This book provides a comprehensive overview of small animal neurology covering the diagnosis and treatment of all clinical problems. It contains detailed information on neurological examination procedures, neuropathology and genetic disorders. There are also individual chapters on laboratory tests, anaesthesia, radiology and electrodiagnostics, rehabilitation, pharmacology and surgery.

This book usefully lists specific neurological diseases according to their location, and is an excellent tool for guiding professionals and students in their diagnosis and treatment.

Exceptionally well illustrated throughout, the book includes detailed imaging diagnostic illustrations showing neuro-anatomy and -pathology, an illustrated appendix, and a step-by-step demonstration of clinical neurological investigation and numerous examples of neurological diseases on the enclosed CD-ROM. Authored by a team of international experts on small animal neurology, the English language edition has now been revised by one of the most acknowledged neurologist in the US.
