Designed as a textbook to introduce the broad principles of pathogenesis, pharmacology and hygiene as they apply to domestic animals, this text provides fundamental information about the mechanisms of disease. It explains the principles of immunity, wound repair, inflammation, and other body defence mechanisms. Principles which affect disease prevention and control and influence success or failure of drug therapy are included. Discussion also features physical therapy procedures such as massage, exercise, immobilization and adjustments in feeding and handling.
