Handbook of Small Animal Dermatology (Pergamon Veterinary Handbook Series)

Skin problems form a major part of the workload of the working veterinarian. Signs of infective and allergic conditions, be they alopecia, pruritus or scaling, cannot be ignored by the conscientous owner. This handbook reflects the importance of dermatology to the small-animal veterinarian. The subject is covered using a problem-oriented approach. Skin diseases of the dog, cat and non-domestic pets are considered. Each chapter contains a diagnostic flow-chart to aid the practitioner in evaluating the patient. Current techniques and treatments are covered to enable the veterinarian in the small-animal practice or animal hospital to keep up to date with current developments in veterinary dermatology.
