Reviews

A handy size, glossy and well presented... Overall, I think this book is a useful quick reference, if you already know the basics and just need pointing in the right direction for a tricky case. (Veterinary Record, December 2010)

This recent addition to the notes on series from Wiley Blackwell is an excellent tool for those who want to practice good medicine ... To help you, there are pictures (of course, dermatology is a very visual science) but most of all the numerous algorithms are an invaluable help in the diagnosis process. (Tomorrow's Vet , 2011) This is an easy-to-read practical handbook that is useful for diagnosing and treating common small animal skin diseases. (Veterinary Times, 22 August 2011) This book is an information dense text written in an outline format. It is intended for the busy practitioner or the neophyte dermatologist who needs ready access to information. (Veterinary Dermatology, 1 July 2011) Notes on Small Animal Dermatology provides a very comprehensive approach to skin disease, allowing the clinician a flexbility of approach, and offering plenty of detailed information to the general practitioner who adds this book to the surgery's bookshelf. (Veterinary Practice, 1 July 2011) With dermatology cases being a common part of small animal practice, Notes on Small Animal Dermatology is a concise and well presented book, which should prove invaluable to the practicing small animal veterinarian as a quick reference guide in the clinic. This book could also assist veterinary students, through presentation of different approaches to the diagnosis of skin diseases. (Australian Veterinary Journal, 1 March 2011) A handy size, glossy and well presented... Overall, I think this book is a useful quick reference, if you already know the basics and just need pointing in the right direction for a tricky case. (Veterinary Record, December 2010)
