The second edition of this book focusing on diagnosis in dermatology is intended to help the veterinarian communicate with pet owners and expands on the content of the first edition with 16 new sheets. The content of the previous edition has also been reviewed and updated as applicable, based on new developments in this specialisation.

This second volume of the pet owner educational atlas about dermatology continues with the goal established on the first work: helping veterinarians in their communication with pet owners. This new work goes even further, as its contents go deeper into the specialty of dermatology and will therefore allow veterinary surgeons to consolidate and update their knowledge.

This illustrated work aims at helping veterinary surgeons to communicate with pet owners. In keeping with the previous volume about surgery, the illustrations of this atlas dedicated to dermatology will simplify the explanations given by vets to their clients about the anatomical, physiological and pathological characteristics of skin, as well as those about the diagnostic tests, treatments and surgical techniques that may need to be carried out in some cases. Every illustration was designed to help in the different clinical aspects of the dermatology consultation, from the anatomical and physiological considerations about the skin and its annexes, to the graphic description of infectious, inflammatory, endocrine, allergic or tumoral disease processes which cause dermatological conditions. The clarity and accuracy of the illustrations, designed to make the explanations given to owners easier to understand and less time consuming, turn this atlas into another useful clinical tool.

The second edition of this educational atlas on dogs expands on its initial goal of helping veterinary surgeons communicate with owners by adding to the content of the first edition with 16 new sheets. Needless to say that the previous content has been revised and updated with the latest developments in each area.
