Description

The New Edition of this popular resource features complete, up-to-date guidance on the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for orthopedic problems seen in small animal practice. The well illustrated and clearly written 3rd Edition has been completely reorganized to meet the needs of busy users. Subjects are arranged topographically, making it easy to assemble a list of differential diagnoses when a clinical problem is localized to a specific region. Review of the 2nd Edition: "An excellent, comprehensive guide to treatment of common small animal orthopedic problems...Discussions are concise, organized, and clearly stated...the information contained in this book is well worth the price." -"JAVMA".
