What is DDx?

Introducing differential diagnosis lists, the newest feature in Plumb's Pro

Updated this week

Getting to a diagnosis starts with considering all the differentials. And now, with the newest feature in Plumb’s Pro™, you can trade in the textbooks and open tabs for a tool that puts all your differentials in one place.

If you’re subscribed to Plumb’s Pro™, you can now access DDx, our new differential diagnosis feature that helps you review your differentials in record time.

To try out this new feature, select DDx from the Features menu or type a clinical sign or diagnostic finding into the search bar from any page.

Coming Soon to the Android App

DDx is currently accessible via the iOS app and our web app, which you can access from any browser (eg, Google Chrome, Safari) by visiting https://www.app.plumbs.com and signing in.

Those of you who prefer to use the Android app will see DDx soon. Until then, feel free to access through the web app!

Look for the DDx label in your search results and select the clinical sign or finding you’d like to see differentials for. You’ll immediately see a comprehensive list of common and uncommon differentials organized from most to least likely.

Every DDx list undergoes a rigorous peer-review process and includes references so you can chase down a zebra if need be.

Once you’ve reviewed all your differentials, you can rely on the full suite of Pro-exclusive features to give you everything you need to confidently care for your patient from diagnosis to discharge.

Explore the library of Dx & Tx monographs to find clear, actionable diagnostic and treatment recommendations, or search for clinical handouts to help educate pet owners.

Plumb’s Pro™ currently contains over 200 DDx lists, covering a full spectrum of topics ranging from abdominal pain and abnormal lung sounds to weight loss and wheezing. New topics are continually being added. Explore them all here.
