(Vet Med Today, 15 June 2010) "This manual will provide a valuable addition to the practice library, and may well frequently end up propped open in the operating theatre. The main audience will be veterinary students and newly qualified vets, but more experienced practitioners will also find something useful in descriptions of procedures with which they are already familiar." (Veterinary Record, February 2010) "Veterinary students and veterinarians will find this to be an essential, easy to read reference for these procedures."
