There is currently a lot of interest within veterinary medicine in
both dermatology and exotics, yet, despite this interest, there is
no single text available that focuses on both these key
areas.
This book, for the first time, provides a practical guide to
dermatological problems in birds, reptiles, fish and mammals.
Divided into the four groups, each section has a chapter
introducing the structure and function of the skin of each group, a
chapter on examination and diagnostic tests, and further chapters
on species specific skin diseases and treatments.
Written in a quick reference format and including almost 200
colour photographs, this book is a handy resource for veterinary
practitioners, veterinary students and veterinary dermatologists
alike.
