Ophthalmology for the Veterinary Practitioner

This fully revised and expanded edition illustrates common ophthalmic diseases in dogs, cats, horses, birds, and farm animals. It covers clinical examination procedures, typical symptoms, breed-specific predispositions as well as medications and treatment 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 indispensable handbook both for the veterinary ophthalmology novice and the general practitioner. The book 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.
