Large Animal Neurology, 3rd Edition, serves as a practical reference for veterinarians, veterinary trainees, and researchers evaluating neurologic disorders in large domestic animals. The volume provides guidance for clinical assessment in equine and farm animal practice.
Organized into three parts, the text outlines how to conduct neurologic examinations across domestic large animal species, including neonates. It addresses presenting clinical syndromes resulting from common nervous system diseases alongside fundamental topics such as neuroanatomy, ancillary diagnostic aids, and pathologic responses.
Full-color clinical photographs and line drawings illustrate key concepts throughout the book, supporting equine and farm animal practitioners, veterinary neurologists, and students.
