Veterinary medicine: small animals (pets); Zoology & animal sciences

The investigation and management of ear disease occupies a significant portion of a veterinary clinician's time. Otitis externa, in particular, is likely to be seen by a busy small animal clinician at least once a day. Chronic, and chronic recurrent, it is frustrating and costly to the owner and often painful for the animal. This book provides a comprehensive source of information on the relevant structure, function, medicine, and surgery of the ear, from Otodectes cynotis infection to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. The book details the salient points of diagnosis and treatment and includes more than 200 colour illustrations.
