Les coliques chez le cheval représentent toujours un motif légitime d’inquiétude. Aussi, les conseils et l’expertise de spécialistes en la matière ne sont jamais superflus. C’est bien là que se situe l’objectif de ce livre : répondre aux questions que se posent les vétérinaires confrontés à des cas de coliques souvent délicats à appréhender. Coller au plus près des réalités du terrain et de la pratique quotidienne, telle est la préoccupation qui s’inscrit en filigrane tout au long de l’ouvrage. Les auteurs proposent ainsi une approche rationnelle, inspirée du vécu, et offrent des solutions pragmatiques, tout en s’appuyant sur les progrès réalisées ces dernières années dans la connaissance théorique, les outils et les techniques facilitant la maîtrise des coliques chez le cheval. Examen clinique, prise en charge diagnostique et thérapeutique sur le terrain, puis prise en charge en clinique spécialisée sont les grands axes qui structurent les trois premiers chapitres du livre. Une dernière partie détaille par le menu les différentes affections gastro-intestinales que l’on peut identifier comme étant à l’origine de coliques. Le texte est enrichi d’encadrés synthétiques et illustré par une iconographie composée de plus de 300 photographies et de près d’une centaine de dessins descriptifs.

122 pages
27,65 €

Ce guide s'intéresse aux conditions environnementales qui, spécifiquement pendant les premières semaines de son existence, permettront au chiot d'acquérir un statut émotionnel équilibré.

Après avoir rappelé les bases théoriques du développement comportemental du chiot, l'auteur en décrit les troubles puis propose un certain nombre de conseils et de solutions pratiques destinés à en déceler et en prévenir l'apparition, en particulier au sein des élevages.

Il s'agit pour Laurence Dillière-Lesseur de chercher à créer un consensus sur les conseils à prodiguer aux différents " acteurs " de la vie du chiot.

Ces différents acteurs étant représentés en premier lieu par l'éleveur (qu'il soit professionnel ou amateur) puis, en bout de chaîne, par l'adoptant. Le vétérinaire, qui est en général consulté au moment des premiers vaccins, joue un rôle non négligeable de passerelle, " acteur " intermédiaire capable d'" expertiser " l'équilibre émotionnel du chiot au sein de l'élevage, ou au sortir de celui-ci, et d'orienter l'éleveur et l'adoptant par des conseils de comportement, notamment en matière de prévention.

L'auxiliaire spécialisée vétérinaire (ASV), sa plus solide alliée en conseils de première intention, est également grandement impliquée dans cette aventure, car souvent sollicitée

The 5th edition of Jubb, Kennedy, and Palmer’s Pathology of Domestic Animals continues the long tradition of this classic set of volumes as the most comprehensive reference book published on the topic of pathology of the common domestic mammals, with emphasis on disease conditions of cattle and small ruminants, swine, horses, dogs and cats. Using a body systems approach, recognized authorities in their fields provide overviews of general characteristics of the system, reactions to insult, and disease conditions broken down by type of infectious or toxic insult affecting the anatomical subdivisions of each body system. Since the publication of the 4th edition in 1993, much has changed. Disease agents, such as Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type 2, Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), Porcine circovirus 2, Hendra virus, and Leptospira spp., have emerged or further evolved. Molecular-based testing, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in-situ hybridization, have allowed further understanding of pathogenesis of disease, and have greatly furthered our diagnostic capabilities.

Features
- Thoroughly revised text, including new or evolving pathogens and new diagnostic techniques.
- Approximately 880 new illustrations
- Maintains the currency of the text, assists the reader in putting new conditions into perspective.
- Updating of the Bibliography on each subject gives readers new entry points into the rapidly expanding literature on each subject.
