This practical guide synthesizes the types of treatment available for specific diseases. It is a handy reference that provides readers with an understanding of complementary and alternative treatment options for more than 130 common disease states and describes a variety of possible approaches to small animal disorders. Concentrating on nutrition, herbs, traditional Chinese medicines, and physical therapies, the authors present both tradition- and evidence-based therapies for disorders not always responsive to conventional therapies.
- Presents new and alternative therapies with scientific support, encouraging veterinarians explore new therapies with confidence.
- Helps veterinarians develop treatment plans - a vast improvement over large texts that simply introduce the therapies.
- Clearly explains esoteric concepts of traditional Chinese medicine in updated language.
- Practical, user-friendly pocket manual format allows for quick access in the clinical setting.
- Chapters are organized logically by body system and disorders are alphabetized within each chapter.
- Each body system chapter includes a case report that describes the history, physical examination, assessment, treatment, and outcome of a specific patient to further illustrate how to develop a treatment plan.
- Each appendix offers practical backup for designing treatment plans, from homemade diets and Chinese food therapy to oral herb doses and a valuable herb cross-reference table.

"Books aimed specifically at veterinary surgeons and which cover a variety of natural therapies at a professional and concise level are rare. Particularly so books written by such well-respected authors as Susan Wynn and Steve Marsden. Both experienced in their field, Susan Wynn is a member of the American Herbalist Guild and an IVAS certified acupuncture, naturopathy and is both a Master of Oriental Medicine and a diplomate of Chinese Herbology.
Its source material is derived from a thorough literature review with excellent added material gained from experience within their own practices.
For UK-based veterinary surgeons the information on the location and use of acupuncture points in treating a wide variety of conditions is excellent.
This pocket-sized book...is an excellent source of information for any veterinary surgeon with an interest in complementary medicine and should be a welcome addition to the practice library" tim couzens, veterinary times, September 2003
