	AN ATLAS OF SURGICAL APPROACHES TO THE BONES AND JOINTS OF THE DOG AND CAT To order this title, and for more information, click here Fourth Edition By Donald Piermattei, DVM, PhD, Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Surgeons, Professor Emeritus, Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO Kenneth Johnson, MVSc, PhD, Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH Description This well-illustrated atlas provides detailed coverage of the surgical anatomy of the skeletal system of dogs and cats. It's a great learning and teaching tool for small animal surgery that contains highly detailed and clearly labeled drawings of bones and joints. The comprehensive coverage and vivid detail allow surgeons to explore a variety of approaches to fit each unique clinical situation.
