Clinical Dermatology of Companion Animals (Dog, Cat, Small Mammals)

Clinical Dermatology of Companion Animals is designed to be a valuable resource for professional veterinarians who are called upon to manage simple, complex, or challenging dermatological cases—representing approximately 30% of the total clinical workload. It is equally beneficial for veterinary students, helping them acquire modern, objective, and accurate dermatological knowledge.
From the very first glance, the book’s rich illustration harmonizes with its highly comprehensible text. Emphasis is placed on diagnostic approaches and therapeutic management of skin diseases, classified primarily by etiology (e.g., fungal dermatitis, skin neoplasms) and secondarily by pathogenesis (e.g., alopecia, keratinization disorders).
Regarding dermatology in small mammals, the book includes species such as rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs—animals long embraced by Greek pet owners and for which the authors have substantial clinical experience.
A significant portion of the content is devoted to the “Introduction to Veterinary Dermatology,” covering anatomical and physiological foundations and diagnostic strategies. This section greatly facilitates not only clinical evaluation and diagnostic investigation but also a deep understanding of various dermatological conditions. The book concludes with a comprehensive pharmaceutical guide.
