Manual of Skin Diseases of the Dog and Cat 2nd edition provides a valuable asset to the practice library for quick and easy reference.

Dealing with all common skin diseases in both the dog and the cat, particular attention is paid to the differences between the two species. Each chapter looks at a different type of skin disease with descriptions of clinical presentations and a guide for diagnostic tests for each.

As skin problems represent a high proportion of the caseload seen by veterinary practitioners, this book will prove useful on a daily basis. It will help you to manage common diseases, as well as identify those requiring specialist care.

Key features:

• Particular emphasis is placed on those diagnostic techniques available to the veterinarian within a general practice environment
• Provides a practical approach to diagnosis and management
• Contains almost 500 colour photographs of common and rare skin conditions
