Canine Medicine And Therapeutics 4E

Now in full colour throughout! Still the leading textbook and reference, now in its fourth edition, and enhanced by numerous colour illustrations, this major work covers all aspects of canine diseases and therapeutics. Since the previous edition of this text was published there has been a sustained expansion in the knowledge and understanding of the pathophysiology of the medical diseases that affect the dog. This has been complemented by significantly improved methods to diagnose and manage these diseases. The fourth edition of this textbook has been designed to reflect these many advances and has necessitated a radically different approach from the previous edition. There are now fourteen sections, each with an editor to co-ordinate the chapters in that section. The number of authors contributing to this edition has expanded from twenty-nine to seventy-eight. Each section in the book has been written to give both concise reviews of the subject and a logical approach to the management of the clinical problems. A significant number of tables, flow diagrams and illustrations have been included to assist the clinician in accessing key clinical information.

* the most authoritative single source of reference on the subject* world class team of contributors * in full colour, with numerous tables and illustrations * essential for all small animal practitioners * totally comprehensive: 14 sections incorporating 107 chapters by 79 experts from Britain, Europe, North America and Australasia
