This book provides an understanding of climate change and other contributing factors in the emergence/reemergence of parasitic diseases in companion animals. It describes the known changes in the epidemiology of key parasite infections and highlights zoonotic threats, and is therefore a valuable resource for veterinary practitioners to manage risks and keep abreast of emerging/reemerging parasitic diseases of pets.
How to “jump” in a full-mouth rehabilitation? Are we ready to leave the comfort zone of the “single tooth dentistry”? It is a different world… If we decide to do it. So many questions to be answered… How can we convince the patient to accept a more global rehabilitation? How can we plan the sequences of the appointments without remakes and waste of time? How can we guide the laboratory technician in developing a customized full-mouth project? Can we do first a reversible test drive of the project? The 3STEP has the answers to all these questions. The 3STEP is a non-invasive functional and esthetic stabilization of the mouth.
Diagnostic imaging is a key component in the care of companion animal patients.

Although nasal cytology is still a little used diagnostic approach, it has often proved to be decisive: it makes it possible to distinguish between different forms of rhinopathy – inflammatory from infectious, allergic from non-allergic vasomotor, and bacterial from viral and fungal forms, as well as to diagnose the presence, in the same patient, of various “overlapping” forms. It is also important to consider other important aspects that make cytology a practical diagnostic method, accessible to all rhinoallergology services: the simplicity and low invasiveness of the technique. This book fills a gap given that, to date, there have been no textbooks or atlases dealing with this specific topic.
