Chronic Disease Management for Small Animals (EPUB)

Chronic Disease Management for Small Animals is a comprehensive resource that offers practical guidance on managing chronic illnesses in small animals. This book provides expert strategies for successful management of chronic disorders and expert guidance on how to handle these conditions and animals suffering from them.

The book, written by leading experts in their respective fields, covers chronic diseases across many categories, including mobility, dermatology, ophthalmology, internal medicine, and more. The multidisciplinary approach of the book means that it is not meant to replace existing textbooks, but to serve as a practical guide educating the reader about therapeutic options for chronic disease management.
