Skin and ear diseases represent common problems in general practice. As the response to treatment largely depends on the correct identification of the primary disease, a systematic step-by-step approach is critical. The purpose of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dermatology is to be an easy-to-read resource focused on the clinically relevant aspects of dermatological diseases. In this new edition, the initial chapters review the basic structure and function of the skin and discuss a logical approach to history taking and the core investigative tests that can be performed. New to this edition is a separate chapter on skin cytology, which features many excellent images illustrating the cytology of common skin conditions that we hope will be useful to practitioners.
