This atlas shows Cardiology in a way it had never been done before. The images it contains, of both the healthy heart and the main heart diseases that affect dogs and cats, have a unique technical and artistic value.
This illustrated work aims at helping veterinary surgeons to communicate with pet owners. After the previous volume about surgery, this atlas dedicated to dermatology helps the vet to explain the physiological and pathological characteristics of skin as well as the characteristics of diagnostic tests, treatments and surgical techniques. Every illustration describes the clinical aspects of the dermatology consultation: anatomical and physiological considerations about the skin and its adnexa, and graphic descriptions of infectious, inflammatory, endocrine, allergic or tumoral diseases. The clarity and accuracy of the illustrations turn this atlas into another useful clinical tool.
Cats are not small dogs and they are frequently forgotten in the literature. This book is intended to be an easy to use reference for practitioners and dermatology enthusiasts that only focuses on cats and their manifestations of skin disease.
In this book, the most common fractures in the canine species and the way to solve them by osteosynthesis are described. The first six chapters are devoted to the general aspects of bone growth and healing, the following chapters set out the various alternatives to address fractures and the different applicable osteosynthesis systems.
In summary, this book, thanks to its structure, the tremendous amount of graphic material that it provides, the comprehensible language, and its eminently practical focus, is of great use to both veterinary students as well as professional veterinarians specialized in traumatology, which they will surely use to streamline their decision making in their daily traumatology practice.
This notebook includes drawings of the anatomical structures, most frequent ailments and some of the most commonly used surgical techniques in dogs and cats. Its purpose is to facilitate communication between vets and their clients, since it will enable them to explain graphically what is happening to the pet, where, and the procedure for the possible resolution of the problem.
