Veterinary Technician's Daily Reference Guide: Canine and Feline, Third Edition provides a quick reference to all aspects of a technician's daily responsibilities in clinical practice. Retaining the tabular format for easy access, the Third Edition adds more in-depth skill descriptions, allowing the technician to reach an even higher level of care. Coverage ranges from anatomy and preventative care to diagnostic and patient care skills, pain management, anesthesia, and pharmacology.
Now fully revised and updated, the book is designed to build on a veterinary technician's current knowledge, acting as a quick refresher in the daily clinic setting. A companion website offers forms and worksheets, training materials, review questions, vocabulary flashcards, links to online resources, and the figures from the book in PowerPoint. The Third Edition is an invaluable practical resource for increasing confidence and improving technical skills for veterinary technicians.

"Veterinary technicians will find this book to be a very good quick reference, and as such, it warrants purchase by any small animal practice. Veterinary technician students will also find it a useful resource." (JAVMA, 15 December 2014)
"Overall 'Veterinary Technician's Daily Reference Guide' lives up to its title; it is a quick reference guide to dayto-day procedures and techniques used within a busy veterinary practice.
