Saunders Solutions in Veterinary Practice: Small Animal Dermatology

Description

For most dermatological conditions several treatment and/or management options are available, making the situation even more complicated. Small Animal Dermatology is a handy reference for these cases and encourages the practitioner to pursue a definitive diagnosis and plan effective management even if the condition can not be cured.

Reviews

An innovative approach by Anita Patel and Peter Forsythe with the contribution of Stephen Smith for the avian and exotics; the book covers main complaints of specific sites. After a brief summary highlighting the important features of each group of diseases, several “real” clinical cases are described in detail. The last part of the book contains several useful appendices and 45 multiple choice questions (and their solutions!) to make sure you have become a real derm expert. The book is reasonably priced (£ 39.99) and the plastic cover makes it consultation room proof. - Vets Today, 2008
