Over recent years several endocrine disorders, such as feline acromegaly and hyperaldosteronism, have become of greater importance and a range of new therapies have emerged that are now considered routine. This Manual has been comprehensively updated, while retaining the emphasis on the common problems encountered in investigating and treating endocrine diseases. The contents are divided into sections covering each endocrine gland and the major and minor endocrine disorders of each species. A separate section deals with relevant presenting complaints in a problem oriented manner.

While covering all the major areas of internal medicine of the dog and cat, this book emphasizes the more common disorders. The book is organized by body system, and each chapter is structured in a consistent way, providing the definition of each disorder, its causes, clinical features, differential diagnoses, diagnosis, and management options. The practical, focused text is richly illustrated throughout by 1,505 clinical color photographs, imaging, diagrams and tables.
