Combining
the advantages of a short textbook and an atlas, the authors present
in a problem-oriented manner the aetiology, clinical features, diagnosis
and management of the most commonly seen dermatoses of dogs and
cats. The book is arranged into 12 sections covering dermatoses
classified according to their principal presenting sign. Each of
the 125 diseases is described in a concise and structured way, focusing
on the points necessary to explain the disease to the owner, formulate
a practical differential diagnosis, arrive at a definitive diagnosis
and institute treatment. References are given to allow the clinician
access to the literature. The book is practical, extensive in its
content, beautifully illustrated and designed, and will be of value
to veterinary practitioners and students worldwide.
