The Feline Patient 5th edition

Stručný popis

Ověřený kolektiv zahraničních uznávaných autorů již od roku 1998 usilovně pracuje na encyklopedickém zpracování přehledu onemocnění koček, která je uživatelsky příjemnou příručkou pro praktické veterinární lékaře specializující se na onemocnění koček, případně majitelů praxi jejichž čekárny a ordinace se plní mňoukajícími pacienty. Autoři zvolili tradiční koncept abecedního uspořádání onemocnění a postižení do více jak 300 kapitol. V každé kapitole je stručně osvětlena daná problematika úvodním popisem, diagnotikou terapií a prognózou. Kapitola je vždy uzavřena doporučeným přehledem literatury a autorovými doporučeními. Proto se tato publikace stala oblíbenou mezi praktickými veterinárními lékaři.
