Small Animal Dermatology: A Manual of Diagnostic Techniques

Investigating skin diseases takes practice and experience – getting it wrong can lead to mistakes in diagnosis and treatment.

Traditional dermatology texts tell you what to do, but not how to do it. This is the first book devoted solely to the techniques used to investigate skin problems in animals. Written for veterinary practitioners, nurses, and students, it provides practical guidance on how to carry out and interpret all of the major dermatology tests.
