Dewey (staff neurologist, Long Island Veterinary Specialists, Plainview, New York) and collaborators present the basic neuroanatomy needed for clinical veterinary work with small animals and discuss the techniques and treatments used in practice. The material is arranged in accordance with how clinicians approach cases, beginning with the formulation of the diagnostic plan and proceeding through descriptions of various disorders. Final chapters examine nursing care, pain management, alternative therapeutic modalities, and neurotoxicities likely to occur in dogs and cats. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
