The book has a North‐American perspective.

Skin Diseases of the Dog and Cat: Clinical and Histopathologic Diagnosis. By Gross, Ihrke, Walder and Affolter, published by Blackwell Science in 2005. This excellent and unique book explains the clinical presentation and the histopathology of each condition. It gives clinicians a more thorough understanding of each disease process by relating the macroscopic to the microscopic. The book does not contain information on treatment.
