The authors of this 591-paged book collaborated in order to provide information on multiple aspects of canine and feline seizures and epilepsy such as pathophysiology, classification, aetiologies and differential diagnoses, epidemiology, diagnostic investigations and emergency and maintenance treatment. Mechanism of action, metabolism and pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetic interactions and adverse reactions, dosing, monitoring recommendations and efficacy of old and new generation antiepileptic medications are presented in detail. The book consists of 25 chapters and includes a glossary on pharmacological terminology at the end of the book to help redears understand this particular subject area. The authors hope that knowledge of this complex subject would aid veterinarians to improve the care of dogs and cats with seizure activity. This book is designed to help veterinary students, veterinary general practitioners, as well as veterinary interns, residents and specialists in neurology or in disciplines related to neurology (e.g. internal medicine, oncology, surgery, behavioural medicine and pharmacology).
