Diagnose, treat, and manage equine skin disorders with the most
comprehensive reference available! With 900 full-color photos,
Equine Dermatology covers skin diseases ranging from those that
merely annoy the horse to others that interfere with the horse's
ability to function in riding, working, or show. Thorough coverage
includes essential basics and practical diagnostic methods,
therapies, and specific abnormalities and defects. The book
describes the structure and function of the skin, and discusses
disorders including bacterial, fungal, parasitic, viral, protozoal,
allergic, immune-mediated, endocrine, metabolic, and nutritional
diseases. It also covers congenital and hereditary defects,
pigmentation abnormalities, keratinization defects, environmental
skin diseases, and skin tumors. Written by renowned equine
dermatologists Danny Scott and Bill Miller, this all-inclusive
resource covers the latest dermatologic topics and the newest
therapies. Current, comprehensive coverage includes every known
equine dermatosis. An emphasis on differential diagnosis includes
key differentials and breed predilections for each disease,
especially helpful when you have only a specimen and an incomplete
history to work with. A consistent format makes it easy to locate
information on each skin disorder, including a clinical
description, its cause and pathogenesis, clinical features,
clinical management, diagnosis, treatment, and any zoonotic
aspects. Expert authors Danny W. Scott, DVM, and William H. Miller,
Jr., VMD, offer years of knowledge, experience, and their vast
image collections. Diagnostic tables in each chapter provide a
quick reference for identifying lesions and disorders. An extensive
list of references at the end of each chapter includes
recommendations for further reading. New coverage of dermatologic
conditions includes the latest topics and emerging disorders such
as chronic progressive lymphedema, herpesvirus-2-associated
dermatitis, salmonella-associated dermatoses, and nodular auricular
chondropathy. Updated Diagnostic Methods chapter covers multiple
methods of developing a differential diagnosis list based on breed,
lesion type, patterns, and location. A focus on common clinical
problems highlights the conditions most likely to be seen in
practice. Almost 1,000 full-color photos of skin disorders make it
easy to distinguish clinical characteristics and variations of
normal and abnormal for accurate diagnosis and therapy.
