Deafness in dogs and cats

Deafness in pets is a very common problem and is increasingly being presented to veterinarians, as owners and breeders become more aware and concerned about such issues. This book provides complete coverage of the subject describing the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, types of deafness, testing for deafness, methods of amelioration and management, behaviour of deaf animals, and other issues associated with living and dealing with deaf pets.

A great resource for all members of the veterinary profession as well as for pet owners… a well-organized and useful contribution to the veterinary literature.
