Equip yourself to make accurate diagnoses and achieve successful treatment outcomes with this highly visual comprehensive atlas. Featuring a substantial number of new high contrast images, Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat, 2nd Edition provides an in-depth look at both normal and non-standard subjects along with demonstrations of proper technique and image interpretations. Expert authors Donald E. Thrall and Ian D. Robertson describe a wider range of "normal" as compared to competing books - not only showing standard dogs and cats, but also non-standard subjects such as overweight and underweight pets and animals with breed-specific variations. Every body part is put into context with a textual description to help explain why a structure appears as it does in radiographs, and enabling practitioners to appreciate variations of normal that are not included, based on an understanding of basic radiographic principles.

"Come mai nel terzo millennio, con la maggiore apertura verso i nostri animali domestici, con l'aumento della considerazione nei loro confronti, con l'entrata massiccia di cuccioli nelle nostre famiglie, con la maggior presa di coscienza dei diritti degli animali, con la diffusione della cultura animalista, ci troviamo davanti a un dilagare di problemi comportamentali, di incomprensioni, di difficoltà di gestione, di casi di ribellione, di aggressività (vera o presunta)?". A questa e a numerose altre domande risponde questo libro, diverso da qualunque altro sia stato finora pubblicato. Una passeggiata al fianco di una straordinaria guida, autrice di tante appassionanti storie di animali, per fare chiarezza tra i messaggi contrastanti che ci arrivano dal mondo della cinofilia. Diana Lanciotti, coadiuvata da uno dei più apprezzati educatori cinofili, ci insegna gli errori da evitare e l'approccio adatto per avere al nostro fianco un cane educato e felice e creare una convivenza basata sull'intesa, il rispetto e la fiducia reciproca. Il libro riporta una selezione di articoli tratti dalla rubrica "Parliamone insieme" che Diana cura da anni sulla rivista "Amici di Paco" per aiutarci a migliorare l'intesa con i nostri cani o gatti. Il ricavato è devoluto al Fondo Amici di Paco per aiutare gli animali senza famiglia.

Negli ultimi cinque anni, il traffico dei cuccioli - in particolare da Ungheria e Slovacchia - è aumentato in modo considerevole. I trafficanti li acquistano per 30-50 euro e li rivendono nei Paesi dell'Europa occidentale a partire da 600 euro. Solo in Italia ne arrivano illegalmente circa 8mila ogni mese. Possono avere poche settimane di vita, possono essere privi di documenti e di vaccinazioni di legge. Possono essere malati o avere tare genetiche. Nel business illegale, che si stima generi un affare da 300 milioni all'anno in tutta Europa, sono coinvolti gruppi di trafficanti organizzati. Il libro offre non solo gli ultimi dati di questo traffico legato alla zoomafia, ma illustra le attuali leggi, anticipa i futuri regolamenti che la Commissione europea varerà, dà conto dell'impegno delle associazioni animaliste, delle forze dell'ordine e della magistratura. E affronta, attraverso testimonianze, racconti, interviste, le problematiche che a livello europeo questo traffico illegale sta provocando in termini di benessere animale e potrebbe provocare a livello di salute pubblica.
