This manual takes a problem-oriented approach to endocrinology, focusing on the conditions most commonly seen in general practice. Practical information is laid out for ease of access, with diagnostic algorithms and treatment protocols acting as aide-mémoires for the busy clinician.

The fifth edition of this popular manual provides a ready reference for veterinary surgeons in general practice and will also be useful for nurses, students and graduates embarking on further qualifications. This edition consolidates background information on endocrine systems with advice for the investigation and treatment of disorders affecting them.

• Opens with an expanded introduction to endocrine diseases, covering underlying principles and a discussion of the genetic basis for endocrine disease.

• The bulk of the manual is split into sections comprehensively covering disorders of specific glands and systems.

• A section on unusual endocrine gland diseases, new to this edition, guides the reader through the diagnostic approach and next steps in handling complex medical cases.
