The book Oncology in Senior Animals shows the neoplasms most commonly diagnosed in animals in the senior age range and describes their most common clinical signs, diagnostic approach, prognosis and treatment. It includes clinical cases.
This book deals with pain in companion animals and how it affects their welfare, health and, of course, behaviour. It describes the difficulties encountered, throughout history, to finally reach the conclusion that animals and humans share the same neurophy- siological mechanisms to feel pain, and what their sensitive pathways are. It then goes deeper into the changes that pain can cause in the behaviour of dogs and cats and the tools available to the veterinary surgeon to control it. Good veterinary practice and professional ethics lead us to try to reduce pain in animals as much as possible. Having a book such as this one can help us achieve this objective.
The number of new technology vaccines available has been increased worldwide, as well as their widespread use in the poultry industry, especially at hatchery level. Therefore, an updated review with practical and visual approach has been developed in order to highlight the importance of hatchery vaccination in poultry farming, whatever the vaccination technique used (in ovo, subcutaneous or spray vaccination), to control the main diseases affecting this species (infectious bursal disease, Newcastle disease, infectious laryngotracheitis, etc.). This handbook has been written by an expert with wide experience in this field. Numerous graphic resources have been included to complement the information provided and make the contents more understandable and accessible to readers.
A vaccination failure occurs when the chickens do not develop suitable antibody titer levels and/or are susceptible to a field disease outbreak. Therefore, an updated review has been thoroughly developed in order to highlight the importance of detecting and solving the major vaccination failures in commercial chickens.
