This pocket guide (which could also work well as a study guide) gives the basics of musculoskeletal disorders, including their definition, pathophysiology, systems affected, genetics, incidence and prevalence, geographic distribution, signalment (including breed predilections), mean age and range, signs (including historical and physical examination findings), methods of diagnosis and treatment, medications, follow-up, and miscellaneous considerations such as associated conditions and pregnancy. Each condition includes suggested reading, and this edition includes 20 color plates illustrating structures in both canines and felines and an index.
