This book is very well organized into easy to locate categories and has many photo examples of dermpath, along with great verbal descriptions of diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis. Highly recommended for those in private practice who see the MANY derm cases the we do each day.
a "must have' for any veterinary student August 14, 2008

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am vet tech student interested in studying veterinary dermatology and this book was perfect for me. The photos in this book are of great quality and in addition, the chapters are very well organized and descriptive. I would reccommend this book to anyone interested in this branch of veterinary medicine. You may want to have a medical terminology dictionary on hand if you are a student just starting out...
Book Review January 15, 2009
K. Smith (Quebec, QC, Canada)
This is a very helpful reference for Veterinary Technicians with color illustrations and easy to follow diagnosis. I am using this while working for a Humane Society and we receive many animals with skin conditions. I would recommend this book for others in the same line of work. It`s a very helpful guide to many different conditions which helps Technicians and staff recognize and treat them properly. Especially when working in a environment where there is not always a vet on hand.
great refference, very handy February 20, 2009

Must Have! April 10, 2009
Dr. S Waters (Las Vegas, NV)
This book is a necessity at the clinic as it offers A LOT of color pictures and examples of cases. It's great for the practitioner that needs a quick reference tool and is a great teaching aid for your para staff. Offers quick read common presentations, examples, rule out lists, and treatment options.
