This book’s aim is to provide veterinary practitioners and trainees
with a concise, systematic guide to urological disorders affecting
dogs and cats.
The author focuses first on assessment of the patient and the main
investigative techniques to reach a diagnosis. He then deals with
the differential diagnosis, causes and treatment of conditions ranging
from prostate disorders and trauma to all types of urinary incontinence,
including urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence. Reflecting clinical
practice and to assist the diagnostic process, conditions are grouped
and discussed under their main presenting signs.
The book is fully referenced and illustrated throughout by colour
photographs, imaging, and diagrams of the highest quality.
