Small Animal Microbiomes and Nutrition
by Robin Saar Sarah DoddSmall Animal Microbiomes and Nutrition Comprehensive resource providing holistic coverage of the effect of body microbiomes on the health status of dogs and cats Small Animal Microbiomes and Nutrition offers new perspective on the prevention and treatment of common health conditions in dogs and cats that arise from or result in dysbiosis of the body’s microbiomes, along with providing alternative first-line solutions of utilizing nutrients—less invasive procedures in comparison to prescription drugs to treat dysbiosis in the body’s microbiomes. This practical manual guides the reader through body systems that are commonly influenced by the microbiota in the microbiomes as well as accompanying dietary recommendations. Initially, an overview of the body’s microbiome including common terminology and functions of microbiomes precede the chapters on development of the body’s microbiomes and factors influencing their diversity and density. The following three sections provide readers with a different perspective of commonly observed health conditions by focusing on the state of the microbiome and how the condition may be prevented and/or treated with the use of nutrients. Written by a highly qualified author with significant experience in the field, Small Animal Microbiomes and Nutrition includes information on sample topics such as: Results of research on alternative diets and emerging ingredients’ effect on the microbiomes and how to have the discussions with pet parents Nutrition focused calculations, feeding directions, and templates for history, and recommendation for follow-up conversations with pet parents Factors affecting the diversity and density of the microbiomes, such as genetics, age, sex, environment, stress, antibiotic therapy, and nutrition Integumentary microbiomes, covering the skin’s microbiome, dysfunctional barrier syndrome, atopy (atopic dermatitis), and key nutritional factors Small Animal Microbiomes and Nutrition is an essential resource for students completing companion animal health courses in two- and four-year programs, particularly those in veterinary technology, veterinary technician, and animal health technology diplomas and degrees, and it is also highly useful for students in other veterinary and animal science focused programs. Additionally, this book is essential in veterinary practices as a reference guide to support the transition into the utilization of microbiome medicine.

Small Animal Neuroanatomic Lesion Localization Practice Book
by Susan Arnold Joy Delamaide Gasper Kari Foss Julian Guevar Devon Hague Sam Long Simon Platt Helena RylanderNeuroanatomic lesion localization (detecting where a neurologic problem arises) is key when presented with a dog or cat with signs of neurologic disease. The correct neuroanatomic lesion localization will drive veterinarians towards an appropriate list of differential diagnoses and help lead the client towards applicable diagnostic investigation. Neuroanatomic lesion localization is the first step when managing any pet with signs of neurologic disease. Despite its importance, it remains a challenge for veterinary students, residents and practitioners in their daily practice. Laid out in a case-based format and workbook style to guide the reader through neuroanatomic lesion localization, this book: Covers the whole process from the animal's examination through to diagnosis; Includes localizations of intercranial disease, spinal cord disease, neuromuscular disease and multifocal disease; Provides blank practice sheets to encourage the reader to work through cases, testing and consolidating their knowledge multiple times. Written by a team of eminent, international veterinary neurologists, this book is an invaluable resource for veterinary students and practitioners looking to expand their skills in veterinary neurology.
Small Animal Oncology
by Joanna Morris Jane DobsonNeoplasms are common in dogs and cats and it has been estimated that 50% of dogs and cats aged over 10 years die of neoplasia. The demand for treatment of pets with cancer is increasing and seems likely to do so for the foreseeable future as more animals become insured and their treatment costs are covered. The purpose of this book is to provide a basic clinical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of the more common tumours in dogs and cats for the practising veterinary surgeon, undergraduate student and veterinary nurse. It is not intended to be a comprehensive reference book, covering all aspects of veterinary oncology, since several such texts exist. Rather it seeks to provide a core of basic, easily accessible and clinically relevant information on general aspects of veterinary oncology. The first three chapters present general background information on pathogenesis, tumour biology, managing the cancer patient and the most frequently used methods of treatment. Practical details of chemotherapy and guidance on safety are given, as well as coverage of radiotherapy. The remaining chapters then provide specific information on the epidemiology, aetiology, pathology, presentation, staging, management and prognosis for tumours occurring in the different body systems.
