Your practical guide to managing neurology cases from presentation to diagnosis and treatment.

This revised and updated edition of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Neurology provides veterinary professionals with a logical and systematic approach to managing these challenging presentations. The book takes readers through the increasing range of diagnostic tests and procedures that are available, followed by chapters covering the diverse signs and symptoms of neurological conditions, then finally a section on current therapeutic options.
