Short description
A growing population of companion animals is undergoing previously uncontemplated surgical procedures and surviving what would, in the past, have been rapidly fatal conditions. This new manual is aimed at the whole veterinary team, drawing on their skills to help patients achieve full function after surgery, trauma or dysfunction, and to manage effectively those conditions that may adversely affect the quality of an animal's life. A case-based approach shows how the principles of clinical nutrition, pain management, physical rehabilitation and nursing care can be applied to these challenging patients.
