This illustrated volume fills a long‑standing gap in American veterinary ophthalmoscopy literature. The book is organized into ten chapters that sequentially cover ocular fundus examination, interpretation, and imaging techniques, with the largest chapter devoted to the dog fundus and subsequent chapters addressing cats, horses, ruminants, pigs, rodents, and monkeys. The book highlights an essential chapter on fundus in experimental drug toxicity for pharmacologic and toxicologic evaluations, and includes a concise concluding chapter on fundus disease therapy.

Ensuing chapters are devoted to the fundus of the cat, horse, ruminants and pig, rat and rabbit, and monkey. "The Fundus in Experimental Drug Toxicity" is an essential chapter for anyone involved in pharmacologic and toxicologic evaluations. The brief concluding chapter on therapy of diseases of the fundus is terse; however, it should be considered as an added feature rather than an integral
