Editorial Reviews

Review

The book 'gives a very basic rundown of the clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment of a whole range of conditions...all in a compact volume of 783 pages. It provides a very basic veterinary background for the work that nurses are carrying out on a day-to-day basis, giving them a greater understanding of the clinical decision making that goes on behind the cases that they manage.'
Veterinary Times, July 2008

Very Informative and Useful November 28, 2004
By Tab LVT
Format:Paperback
This book was assigned for my Small Animal Diseases class in the vet tech program and it was very helpful. It lists clinical signs, keys to diagnosis, treatments, and client information tips for a variety of diseases of the dog and cat. There are also "Tech Alerts" in bold print that highlight important things to remember about a disease or treatment. The book is easy to read and understand, but not too basic or elementary.
