This fully revised and expanded edition illustrates common ophthalmic diseases in dogs, cats, horses, birds, and farm animals. It incorporates the latest developments in medications and treat-ment options - both surgical and non-surgical - relevant to veterinary practitioners.
Structured to mirror the steps of a clinical examination, the book serves as a reliable and indispen-sable handbook both for the veterinary ophthalmology novice and the general practitioner.
The text highlights diseases that can be challenging to diagnose without specialized experience or specific instruments. Ophthalmic emergencies and rare presentations are also described to complete the range of possible ophthalmic disorders - making differential diagnosis easier for the veterinary practitioner.
