Use the veterinarian's #1 reference on general pathology and the
pathology of organ systems! Pathologic Basis of Veterinary Disease,
7th Edition helps you understand and diagnose diseases of domestic
animals by using the latest scientific and medical research. Focusing on
dogs, cats horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, this reference
describes and vividly illustrates and explores the pathogeneses of
animal diseases, how cells and tissues respond to injury, and the
morphology (lesions) of this injury. New to this edition is basic
coverage of tumor, inflammatory, and microbial cytology. Edited by
veterinary pathologist James F. Zachary and a team of expert veterinary
pathologists, this book includes access to an enhanced eBook with every
new print purchase, featuring a fully searchable version of the entire
text, an image collection, and much more - and available on a variety of
devices.
-
Clear, up-to-date illustrations and explanations of the macroscopic
(gross) and microscopic lesions resulting from diseases occurring in
domestic animals

Complete coverage of both general pathology and the pathology of
organ systems that includes the latest research, practice, and
diagnostic information on disease mechanisms, pathogenesis, and
lesions.
-
Clear explanations of disease mechanisms that describe cell,
tissue, and organ system responses to injury and infection.
-
Easy-to-follow organization for each systemic disease chapter
including a brief review of the study of diseases that occur in

responses, helping students apply principles to veterinary practice.
