Rezensionen

"The book is a paperback, small, easy to read, and up-to-date
and is a good addition for a busy practitioner's library. The price
is reasonable for the amount of information contained." (Journal of
the American Veterinary Medical Association, March 2009)
"Manual of Skin Diseases of the Dog and Cat is a concise,
well-written reference text on small animal dermatology. The book
is a paperback, small, easy to read, and up-to-date and is a good
addition for a busy practitioner's library. The price is reasonable
for the amount of information contained." (Journal of the
American Veterinary Medical Association, March
2009)"Approximately 500 excellent color photographs
illustrate the diseases in each chapter... another helpful feature
is the index which makes it easy to find diseases of interest.
This edition will be a useful reference for veterinary
practitioners and technicians. The author has included a
wider variety of diseases than found in an otherwise similar
book." - Doody's Book Reviews, December 2008



"The second updated edition... provides an important
reference both for libraries catering to vets and for a vet's quick
reference at the office. It offers color photos of common skin
diseases in both the dog and cat, offering insights on testing,
treatment options, and life cycles of diseases. A key acquisition
for any collection catering to vets at all levels, as well as for
offices." - Midwest Book Review, December 2008
