BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Radiography and Radiology: A Foundation Manual

By Andrew Holloway and Fraser McConnell

BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Radiography and Radiology: A Foundation Manual PDF. Confident radiographic interpretation presents a considerable challenge and the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Radiography and Radiology provides a comprehensive review of the approach to radiological interpretation, the range of variants and the key fundamental principles and their application to common diseases.

This Foundation Manual replaces the classic BSAVA Manual of Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging as an introduction for veterinary students, nurses and new graduates. The Manual features high quality radiographic reproductions demonstrating normal anatomy and key aspects of interpretation, as well as illustrations showing patient positioning and the practical approach that is the hallmark of the BSAVA Manuals.

Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Medicine 2nd Edition

By Alex Gough and Kathryn F. Murphy

Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Medicine 2nd Edition PDF is A vital pocket-sized reference tool for busy practitioners and students, saving hours of searching through multiple sources. This Book brings together comprehensive differential diagnosis lists covering a wide range of presenting signs. Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Medicine 2nd Edition has been fully updated with alphabetised lists for improved navigation. The lists cover the majority of presentations that are encountered in practice, including both common and uncommon conditions.

Details differential diagnoses from diverse findings such as history, physical examination, diagnostic imaging, laboratory test results and electrodiagnostic testing
Provides guidance on how common conditions are, and how commonly they are the cause of the presenting sign
Useful throughout the working day for vets in small animal practice, the information will save hours searching alternative multiple references
New co-author Kate Murphy brings her expertise as an ECVIM diplomate

-

By Jane Dobson and Duncan Lascelles

BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Oncology, 3rd Edition PDF. Building on the success of previous editions, the Editors have sought to marry the best of the old with the new. All chapters have been updated, or rewritten, by international experts to encompass the important advances made over the last several years, while keeping the text practical and user-friendly.
The principles of diagnostics and clinical staging and of the main therapeutic modalities are outlined. Individual tumor types in the body systems of dogs and cats are then described, using a common approach to aid information retrieval on etiology and pathogenesis, presentation and clinical signs (including staging/grading of tumors), management, and prognosis. A wealth of new photographs has been included to illustrate the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of a range of tumors.

The growing importance of ethical considerations and palliative care are also recognized, and exciting developments and treatment possibilities explored.

Complications in Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament Surgery

By David L. Dycus and Ron Ben-Amotz

Filling a gap in the current literature, Complications in Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament Surgery PDF provides revision strategies for correcting the complications associated with surgical repair techniques for cranial cruciate ligament rupture, one of the most common causes of a hind limb lameness in dogs. Presenting step-by-step instructions for numerous surgical correction techniques, this practical guide covers articular, extra-articular and osteotomy repair techniques as well as non-surgical management, physical rehabilitation, clinical decision making, and more.

Complications in Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament Surgery PDF begins with an overview of cranial cruciate ligament tear, diagnosis, and treatment goals, followed by a discussion of methods for minimizing surgical site infection and complications. Subsequent chapters describe the potential complications of a particular technique and explain how to identify, evaluate, and correct the complication. Throughout the book, hundreds of high-quality clinical photographs show the appearance of complications and demonstrate each step of the corrective procedure. This authoritative guide:

Provides step-by-step techniques for surgical corrections of common complications
Emphasizes surgical decision making and specific strategies for surgical correction
Contains revision strategies for identification of intra-operative complications
Covers evaluation and identification of post-operative complications
Features more than 400 photographs and clinical images

Part of the state-of-the-art Advances in Veterinary Surgery series, Complications in Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament Surgery is an invaluable resource for surgical residents, veterinary surgeons, and general practice veterinarians alike.

Small Animal Veterinary Psychiatry

By Sagi Denenberg

Small Animal Veterinary Psychiatry PDF. Problem behaviours are often the result of how an animal thinks and feels, genetics and environmental influences. Steering away from just description diagnoses and focusing instead on emotional and cognitive causes, this book provides a practical approach to diagnosing, treating, and managing behaviour pathologies in dogs and cats.

Beginning by addressing cases in the first opinion practice, Small Animal Veterinary Psychiatry PDF then considers physical disorders that may lead to or exacerbate abnormal behavior. From there, the focus shifts to mental and emotional health, from an assessment of normal behavior and giving juveniles an optimal start in life, to diagnosing mental and emotional disorders, addressing emotions such as anxiety and frustration, and how to manage these issues – by modifying behavior, managing the animal’s environment, training, and, when necessary, the use of medications. The second half of the book then addresses owner concerns, including management problems, aggression, affective disorder, elimination disorder, abnormal and repetitive behaviours and ageing-related problems.

With an emphasis on helping first line veterinarians identify common presentations and offer help to owners, this book:
– Addresses both normal and abnormal behaviour in cats and dogs from an emotion and cognition perspective;
– Provides behaviour modification protocols, and drug doses and indications;
– Includes handouts to be used both within the practice and with clients to help the veterinary surgeon manage the case.

Written by international experts, the book translates their insights and experience into approaches taken in behavioural medicine. Also including the most up-to-date drugs, it is an important resource for both small animal veterinarians and students of veterinary medicine or animal behaviour.

Minding Dogs: Humans, Canine Companions, and a New Philosophy of Cognitive Science

By Michele Merritt

Minding Dogs: Humans, Canine Companions, and a New Philosophy of Cognitive Science PDF. While the past decade has seen a surge of research regarding canine cognition, this newfound interest has not caught the attention of many philosophers. Studies pertaining to dog minds have been pouring out of canine cognition labs all over the world, but they remain relatively ensconced within the scientific, sociological, and anthropological communities, and very little philosophical thought on dog cognition exists.

Philosophers certainly have not shied away from theorizing about the nature of nonhuman animal cognition generally. Theories range from Cartesian disavowal of all nonhuman intelligence to arguments that even fish have complex minds and therefore humans should not eat them. Serious philosophical considerations about dogs and their relationship to humans, however, remain incredibly rare. Even less common, if not entirely nonexistent, is a
critical examination of the question “What are dogs thinking?” and what asking and attempting to answer this question reveals, not so much about dogs, but about us.

With Minding Dogs Michele Merritt attempts to fill two significant gaps in the philosophy of animal cognition. First, she adds to the growing discussion on canine cognition, which has been overlooked until recently and requires more consideration. Second, she takes seriously our dynamic collaborations with our canine friends as crucial to understanding both their minds and our own.
