Handbook of Veterinary Medicine: Vol. 3 – Skin, Endocrine, Metabolic and Deficiency Diseases provides an integrated clinical reference on important non-infectious and production-related diseases affecting livestock and companion animals. The volume covers common dermatological disorders, endocrine diseases, metabolic and nutritional deficiencies, transition-period disorders and herd health management. It also addresses cognitive dysfunction, common clinical poisonings in farm animals and dogs, emergency and critical care medicine, and diseases of neonates. Particular emphasis is given to clinical manifestations, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and management. By bringing dermatological, endocrine, metabolic and nutritional disorders together with herd health, toxicology, emergency care and neonatal medicine, the book highlights the systemic interconnections among diseases and their importance in animal health, welfare and productivity. The volume is intended as a useful reference for undergraduate and postgraduate veterinary students, teachers, researchers and practicing veterinarians.
