Summary: Ok...But not Great
Comment: I am in school to become a registered veterinary technician so this book was a requirement for our Pharmacology class. The first three chapters in this book are absolute Gold as far as information goes but the rest is really lacking. Many of the common veterinary drugs covered in my class were not even in the book so I had to go elsewhere to find all the information I needed. Although the drugs that were covered were covered well and in a friendly layout, the drugs they didn't include really diminished the usability of this book. A real disappointment as far as textbooks go in my opinion.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: This book is awesome! It has provided me with so much knowledge of drug uses, interactions, reactions... etc. Working in a vet's office this book has been a great help to me. It talks at the veterinary technicians level, as opposed to reading a lot of information that just goes right over your head. It is geared from the nurses point of view and is organized into easy to find categories, with all the similar drugs listed near it, along with possible interactions/reactions. A must have for the vet tech!
Customer Rating:
Summary: This book is a very good pharmacology reference!
Comment: I found this book very helpful for me while I was in school and while in practice. The only thing that I had a little trouble with is cross referencing the trade names of the drugs with what was listed in the appendendix. Otherwise it is an excellent book!
