Handbook of Veterinary Neurology - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 5th Edition
Elsevier eBook on VitalSource
This quick reference provides vital information on neurologic conditions in a wide range of species, including canine, feline, bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and porcine. A problem-oriented approach makes it easy for students to learn the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic problems in small and large animals. The coverage of disorders by problem, not by established disease diagnosis, emulates how animals present to the veterinary hospital and simplifies the formulation of a correct diagnosis. Also describing treatment and surgical techniques, this book offers a diagnostic approach that requires minimal knowledge of neuroanatomy.
