5.0 out of 5 stars Veterinary Drug Handbook, December 1, 1999

By 

Dr. K. Longley (Eugene, Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Veterinary Drug Handbook, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

This book is a must have for all practices. It features concise monographs including pharmacokinetics, uses, cautions and contraindications. Also included are doses for multiple species and various brand names. An additional bonus for food animal practitioners is a listing of withdrawl times when available. If you only have ONE pharmacology book this should be the one.

This is the book you want for quick references for the most commonly used drugs in veterinary medicine. Clear pharmacokinetic information and accurate dosing information. Sturdy paperback won't fall apart even with extreme use in the clinics.
