About this book

The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dermatology begins by providing the reader with a grounding in examination and investigative techniques. The second section of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dermatology provides a problem-oriented approach to the common dermatological conditions encountered in practice, including erosions and ulcerations, focal and multifocal alopecia and pruritus. The final part of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dermatology covers the major skin diseases of dogs and cats caused by bacteria, yeast, fungi and parasites.
