This book is wonderful for those of you who are either getting started in the Veterinary field or if you have been in it for a while but are going to make the change to Emergency/Critical Care. I love it.
LOTS of info March 21, 2010
Holly S Rivney (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA)
This book was required for our AAS tech degree, and it is full of good information. However, I thought the reading was a bit dry, and had trouble staying engaged. It is not the thing you can read at bedtime, it's 100% textbook. It is, however, a fountain of data and more than most of us techs will ever need to know, so you are not shortchanged by any means.
