Review

"I definitely recommend this book to those who have an interest in anesthesia and pathogenic conditions associated with it." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, March 2010) "This book is a great reference and training resource, covering all areas in moderate detail, and overall is a useful little book. It would be equally at home on the shelf of an experienced VN seeking to gain advanced qualifications, as that of the student nurse or veterinary undergraduate." (Veterinary Record, May 2010)
