5.0 out of 5 stars A better version of a great book, June 5, 2000
By Omar O. Barriga (Santiago Chile) - See all my reviews
The Merck Veterinary Manual has been the bible for the veterinary students (and the beginning veterinary practitioners) for ever, and deservingly so. This 8th edition is even better than the previous one. If you don't have a professional library that covers every possible subject in veterinary medicine (or don't have the time to look for ever for a subject), you need the Merck. It has information not only on nearly every disease but also on physical examination and procedures. I learned, for example, that in an X-ray machine mA represented the amount of radiation while the kV represented its tissue penetration. Can you put it shorter and clearer? I can't! It has no references but it is not a reference book. It may be somewhat difficult for the non-initiated but it is for the profesional. All around, a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Merck Veterinary Manual (8th Ed)., January 23, 2000
Probably the best general veterinary reference book around. Although its primary users are veterinarians and vet technicians, it is relatively easy to understand for the average animal owner interested in learning more about the animal's physiology, behavior, management, nutrition, pharmacology, toxicology and general management. Even though most of the book's 2300+ pages deal with domestic animals, it has a few chapters devoted to exotic and Zoo animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book is very thorough., August 21, 1999
By A Customer
This book has everything you need to know about Veterinary Medicine. It is especially helpful if you are a Veterinary Technician and want to become a Veterinarian. You can learn on your own time as with at your job (if you work with animals). I always refer to this book if I do not know what my Veterinarian is talking about or when I see it on a client's chart. It is very easy to comprehend. It would be very helpful to have a Veterinary Medicine Dictionary next to you as you read this book, to look up those terms you just can't figure out the meaning to. I don't have any particular dictonary in mind, though. So, all in all, if you want to become a Veterinarian - you should purchase this "Veterinarian Bible".
