3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new, December 9, 2001

This review is from: Kirk and Bistner's Handbook of Veterinary Procedures and Emergency Treatment, 7e (Paperback)

Thic book is adequate for emergency medical information, but is not a good quick reference in the midst of a true emergency. In most things, it is quite lacking, and other emergency "handbooks" seem to be more user and cost-friendly. Although this book is part of my library, I found little use for it when I worked as an emergency small animal veterinarian.
