Large Animal Neurology 3rd Edition delivers a practical and complete reference for veterinarians, veterinary trainees and scientists dealing with large animal neurology. The book is vividly illustrated in full colour and contains many clinical photographs and detailed line drawings to highlight the concepts discussed within.
Organised into three parts,ย Large Animal Neurologyย offers practitioners and students straightforward guides on how to perform neurologic examinations for domestic large animal species, including neonates. It also discusses the presenting clinical syndromes caused by common nervous system diseases, as well as giving details of the specific neurologic diseases of large domestic animals.
Comprehensive Introduction โ Covers neuroanatomy, neurologic evaluation, ancillary diagnostic aids, and key pathologic responses of the nervous system.
Clinical Problem Approach โ Explores 26 presenting problems such as behaviour disorders, seizures, epilepsy, sleep disorders, blindness, strabismus, monoplegia, wobblers, tetraplegia, pruritus, and cauda equina syndrome.
Disease Coverage โ Detailed discussion of genetic, infectious, nutritional, toxic, metabolic, multifactorial, and idiopathic neurological diseases in large animals.
Audience Focused โ Designed for equine and farm animal veterinarians, veterinary neurologists, residents and trainees, undergraduate veterinary students, animal pathologists, and neuroscience researchers.
