The Lymphatic System of the Dog

Your Essential Guide to the Canine Lymphatic System

This book is a comprehensive investigation of the anatomy and drainage patterns of the canine lymphatic system, based on a classic 1918 work. Much of the original exhaustive research has not been repeated and is still relevant today, making this an invaluable resource for veterinary students, teachers, veterinarians, and researchers.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Organization: The book is organized into two main sections: the first details the anatomical location and drainage pathways of lymph nodes, while the second describes the lymphatic drainage pathways of major organs.
• Clinical Relevance: The information is applicable to the diagnosis and treatment of canine patients, as well as to researchers investigating the lymphatic system in dogs and in humans.
• Modern Enhancements: In addition to translating the original work, a team of faculty and students has added notes describing key clinical points, as well as interactive student learning tools, including flashcards on lymphatic drainage patterns in canine cancer patients and lymph node labelling exercises.
• Historical Legacy: The goal in translating this textbook was to honor the legacy of a classic work and to make this valuable information freely accessible to a new generation of professionals.
