This is an excellent addition to the short list of available Veterinary Clinical Pathology textbooks. It is a comprehensive compilation of essential information for both large and small animal clinical pathology written in outline form, but with very readable text. I recommend it as an essential textbook for all veterinary interns, medicine and oncology residents, clinical and anatomic pathology residents, and veterinary libraries. It will be a valuable reference for veterinary students and should be added to a veterinary practitioner's library. I compliment the authors on their efforts!

This should be on every practitioner's shelf. It is effective for both quick, thorough reference and for technical explanation - vet students, buy this book. I wish more books struck such a readable balance.

College-level libraries strong in veterinary references at the advanced level will appreciate the second updated edition of Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. It provides in-depth details about common clinical laboratory assays used to evaluate domestic animals and this edition adds additional disorders, diagnostics, images, references and more, covering abnormal lab data, revising color plates to include microscopic images, adding new chapters with accompanying websites, and rounding out the reference's information and impact.

I was lucky enough to take Clinical Pathology in Vet School from Dr. Stockham himself. He is/was an outstanding professor, and the book has proven to be invaluable. I still use it in clinical practice when I get that "stump you" bloodwork, and even just to be clear about how things are working together. The book is an excellent reference for both students (it really explains things very well) and for those in practice (the tables are excellent).

I cannot praise it enough.

Purchased this book for veterinary school and plan to use it for the rest of my life. It is a well organized book and filled with information and differentials for each type of increase or decrease on blood panels/urinalysis/etc. ADEQUATE SHIPPING TIME, PERFECT CONDITION UPON ARRIVAL.

This book is amazing for most things in clinical chemistry. I have been completely happy with it.

This is a great book about vet clinical pathology so long as you're not looking for a basic summary/Cliff's notes kind of book about clinical pathology. This book goes more in depth than that but less than a very technical, bore-you-to-sleep text.

Dr. Stockham teaches at my university. The book is a little difficult to read but it has plenty of good details.
