Publisher's Synopsis
Small animal endocrinology has advanced rapidly over the last few years, with the recognition of previously unreported disorders, improvements in diagnostic tests, and the emergence of novel options and refinements for treatment. In recognition of these advances, this second edition of the
Manual or Small Animal Endocrinology has been completely rewritten by a panel of international experts. This expanded edition offers a fresh approach, with the emphasis on clinical aspects, and a wealth of tables, algorithms and colour photographs.
Part 1 deals with the diagnostic approach to and investigation of clinical syndromes with an endocrinological basis. Common and less common disorders are then described. The final part of the book is concerned with treatment and testing.
Clinical endocrinology is a fascinating subject requiring in–depth knowledge not only of internal medicine but also of physiology, clinical pathology, anatomy and surgery. This manual provides the most comprehensive information available today in a format designed specifically for the busy small animal practitioner.
