Editorial Reviews

There is simply no substitute for seeing gait disturbances and other neurologic deficits in real clinical cases.”  (Vet Med Today, 15 December 2013

“Two new chapters have been included here to cover the genetics of such diseases and recent discoveries in the field of molecular biology and breed associations, while descriptions of advancements in radiology and clinical definitions continue to make this a basic bible of reference material for veterinary students and practicing vets alike.”  (Midwest Book Reviews, 1 October 2013)

“A 'must' for any practice!.”  (Midwest Book Reviews, 1 August 2013)
