In this book on practical antibiotherapy in swine medicine, the author has tried to present, in a visual and practical way and with an updated view, the most important aspects a veterinary clinician should take into account to design appropriate antimicrobial treatments in swine herds. Thus, in this work, current pharmacological knowledge is reviewed with the help of real clinical cases solved by the author. Finally, it includes a comprehensive review of what a prudent use of these essential tools to ensure our animals’ health means.
This book deals with pain in companion animals and how it affects their welfare, health and, of course, behaviour. It describes the difficulties encountered, throughout history, to finally reach the conclusion that animals and humans share the same neurophy- siological mechanisms to feel pain, and what their sensitive pathways are. It then goes deeper into the changes that pain can cause in the behaviour of dogs and cats and the tools available to the veterinary surgeon to control it.
This innovative book presents the fundamental aspects of basic immunology and the most important dog and cat infectious diseases in an illustrated and educational way. The accuracy of the contents, together with the detailed illustrations, will help the veterinarian to consolidate his or her knowledge on this subject. Also, the extensive teaching experience of the authors gives the piece a didactic and simple tone when treating this complex discipline.
