Produktbeschreibung

Anaesthesia for Veterinary Nurses has been written specifically for veterinary nurses by veterinary nurses and veterinary surgeons.

In addition to cats and dogs, Anaesthesia for Veterinary Nurses contains detailed sections on rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles, and larger animals.

Suitable for those with or without previous subject knowledge, this book is ideal for quick reference by veterinary nurses and technicians in practice, or for more substantial study by students.

Reflects recent changes to veterinary nursing qualifications, current terminology and drugs in use.
Includes chapters on small mammals, birds, reptiles, and large animals.
Now illustrated with colour photographs.
