Understanding and Managing Spinal Diseases in Animals

By Cristian Falzone, Ludovica Dragone

Spinal diseases and spinal cord injuries are common in animals and can have severe and disabling consequences. The initial approach and correct clinical classification are crucial for achieving the best prognostic outcomes; with this criterion in mind, the authors have chosen to address vertebral pain in a simple and clear manner, aiming to meet the needs of non-specialist veterinary doctors to the fullest. Surgical therapy is not always the most indicated approach to tackle disc hernias, trauma, and myopathies, which are the most common causes of acute and chronic vertebral pain. Today, an integrated therapeutic approach between neurology and rehabilitation medicine is emerging, which is highly beneficial for the animal’s wellbeing and which the authors make applicable to clinical diagnostics for all veterinary doctors. In spinal diseases, it is very important to obtain the owner’s cooperation; to this end, the book is rich in advice and suggestions for managing different cases that the veterinarian can recommend to owners.
