By Edward Boden, Anthony Andrews
22th Edition
A paperback edition for the student market, this standard work of
reference has been a bestseller for over 70 years. It is an essential
tool for anyone with a professional or leisure interest in the care of
animals. Much more than a list of veterinary terms, its practical
approach ensures that readers gain an insight into the signs and
symptoms of common, and less common, diseases, as well as their
diagnosis and treatment.
For this edition much new and updated
information has been included, reflecting the numerous developments that
have taken place in animal care and husbandry, and welfare. There is
greatly expanded coverage of topics relating to popular breeds of dog
and cat, and the inheritable conditions that might affect their health.
Advances
in medicine, surgery and diagnostic techniques; descriptions of newly
identified diseases such as Schmallenberg virus; the resurgence of old
scourges such as TB in cattle, and ongoing enzootic infections such as
bird flu are also included in this edition.
The growing risk of exotic
diseases such as heartworm being imported following the relaxation of
travel arrangements for dogs and cats is reflected in new entries. Notes
on many new species being farmed or kept as companion animals are among
the thousands of topics covered.
