Description
The new edition of this highly illustrated volume on small animal spinal disorders contains much more text than the previous edition, and has been re-organised into an illustrated text. All possible spinal disorders are covered - from trauma and disc disease to neoplasia and much more. Introductory chapters on relevant functional anatomy and clinical examination are followed by chapters on diagnosis, differential diagnosis and pre-operative assessment (including diagnostic aids and instrumentation). Each spinal disorder is then reviewed, giving operative techniques where necessary to enhance the detailed text. A discussion of post-operative management, possible complications and outcome is also included.Encompassing all aspects of spinal disorders, from the presenting features of each spinal disorder to the outcomes after surgery or other treatment, and packed full of colour and black-and-white illustrations, Small Animal Spinal Disorders will give you all the information you need to diagnose and treat these complicated disorders.Key Features
- This edition moves from an atlas-style presentation to that of a fully illustrated text.
- Lengthy figure legends have been replaced with shorter, easier-to-digest figure legends.
- 50 new color prints and line figures enhance coverage on new spine surgery techniques.
- A description-rich presentation of surgical procedures, outcomes, and complications makes this edition a vital resource for every clinical practice.

No title specifically on small animal spinal surgery, although all the key small animal surgery titles such as Fossum will have a chapter on it.
Jeffrey, Handbook of Small Animal Spinal Surgery, WBS UK, published 4/95, £44.95, is now o/p. Sales were 1207 copies.
This book was very poorly illustrated (and b&w) in comparison to the Wheeler, and lacked input from a high-profile US institute (which the Wheeler has). Focussed exclusively on surgical techniques, unlike the Wheeler which covers all aspects of spinal disorders, with diagnosis as well as treatment.
