mental health and behavior issues, offers thorough explanations of
options, and explores why a particular drug should be prescribed
and why it works. Updated to include the recent advances in
psychopharmacology for pets, the Second Edition includes new
chapters that cover the principles of psychopharmacology,
miscellaneous serotonergic agents, anticonvulsants and mood
stabilizers, sympatholytic agents, and NMDA antagonists. In
addition, the text explains the drug options, including all the
information necessary to correct dysfunctions in the brain's
chemistry through pharmacologic treatment. This important resource:
Presents an updated and comprehensive resource for pharmacologic
treatments for pet, equine, and zoo animal psychiatric disorders
and behavior problems Contains in-depth information on drugs that
promote neurochemical changes that will alter the mood, emotional
state, reactivity, and behavior of the patient, including
prescribing options and mechanisms of action Includes new chapters

agents, mood stabilizers, sympatholytic agents, and NMDA
antagonists Written for veterinarians, veterinary behaviorists, and
veterinary students, the updated second edition of Veterinary
Psychopharmacology is a complete source for current knowledge on
pharmacologic behavior modification. "Overall, this book packs a
substantial amount of useful data into approximately 300 pages. The
scope of the book is comprehensive and may include more in-depth
information than casual prescribers seek, but it will be a good
resource for the practitioners who are interested in immersing
themselves into veterinary psychopharmacology." - JAVMA Vol 255 No.
