This benchmark manual will be of great help to small animal vets working with patients with endocrine disorders. The book contains a large number of graphs, tables and images to illustrate the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of endicrine disorders in cats and dogs. The apoproach for patients who show frequent endocrine disorders, such as polyurea/polydipsia, bilateral alopecia, obesity and weakness, are described. Canine and feline endocrine disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, diabetes, hypoadrenocorticism, insulinoma, hypophyseal dwarfism and acromegaly) are dealt with in detail and, finally, there is a detailed description of the protocols for diagnostic tests and their interpretation in the diagnosis and monitoring of the treatment.
