Rezensionen

"Even though I have been practicing for several years, I found tipson diagnostics that I could immediately use at my practice. Thisbook will make a nice addition to shelves, both for those who seebirds infrequently and on a daily basis. It will be used often fordrug dosages and disease rule-outs that you don't want to flipthrough larger textbooks to obtain. Many good facts are in a singlelocation and can be easily accessed between appointments." -Exotic DVM Magazine
