Skin Diseases of Dogs and Cats

The first three chapters on Anatomy and Physiology, Pharmacology by a dermatologist/pharmacist, and Exam Room Procedures by a staff member of one of the nation's largest private hospitals give basic insights for understanding skin problems.

Shampoo Therapy, Ectoparasites, Immunologic Diseases, Endocrinology, Skin Infections, Pediatric, Congenital and Hereditary Diseases, Environmental Diseases, Nutritional Diseases, Ear Diseases, Natural Therapy and other miscellaneous articles make up the rest of the book.

A comprehensive glossary made up of terms contributed by the authors defines everything you need to know about terminology in a concise fashion. The Index is exhaustive. Tables, Sidebars and Figures explain and illustrate everything from anatomy to home cooked diets including a Table on Grooming Recommendations for most popular breeds. Several sidebars give detailed explanations as exemplified by one on Shampoo Therapy. Breeders will find charts on breed-related problems.
