This book is intended for clinicians and deals with equine dermatology problems commonly seen in practice. Beginning with how to approach a case, it covers case history, signalment, identification of primary vs secondary lesions and the distribution of lesions, with examples of differential diagnoses based on the detection of specific lesions. The book is then organized by disease, with chapters addressing problems and symptoms such as pruritus, allergy, parasitic, crusting, nodules, ulcerative and crusting dermatoses. This book provides: a problem based approach to formulate differential diagnoses and a logical diagnostic and therapeutic plan; over 190 color images to help identify the lesion; tables and flow charts allowing quick access to important diagnostic and treatment information. Manual of Equine Dermatology is fully illustrated and indexed throughout, to aid identification for practitioners who must quickly diagnose and treat skin problems in horses.
