Blackwell's Five-Minute Veterinary Consult Clinical Companion: Small Animal Dermatology

Veterinary dermatologists Rhodes and Werner offer a quick reference manual on the most common diseases and conditions seen in small animal dermatology. In a bulleted format and with many color photos, information is given on allergy and hypersensitivity dermatitis; endocrine, immunologic and autoimmune, infectious, cutaneous and paraneoplastic, and parasitic dermatoses; special topics like acne and behavioral and self-injurious dermatoses; and exotic pets. Chapters have been rewritten, reorganized, and updated for this edition, with new chapters in addition to those drawn from Blackwell's Five-Minute Veterinary Consult: Canine and Feline. The CD contains client handouts. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
