Diagnostic imaging techniques are increasingly important in veterinary medicine. Even if in the past they required a heavy investment, the truth is they are now more affordable and present in almost every vet practice. Radiography was the first technique to arrive and ultrasonography has undoubtedly come to stay. In fact, ultrasonography may provide invaluable information to confirm presumptive diagnosis if, and only if, the clinician is able to perform and identify the normal ultrasonographic appearance of organs, is familiar with variations from normal, and knows how to interpret them. The aim of this book is to provide veterinary surgeons with a visual guide to perform abdominal ultrasonographic examination in dogs, helping them disorders and assisting with the diagnosis and treatment.

This illustrated work aims at helping veterinary surgeons to communicate with pet owners. In keeping with the previous volume about surgery, the illustrations of this atlas dedicated to dermatology will simplify the explanations given by vets to their clients about the anatomical, physiological and pathological characteristics of skin, as well as those about the diagnostic tests, treatments and surgical techniques that may need to be carried out in some cases. Every illustration was designed to help in the different clinical aspects of the dermatology consultation, from the anatomical and physiological considerations about the skin and its annexes, to the graphic description of infectious, inflammatory, endocrine, allergic or tumoral disease processes which cause dermatological conditions. The clarity and accuracy of the illustrations, designed to make the explanations given to owners easier to understand and less time consuming, turn this atlas into another useful clinical tool.

The aim of this book is to provide the practitioner with the most recent and best evidence information about the infection of Coxiella burnetii (Cb), causative agent of Q fever, in ruminants. After a brief introduction to highlight the important aspects of the bacteriology of Cb, the epidemiology and the pathogenesis will be described to strengthen the key points in terms of further control strategies improvement, especially regarding prevalence and description of different putative shedding patterns. Then, the clinical course of the disease will be described and the impact of Cb on reproduction disorders will be detailed, based on an exhaustive review of the literature. The available diagnostic tools will be described and some diagnostic scheme will be provided to help the practitioner in routine practice. The final chapter of this book will be devoted to a review of the different available control strategies, both medical and non medical ones. A special focus will be made on the data, provided by recent studies, on the interest of the use of antibiotics and/or vaccination to reduce and prevent Coxiella burnetii shedding in ruminants. We hope that this book, resolutely practical, will help veterinarians and farmers to better control Coxiella burnetii infection.

This book deals with pain in companion animals and how it affects their welfare, health and, of course, behaviour. It describes the difficulties encountered, throughout history, to finally reach the conclusion that animals and humans share the same neurophysiological mechanisms to feel pain, and what their sensitive pathways are. It then goes deeper into the changes that pain can cause in the behaviour of dogs and cats and the tools available to the veterinary surgeon to control it. Good veterinary practice and professional ethics lead us to try to reduce pain in animals as much as possible. Having a book such as this one can help us achieve this objective.
