Description
This new book deals systematically with the assessment and treatment of small animal neurological patients in light of latest research findings and greatly improved imaging techniques.
The authors first discuss step-wise neurological and systemic approaches to common emergency cases-examination, critical care and rapid assessment-based on presenting signs. They then deal in depth with the pathophysiology, treatment options and likely prognoses of each of the more common types of neurological emergency, be it vascular accident, infection, trauma, seizure, acute disease or neoplasia. Detailed support techniques and therapies are provided on emergency anaesthesia, pain management, fluid therapy, post-operative care and physical rehabilitation.
The book will appeal to small animal practitioners, specialists, residents, course directors and students interested in neurology, emergency medicine and critical care, internal medicine, imaging and pathology.

... chock full of helpful images, diagrams, tables of differentials, and numerous decision-making flowcharts, all of which help to clarify what is being discussed. The list of abbreviations in the beginning is also very helpful...a valuable tool that most veterinarians will find extremely useful and should have in their clinic library...readable and easy to understand...I would highly recommend this to my peers-Donna Jacobsen, DVM, Doody's Review Service, March 2013
The scope is much wider than just emergency presentation and treatment. The contributors are specialists in neurology, surgery, anaesthesia, and emergency and critical care from the United Kingdom, United States, Europe and Australia. ... The inclusion of so much information makes this book a very good reference for any clinician (from students to medical and surgical specialists) to gain a better understanding of neurological diseases, their diagnosis, treatment and prognosis using a systematic approach. The illustrations, including diagrams, clinical cases, imaging and pathology, are excellent.
