Book Description

0632059699 978-0632059690 July 4, 2006 1
There is currently a lot of interest within veterinary medicine in both dermatology and exotics, yet, despite this interest, there is no single text available that focuses on both these key areas.

This book, for the first time, provides a practical guide to dermatological problems in birds, reptiles, fish and mammals. Divided into the four groups, each section has a chapter introducing the structure and function of the skin of each group, a chapter on examination and diagnostic tests, and further chapters on species specific skin diseases and treatments.

Written in a quick reference format and including almost 200 colour photographs, this book is a handy resource for veterinary practitioners, veterinary students and veterinary dermatologists alike.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The format of this book is to be applauded as the authors introduce the veterinary 'novice' consicely and comprehensively to the subject and the species involved. This book cannot be overlooked. It deserves a place on veterinarians' bookshelves." Veterinary Dermatology, 2006

“A welcome addition to the available literature. The book is well structured and uses a lot of graphics for ease in finding information.” Exotic DVM Magazine

“This book does a very nice job filling a niche in exotic pet veterinary literature. Dermatologic conditions in a wide range of exotic animals are presented in an easily referenced format. The authors have attempted to provide a very thorough listing of pathologic conditions … .It should prove very useful to most veterinary practitioners.” Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference for general practitioners, July 9, 2008
This review is from: Skin Diseases of Exotic Pets (Paperback)
There are very few good reference books in exotic animal dermatology. Most exotic texts only cover very limited skin problems and some of them are not very accurate.
This is a readable text for any practitioners. The only drawback is that the therapeutics is only covered very briefly. You may need to refer to Carpenter's formulary or other exotic text for this purpose.
