• This best selling manual has been fully revised and updated with the latest information. New chapters include neurological genetic disease testing and counselling; adjunctive therapies; and nutrition. This edition will also feature a DVD-ROM with video clips.

    Many veterinary practitioners consider neurology to be one of the most difficult specialties, yet it is an area that just requires a logical and systematic approach. Part 1 of the manual describes the increasing availability of diagnostic tests such as MRI. Part 2 covers the diverse signs and symptoms of neurological conditions. Part 3 provides up-to-date coverage of therapeutic options. The manual includes more than 100 videos recorded during clinical examination or diagnosis.
