Synopsis

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.

Praise for this book:

Overall this is an incredibly detailed and accessible book covering every aspect of neurological emergencies. It is beautifully laid out with colored photographs, schematic diagrams, example x-rays, and MRIs in abundance...anybody, whether in referral or general practice, who sees neurological cases even on a rare occasion will find this book both invaluable and interesting. -- Sharon Cole, Veterinary Practice, October, 2012
