Canine and Feline Surgery – First Edition. Volume 1 - Abdomen. Edited by Various Editiors.

Beside being completely revised, the former Canine Surgery book had been changed in 2 other important ways. It has been expanded to include surgical procedures that apply specifically to the cat. This change seems logical in view of the fact that most veterinary surgeons treat both dogs & cats, and some procedures are performed in only 1 of the 2 species.

The publication of this book as 3 separate volumes is another noteworthy change. It solves the problem of unwieldiness related to the book's size and it provides the specialist the opportunity to purchase the volume(s) that deals with his or her special interest.

The volume includes descriptions of surgical conditions of structures within the abdominal cavity and appended to the abdominal wall & perineum. The procedures favored for their repair are now illustrated with drawings that have largely replaced the less satisfactory photographs.
