Comparative Veterinary Anatomy: A Clinical Approach describes the comprehensive, clinical application of anatomy for veterinarians, veterinary students, allied health professionals and undergraduate students majoring in biology and zoology. The book covers the applied anatomy of dogs, cats, horses, cows and other farm animals, with a short section on avian/exotics, with a focus on specific clinical anatomical topics. The work improves the understanding of basic veterinary anatomy by making it relevant in the context of common clinical problems. This book will serve as a single-source reference on the application of important anatomical structures in a clinical setting.

Students, practitioners and specialists will find this information easy-to-use and well-illustrated, thus presenting an accurate representation of essential anatomical structures that relates to real-life clinical situations in veterinary medicine.

Key Features

Presents multiple species, garnering a broad audience of interest for veterinarians, specialists, professional students, and undergraduate students majoring in the biological sciences
Contains detailed layered color figures at the beginning of each different species section in addition to numerous figures throughout
Focuses on clinically oriented anatomy
Correlates gross anatomy, radiology, ultrasound, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine in clinical case presentations

Book Reviews

"...provides a clinically oriented review of relevant veterinary anatomy for veterinary medicine students. It covers relevant species to veterinary medicine, such as dogs, cats, horses, cows, other farm animals, avians, and exotics. The purpose of the book is to recognize the importance and value of understanding the anatomy of animals and reinforce the relevant anatomy useful in clinical settings through the presentation of clinical cases. [It] makes an excellent contribution to the field by reinforcing concepts that students see in lectures, laboratories, and clinical spaces.... includes a section on imaging and imaging modalities, and several appendices with relevant information related to standard abbreviations, clinical reference intervals, and ranges for several domestic species. [Also] offers a clinical approach to reinforcing veterinary anatomy. It is an excellent complement to existing textbooks of veterinary anatomy, and a great resource for students in clinics, faculty, and instructional teams teaching veterinary anatomy."
