Quiller Publishing Ltd Beyond Dog Massage: A Breakthrough Method for
Book SynopsisWe all want our dogs to live pain-free, and we all want ways to connect with them. The Masterson Method® is an interactive approach to animal bodywork that follows and uses responses of the animal to your touch to find and release tension in areas of his body that affect: - His ability to get around. - His physical and mental well-being. - The quality of and length of his life. - His connection with you and other humans and animals. A lifelong horse person, Jim Masterson developed his method for the purpose of releasing tension and improving movement in the performance horse. An interesting benefit was that it led to improved communication and trust, and a better overall relationship with the horse. Since dogs go with horses “like peanut butter and jelly,” Jim says, it was only natural that he began to use his bodywork on canines, too. The techniques used in the Masterson Method rely on reading and following the subtle changes in the dog's body language as you work with him. Once you learn to read his body language, you will be “on the same page” and communication is established. Your dog recognizes that you understand what his body language is saying, that there is no threat to his well-being, and that he feels better when you work with him. In these pages you will learn the steps to incorporating the Masterson Method in your dog's life, bringing happiness to both of you. The Masterson Method is practical, easy to use, and results oriented. You see the results in the dog's responses during the bodywork, and in his behavior, comfort, and movement afterward. Beyond Dog Massage is the ideal instructional guide for all those seeking a better quality of life for and deeper connection with their dogs.

Elsevier Health Sciences Color Atlas of Veterinary Anatomy Volume 3 The
Book SynopsisPresents photographic record of dissections showing the topographical anatomy of the dog and cat. This book looks at various aspect of veterinary anatomy. It enables you 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.Trade Review"This second edition has expanded considerably its predecessor and the main differences are the frequent use of radiographs, CT and MRI scans, brief clinical notes to highlight the more significant areas and also access to an on-line resource and self-assessment tests. At over 500 pages the book is extremely comprehensive and the authors are to be applauded for their meticulous attention to detail. (...) I would foresee that this book will be an essential purchase of all veterinary pre-clinical students and should also find its way onto the shelves of most practice libraries." - Tim Hutchinson, BVSc CertSAS MRCVS; European Journal of Companion Animal Practice, October 2009 "This atlas is a valuable teaching tool for canine anatomy in conjunction with other sources. With its reasonable price, there is little doubt it will gain many friends among veterinary students." Vet Record, May 2010 ''The atlas offers regional and topographical anatomy in full colour images with the support of beautiful drawings labelled in full detailswith a nomenclature based on Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria. Dissections of the cadavers are viewed from the surface inward. The use of embalmed cadavers lacks realism, but it is helpful to study the topographical relationship between different anatomical structures.'' Simona T. Radaelli

Elsevier Health Sciences Piermatteis Atlas of Surgical Approaches to the
Book SynopsisFeatures detailed drawings that illustrate a wide range of surgical approaches. This title features six all new surgical approaches and three approaches which have been expanded to illustrate the modifications required when performing orthopedic surgery on the cat.Trade Review"I have used every edition of this book over the years as it has been, and continues to be, the only book that provides such comprehensive surgical anatomic detail with excellent illustrations of surgical approaches. It has been 10 years since the last edition and since that time veterinary surgeons have been adopting some of the minimally invasive techniques that are being used in human orthopedics for their small animal patients. A revised edition describing those approaches is therefore timely. The additional surgical anatomic descriptions of orthopedic approaches in cats are also welcome."-Tisha Harper, DVM, MS(University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine) Doody Review: 4stars "In summary, if you still don't have a previous edition of Piermattei's atlas of surgical approaches to the bones and joints of the dog and cat on your bookshelves, this is a must have. If you already have a previous edition, the difference between the 4th and 5th are not big, but there are a few additions that will still make it a worthwhile buy."

Elsevier Health Sciences Brinker Piermattei and Flos Handbook of Small
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewTwenty-three years have passed since publication of the first edition of this book and the fourth edition takes advantage of considerable worldwide experience in this field. Many veterinary surgeons already know this comprehensive textbook and have had an opportunity to appreciate its usefulness in daily practice when managing all types of orthopaedic problems. The format of the book is the usual one, as in the previous editions, with a first part dealing with the basic principles of the diagnosis and treatment of fractures, lameness and joint diseases, including fracture classification and all types of implants and systems of fixation. The second part describes the treatment of fractures and orthopaedic conditions of the fore- limb, while the third part considers the hind limb. The fourth part describes the approach to other fractures and to reconstruction of bone deformity, whilst the fifth part deals with miscellaneous conditions of the musculoskeletal system. This edition is considerably enriched by the excellent artwork of F. Dennis Giddings, the artist who first become famous with the milestone book for all orthopaedic surgeons, Piermattei's Atlas of Surgical Approaches to the bones and joints of the dog and cat. The approach to each musculoskeletal condition is very comprehensive, following the original philosophy of Wade Brinker, taking care in the description of the pathology, the diagnostic work-up, surgical indications and planning, surgical approach, surgical techniques, complications and follow-up. For this reason this textbook is very useful to all veterinary surgeons when approaching veterinary orthopaedic and traumatology problems and willing to find the technical solution to any musculoskeletal case they may find in their daily practice. For more experienced surgeons, already used to consult the previous editions, this fourth one will update their knowledge on the most recent diagnostic approaches, such as arthroscopy and the recently developed new techniques such as TPLO, guiding the reader in the choice of new solutions for several orthopaedic conditions. The addition of a new Author, Charles De Champ, is a guarantee for the continuous update of this textbook. Aldo Vezzoni, (I) Med. Vet., SCMPA, Dipl.

Taylor & Francis Inc Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats
Book SynopsisDiagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats makes the vast and increasingly complex topic of clinical MRI in small animals accessible to all veterinarians. With the increasing availability of MRI technology, there is also a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. This is the first reference textbook to provide a well-illustrated and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge, focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. With chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions, the book functions as a stand-alone reference for the reader, whether they be a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI. Includes both evidenced-based material and the authors'' personal experience, providing an excellent overview of current knowledge in the field. Contributors are international leaders in the field. BulleTrade ReviewThis ambitious book has been long overdue in veterinary diagnostic imaging and it will be hugely valued as a standard reference textbook by everybody working in this field. The condensed bullet point format makes it greatly accessible. - Dr Petra Agthe, CertVDI, DipECVDI, MRCVS, Head of Diagnostic Imaging, Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists I recently bought Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats as supplemental reading while applying for Neurology residencies. This book has exceeded my expectations by far! I have been bringing it everywhere with me, and the neurologist I currently shadow will be ordering it as well. - Dr Heather Simon, VMD, New Jersey "This is a very important resource for practitioners of diagnostic imaging who need a refresher, residents in training, neurologists, and any clinicians interested in learning to read MRI. It is extremely thorough, including even cardiac MRI, brachial and lumbosacral plexus MRI, eye and orbit MRI, and MRI of congenital abnormalities, among others. There are no comparable books in veterinary medicine." -Maureen McMichael, DVM, M.Ed., DACVECC (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine) This ambitious book has been long overdue in veterinary diagnostic imaging and it will be hugely valued as a standard reference textbook by everybody working in this field.
