Reviews

"This will make an excellent addition to the library of small animal veterinarians. It has numerous images, including pictures, diagrams, algorithms, radiographs, ultrasound and echo images, treatment tables, and ECG rhythm strips. This edition is appropriately updated and includes significant new material."-Maureen McMichael, DVM, DACVECC(University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine) Doody Review: 4 stars "The many tables, decision trees, drawings and photos highlight the key points which make for a very pleasant read. I bet that the previous edition of this major textbook is a bit dog-eared and so now is the time to invest. ROI* guaranteed. (*Return On Investment)" Reviewed by: Vet's Today Date: July 2014 "As a reference textbook for use on a day-today basis I would highly recommend this book. It lives up to its promises and really is a 'practical, easy-to-use, quick, clear and logical' text book for practitioners and students alike." Reviewed by: Veterinary Record Date: June 2014
