cute animal stories, and you won’t learn mere facts about animal health. You’ll learn something more important and more exciting: how to think like a veterinarian! Go through real animal cases – complete with X-rays, bloodwork panels, and more – then choose tests, make diagnoses, and pick a treatment plan.
The real work of a veterinarian is a lot like the work of a detective. It involves reasoning through case mysteries based on observations and uses clues gathered from tests to find a solution and fix a problem. Between these pages you’ll find interactive cases to work through as you learn critical thinking skills involving inductive and deductive logic.
But keep your eyes open…

“The info from this book, distilled from years of practicing vet medicine, would have been a huge help to me preparing for vet school.” -The authorEnjoyed and found helpful by junior high students to adults.
“A practical, easy to follow introduction to veterinary medicine for future veterinary professionals.
Fuzzy Logic: Think Like a Veterinarian and Fuzzy Logic 2: How to Keep Thinking Like a Veterinarian are the perfect introductory books for students who want to pursue a career in the veterinary profession. Dr. J. Aaron Gruben helps students learn to approach veterinary cases in a practical way, starting with simple observation and using logic and critical thinking to narrow down the clues to come to a conclusion.
The real-world case studies are broken down into easy-to-understand steps to help the student navigate the problem-solving approach that veterinarians use to diagnose and treat patients. Each lesson has key terms defined, and both books have a comprehensive glossary. Images are thoughtfully selected throughout both books including radiographs designed to help students understand the anatomy of the case, thought process algorithms, or even graphics to recommend students pause to consider the case further before continuing with the reading. We use both books for group activities at our middle school veterinary science camps. The students really enjoy the investigative approach to working their way through the cases. We highly recommend these books for every future veterinarian!”
