There are many orthopaedic differences between cats and dogs, yet
most books on the market tend to concentrate on dogs rather than
cats. As cats are not referred to specialists as frequently as dogs,
the general practitioner has routinely to treat cats that have been
involved in road traffic accidents and other musculoskeletal trauma.
This book, the first of its kind, aims to provide a practical and
user friendly guide to feline orthopedics.
The book includes highly structured fully referenced text that provides
a concise, straightforward guide to the recognition and management
of specific diseases and conditions. The text is supported by high
quality radiographs, colour photographs and colour line drawings
to illustrate principles, techniques and procedures. Combining their
experience in practice and education, the authors have produced
a book to appeal to veterinarians in general and specialist feline
practice, and to students.
