Sinopsis

This book reviews, using a highly visual approach, the most common eye disorders and diseases affecting dogs; it includes illustrations, images, and 3D animations to provide veterinary practitioners with a genuine experience of clinical ophthalmology. The content is particularly useful, with concise, comprehensible texts that are supported by the visual material.
