This is a comprehensive reference textbook for all those using
osteopathic treatment techniques with animals or birds or studying
to do so. The book is divided into sections: equine osteopathy;
general small animal osteopathy; osteopathy for exotics- (pets such
as tortoise, snakes, ferrets etc); osteopathy for wildlife - native
as well as non to the UK including species found in most zoological
collections; avian osteopathy - both domestic and wild/exotic. Each
section covers information specific to that group. This makes the
book appropriate for supporting structured post-graduate university
validated courses in a clear and easily navigable way. Content
includes detailed sections on the differences encountered when
working with animals; health and safety around different species;
working within the law; integrating with allied professions;
anatomy; physiology and patho-physiology; neurology; orthopaedics;
differential diagnosis; differential aetiology of presenting
conditions when compared to the human model; supportive husbandry
and rehabilitation methods. It includes sections covering
approaches to patient care; specifics of taking a detailed case
history; use of supporting diagnostics; observation; palpation;
structuring a treatment programme suitable for each species.
Osteopathic treatment techniques and physical patient contact
methods are be explained as well as graphically illustrated. All
chapters are fully referenced and include revision notes to act as
guidelines for the reader. It is intended primarily for
post-graduate osteopaths intending to work with animals or who are
already doing so. It will also strongly appeal to vets as well as
to other allied professions working with animals (eg massage
therapists).
