However, introductory books on general pathology, the starting point for the study of pathology, are not so readily available. This is one of the first books on general pathology for veterinary nurses and those new to the subject. It builds on knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry gained elsewhere to explain the fundamental pathological changes that occur in the sick animal. The book enables thereader to gain an understanding of the effects of various disease processes encountered in veterinary practice, and be able to relate these to clinical presentation, diagnosis and prognosis, and to treatment rationales.
