This comprehensive new edition covers nearly all the major content areas in the veterinary technology curriculum. Written by veterinarians (including many board-certified specialists) and veterinary technicians, it covers common clinical procedures, clinical sciences, animal husbandry, pharmacology, medical and surgical care of small and large animal species, practice management, and more. Completely updated and reorganized for a more logical flow of information, the new edition now progresses from basic procedures to clinical sciences to management of small, large, and exotic species. It also contains several hundred new photographs, helpful pedagogical aids, and many totally rewritten chapters.
New to this edition is a chapter on animal reproduction, detailing the technician's role in assessment, management, and client education. Also new is an expanded chapter on dentistry and rewritten chapters on restraint, necropsy, clinical pathology and microbiology, emergency nursing, animal behavior, oncology, and computer applications. Heavily revised sections include birds, reptiles, and small mammals; anesthesia, pain management, and pharmacology; surgery; and medical records.
