Always good to have a book like this handy to explain things when you need it. That way you don't always have to bug your vet for every little question you might have and also prepares you to ask the questions that would benefit you the most.

A great reference for veterinarians. It covers a bit of everything, but is not a reference book for in-depth research on a topic.

A great reading tool for every veterinarian (student and non-student) that keeps you informed and reminds you of details you would spend a whole amount of time finding online or in other multiple books.

This book had a lot of Information in it. It is used by some practicing Veterinarians still today, especially those who work with cattle. If you are interested in Animal Health or Cures this is a wonderful book and very informative.

This is an amazing reference that is a mainstay in my library for animal issues. I don't know what I would do without it as a reference.

A general account of diseases and disorders of animals that are commonly seen by veterinarians,including farm animals like cows and horses, companion animals like cats and dogs, and exotics like birds and snakes. Helps to assist in the general understanding certain ailments, their treatments, and their symptoms. Great read for those interested in veterinary medicine, though it can be dull at times.
