Republished for the student market, this standard reference work has been a bestseller for over seventy years. It is an essential tool for anyone with a professional or leisure interest in animal care. Much more than a list of veterinary terms, its practical approach ensures that readers gain an insight into the signs and symptoms of common (and less common) diseases, their diagnoses, and treatment.
For this edition, much new and updated information has been included, and entries on dogs and cats and the conditions that may affect their health have been extended. The reemergence of old problems such as bovine tuberculosis and new ones such as avian flu are among the thousands of topics covered.
