Main description:

Following the success and critical acclaim for the first edition, the second edition of Skin Diseases of the Dog and Cat preserves the strengths of the book:

Problem-oriented approach; the book is arranged in twelve chapters covering dermatoses classified by their principle presenting sign
Concise systematically structured text; definition, aetiology and pathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnoses, diagnostic tests, management
Focus is on clinical practice and the need to explain the disease to the owner
Superb and generously sized colour photographs and diagrams
Clear user-friendly design - one condition per page or spread of pages
Referenced throughout to give the clinician access to the literature

Within the framework and in light of the exponential growth of information in small animal dermatology since first publication, the authors have revised the entire text for the new second edition, added 21 new sections and 131 new colour photos. The result is a handbook that is practical, extensive and up-to-date in its content, beautifully illustrated and designed. The new second edition is of value to veterinary practitioners and students, veterinary nurses, and technicians.
