Breed predispositions to disease in dogs and cats

"Many breeds of dog and cat are susceptible to different diseases and disorders. Some diseases are inherited and many more are suspected of being so. Knowledge of these conditions has significant impact on the breeding, management and disease diagnosis of the affected breeds." "For the first time, information on breed predispositions of the dog and cat has been brought together in one single, comprehensive volume. An ideal reference for veterinarians, students, breeders and pet owners, this book contains listings of dog and cat breeds and the diseases and disorders to which they are believed to be predisposed, together with details of the mode of inheritance where known."--BOOK JACKET
