Includes:: the use of diagnostic tools such as radiology spinal fluid analysis electrodiagnosis & MR imaging Case histories in each chapter present a problem & the results of the neurologic examination then askyou to solve the problem by localizing the lesion listing probable causes & making a diagnostic plan Answers are provided at the back of the book A consistent format for each case history
Includes:: signalment history physical examination findings & neurologic examination A comprehensive appendix describes species & breeds that have a congenital predisposition for particular neurologic diseases Extensive references make it easy to pursue in-depth research of more advanced topics A companion website
