Book, Clinical Endocrinology of Dogs and Cats 2/13[LS]

The richly illustrated work brings together relevant content about the endocrinology of dogs and cats, in all its clinical aspects. The book's approach, centered on the animal's organ and focused on the study of clinical cases, makes it easier to consult the information in daily practice, in the veterinary office. The chapters deal with the endocrine glands separately – starting with a brief review of the gland's morphology and physiology – and are full of drawings that represent the functional principles, containing descriptions of the gland's disorders, with up-to-date information on diagnosis and treatment. Several photographs of clinical cases illustrate the symptoms presented and the results of treatment, which will help the reader learn to recognize endocrine diseases. The final chapters present diagnostic and therapeutic protocols, as well as algorithms for common problems such as alopecia, polyuria, and weight loss.
