This reference cuts through a mass of anatomical detail to provide a clear guide to the anatomy of the dog and cat that is relevant to the everyday demands of veterinary practice. Color Atlas of Clinical Anatomy of the Dog & Cat, second edition, has: over 275 color photographs of anatomical dissections; more than 75 black and white photographs - radiographs and ultrasonographs; clinical relevance for practicing vets when undertaking surgical procedures; all the information needed for veterinary students, provided in a clear, concise format; both cat and dog dissections, to highlight the key anatomical differences between the two species; and anatomical pictures of fresh, unfixed material to show the normal appearance of the tissues. New material in this edition includes: new "Clinical Notes" boxes to provide more of a link between the dissections and surgical procedures; over 40 completely new ultrasonographs, including new extended field of view modalities; new cross-sectional photographs of specimens to help interpret new diagnostic techniques; lots more material on joints, tendons, and ligaments; more material on the cat; and new ultrasound images of the eye.

Focuses on the anatomical study of the cat and the dog, with step-by-step layering of dissections and providing guidance on surgical approaches. Special emphasis is placed on regions of clinical interest throughout.

This atlas provides photographic illustrations of the gross anatomy of the dog and cat using, wherever possible, fresh, unprocessed material. This provides the realism needed to identify the anatomy of the dog and cat on the dissecting table, in the operating room.

If you are looking for a book that presents a unique photographic record of dissections showing the topographical anatomy of the dog and cat: this is the atlas for you! Part of a comprehensive 3-volume set that also covers Ruminants (Volume 1) and The Horse (Volume 2), the Color Atlas of the Dog and Cat takes a complete look at virtually every aspect of veterinary anatomy. With this book you will be able to see the position and relationships of bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and viscera that go to make up each region of the body and each organ system. Rich with full-color photographs and drawings of dissections prepared specifically for these texts, each book in the series illustrates regional surface features photographed before dissection, then gives high-quality complementary photographs of articulated skeletons. Accessibly and systematically structured with each chapter is devoted to a specific body region Important features of regional and topographical anatomy presented in full color photos of detailed dissections Detailed color line drawings clarify the relationships of relevant structures Website offers drag and drop quizzes and the chance to test yourself with mcqs Informative captions give additional information necessary for proper interpretation of the images Presents anatomy in a clinical context

This new resource provides a basic foundation in small animal anatomy for students of veterinary medicine, animal science, and veterinary technology. Extraordinary accuracy and beautiful original artwork make this a truly unique learning tool that includes the anatomy of all organ systems in the dog, cat, rabbit, rat, and guinea pig - all described in a consistent manner. Learning features include: carefully selected labeling helps students learn and remember structures and relationships; male and female of species are depicted on facing pages so topographic anatomy can be compared; structures common to various animals are labeled several times, whereas unique structures are labeled on one or two species so students can make rapid distinctions of the structures peculiar to certain animals; and an introduction that provides readers with a background in nomenclature and anatomic orientation so they can benefit from the atlas even if they lack training in anatomy. The Atlas depicts topographic relationships of major organs in a simple, yet technically accurate presentation that's free from extraneous material so that those using the atlas can concentrate on the essential aspects of anatomy. It will be an invaluable resource for veterinary students, teachers and practitioners alike.
