Cats are not small dogs and they are frequently forgotten in the literature. This
book is intended to be an easy to use reference for practitioners and
dermatology enthusiasts that only focuses on cats and their manifestations of skin
disease. The emphasis will be on problem-based approach with numerous
flowcharts and clinical images to provide examples of the various manifestations of
skin disease in cats. The prominence is placed on clinically applicable
information and experienced based clinical tips to help clinicians troubleshoot the
various clinical presentations of skin disease in this species. Many dermatologic
diseases may look alike and the purpose of this book is to help clinicians
successfully diagnose the underlying disease rather than empirically treat
symptoms. Particular emphasis will be placed on syndromes that are peculiar of
cats and the special precautions that need to be taken when prescribing
treatments in this species.
