SKIN DISEASES OF THE DOG AND CAT 3ED (PB 2019) Paperback

A Colour Handbook of Skin Diseases of the Dog and Cat was one of the first books to present essential information about skin diseases in a practical, problem-oriented format for clinicians. The fully revised and updated Third Edition reflects the significant advancements in knowledge about skin conditions over the past decade, including the identification of new conditions, new management strategies, and effective treatment options. Chapters are organized by symptoms, with each one featuring a decision tree that offers practical guidance. The user-friendly design ensures one condition is covered per page (or spread of pages). With 13 chapters covering more than 120 skin, claw, and ear conditions, the book is organized by the primary presenting sign. It includes concise, systematically structured information on the definition, aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnoses, diagnostic tests, and management. Flow charts in each chapter assist clinicians in reaching the correct diagnosis. Special attention is given to diseases affecting pediatric patients, along with chapters on paw, ear, and nasal planum conditions. New treatments for atopic dermatitis are also explained. Over 350 high-quality color photographs and diagrams, mostly new for this edition, enhance the content. The book focuses on clinical practice and effective communication with pet owners. It is fully updated and referenced, offering a comprehensive and accessible guide for busy clinicians on the diagnosis and management of veterinary skin conditions.
