With detailed, full-color coverage of surgical procedures, Veterinary Surgery: Small Animal is an authoritative, two-volume reference on the art and science of small animal surgery. Expert contributors discuss surgical principles, neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgery, along with soft tissue surgery, always supported by evidence-based research and complete surgical instructions. More procedures are covered with greater detail than in comparable books, and a greater emphasis on pathophysiology shows how it relates to diagnosis, treatment, and overall case management. Experienced coeditors Karen Tobias and Spencer Johnston provide the definitive reference for veterinary surgery, whether you want clear guidelines to procedures or you are preparing for the ACVS board examination.
