Published Reviews

"The second edition of Small Animal Critical Care Medicine should be somewhere in everyone’s clinic, whether a first-line practice or a specialized clinic.

First-line practitioners will find that this book allows them to understand the needs of those inevitable emergencies. At the same time this book will also offer a better insight in the extra care that a more specialized centre could provide for, helping first-line practitioners to inform owners and refer their patients. And finally, for those working in larger emergency facilities, this manual offers one of the best available resources to provide optimal care for your most challenging cases."
