This new reviewed and updated Fifth edition of the best-selling BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Neurology has been restructured to aid the reader in managing neurological cases from first presentation through to diagnosis and treatment. Not only are there clear images and illustrations to compliment the text, but there are also over 100 new videos available on the BSAVA library, showing various neurological cases.

There are 5 new chapters with extensive information covering:

  • Acute myelopathies - the approach to commonly encountered acute myelopathies, including the key clinical signs, diagnostic tools, management approaches and prognoses associated with these conditions
  • Chronic Myelopathies - the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas that present with chronic spinal disease encountered in veterinary practice
  • Emergency protocols - includes flowcharts for common emergencies, offering guidance with accurate localization, important differential diagnoses and immediate therapeutic interventions
  • Neurotoxicology -general management of exogenous neurotoxicity and covering common toxins with reference to mechanism of action, clinical signs, treatment and prognosis
  • Neuro-oncology - intracranial and centrally located tumours encountered in practice and their non-surgical and surgical approaches to treatment.

CONTENTS: The neurological examination; Clinical reasoning; Clinical pathology; Electrophysiology; Neuroimaging; Tissue biopsy; Genetic diseases; Emergency protocols; Seizures; Encephalopathies; Disorders of the eyes and vision; Vestibular syndrome; Abnormalities of the head and face; Movement disorders; Neck and back pain; Acute myelopathies; Chronic Myelopathies; Monoparesis or monoplegia; Generalized weakness, exercise intolerance, collapse; Tail, anal and bladder dysfunction; Neurotoxicology; Anaesthesia and analgesia; Principles of neurosurgery; Drug therapy for disease of the nervous system; Neuro-oncology; Rehabilitation of the neurological patient.
