This new edition continues to be the classic core textbook for veterinary nursing students and a useful resource for qualified veterinary nurses. The edition has been revised and updated throughout and provides information covering the ‘Day 1 Competencies’ (D1Cs) and ‘Day 1 Skills’ (D1Ss), as set by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), and which every veterinary nurse graduate is expected to meet. This edition focuses on dogs, cats, small mammals, birds and reptiles. Learning objective boxes, references and further reading, and self-assessment questions accompany each chapter.
In case you're starting in Veterinary Nursing, I would suggest you purchase BSAVA textbook of veterinary nursing. It will be difficult to follow from the start, there are terminologies that you might not understand but still searchable on Google.
Excellent resource for canine and feline nurses -- if you study/work with other species, look elsewhere, the amount on other animals is extremely limited.
