    Devant l'afflux croissant des nouveaux animaux de compagnie en consultation vétérinaire, le praticien voit ses compétences cliniques sollicitées à propos d'espèces très variées et encore peu connues. Il doit ainsi redoubler de vigilance pour recueillir et interpréter une symptomatologie souvent atypique, parfois fruste. Comprendre le comportement propre à chaque espèce est dès lors essentiel pour l'examen clinique. Cet ouvrage de synthèse vient combler un manque cruel dans la bibliothèque des vétérinaires, en faisant le point sur le comportement de nombreuses espèces de NAC : • lapin • perroquets • reptiles • furet • cochon d'Inde • rat • gerbille • hamster • chinchilla • fennec • hérisson • chien de prairie • opossum • phalanger volant Pour chacune de ces espèces, l'ouvrage présente : • tous les comportements normaux et anormaux, associés aux besoins physiologiques (alimentaire, sexuel, locomoteur, toilettage) et aux interactions sociales (communication, jeux, défense et agressivité) ; • tous les aspects corrélés à la captivité, en mettant l'accent sur les problèmes fréquents associés à la pseudo-domestication (sommeil, nutrition, reproduction, logement, adoption, soins à administrer) ; • les implications médicales lors de comportement anormal, développées de manière complète et détaillée, ce qui sera une aide précieuse pour l'orientation diagnostique. Très pratique, ce guide apporte nombre d'astuces qui seront autant de services rendus au cours d'une consultation et de réponses fiables aux questions des propriétaires. • abondante iconographie couleur. • nombreux encadrés aide-mémoire : signes de souffrance, hospitalisation, comportement agressif, postures et vocalises, apprentissage du bac à litière et méthodes de modifications comportementales, etc. • fiches-conseil pour les propriétaires : nutrition, conditions d'élevage, hygiène, risques, soins préventifs.

    Is it ever appropriate to diagnose and treat oral and dental problems without knowing the full extent of the problem? With more than 50% of anatomical structures and associated pathologies located below the gingivae and unseen to the eye, that’s the reality without the use of high-quality, accurately interpreted radiographs. Atlas of Dental Radiography in Dogs and Cats presents hundreds of actual radiographic images, which are clearly labeled to facilitate accurate identification of normal and abnormal features. This valuable new atlas shows you exactly how to correlate common dental conditions with radiographic signs. Radiographs are also compared side by side with actual anatomical photographs to confirm surface landmarks visible on the radiographs. Correct positioning techniques for producing diagnostic radiographs as well as helpful tips and pitfalls when obtaining quality radiographs are logically presented. This approach helps you produce consistently high-quality radiographs, sharpen your interpretive skills, and confidently treat a wide range of dental problems.
