Small Animal Ophthalmology: Whats Your Diagnosis?

What’s Your Diagnosis? is a book series which covers key disciplines within veterinary medicine. Problem–based learning follows a comprehensive question and answer format.  Clinical cases are extensively illustrated and guide the reader through a logical and practical approach to the interpretation of clinical signs, differential diagnoses and management options.
Small Animal Ophthalmology: What’s Your Diagnosis? covers a wide spectrum of ophthalmic conditions in the dog and the cat, ranging from ocular discharge to sudden onset blindness. Excellent illustrations depict each case and facilitate the accurate description and interpretation of ocular lesions – this essential skill enables the clinician to format an appropriate diagnostic and treatment plan. Step–by–step photographs are commonly used to illustrate diagnostic techniques and clinical outcome.
This book provides both fundamental and detailed information that will be invaluable for general practitioners and veterinary students, as well as those with a special interest in veterinary ophthalmology.
