| Summary |
"A complete and balanced diet is one of the fundamental aspects to optimizing health and longevity in companion animals, yet obesity in dogs and cats is becoming a major problem. This book provides a comprehensive review of obesity in small animal medicine with clinical application to veterinarians seeking to provide weight management services in practice. With multiple authors from both academic and practice backgrounds, the chapters cover topics ranging from epidemiology and pathophysiology of obesity to evaluation of body composition, and nutritional and behavioural management. The book also explores the role of exercise and drugs in managing obesity, and looks at the management of co-morbidities. Finally, the authors present a a range of case studies to demonstrate these topics in real-life practice."--Provided by publisher |
