5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, February 3, 2009

This review is from: Veterinary Laboratory Medicine: Interpretation and Diagnosis (Paperback)

This is an excellent book- it has even been adopted as the official textbook for the national veterinary board examination for clinical pathology. I had the privilege of working with both Dr. Harvey and Dr. Meyer while at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of the UF School of Veterinary Medicine as a veterinary technician, and feel they are ultimately qualified to write on this subject. This book has been translated into Chinese as well. Not an easy feat, but I think it shows how much this book is valued here and abroad.
