Reseñas

"This is a book for the busy vet, in general small animal practice. It is indeed 'a practical tool you'll see use every day!' In conclusion, the third edition is better than the previous ones, even if a list of references and further reading might have been useful."

Vet Today, October 2011

"Additional material for the third edition includes personal comments by the author in 'author's notes' boxes and a chapter on the more common skin conditions of avian and exotic species kept as pets...This practical, unpretentious dermatology atals has hundreds of good-quality relevant photographs to portray a very visual subject."
