Veterinary Dermatology and Diagnostic Techniques

By Peter R Nelson

Skin disease rarely tells the whole story at first glance. Veterinary dermatology demands careful observation, sound diagnostic reasoning, appropriate sampling, and an understanding of how dramatically skin and integumentary disease can differ across species.Veterinary Dermatology and Diagnostic Techniques gives veterinary students and practitioners a practical, comparative framework for assessing, diagnosing, and managing dermatologic disease in dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, rodents, birds, and reptiles. Rather than treating exotic companion animals as extensions of canine and feline medicine, the book emphasizes species-specific anatomy, husbandry, disease patterns, and diagnostic interpretation.
