Arvustused

"Numerous pictures, drawings, tables and algorithms help the reader find the precise and practical information he/she is looking for whether its about the management of difficult airway or chain neutering in a shelter. Judicious advice is also provided for the management of different types of pain and there is also a chapter on euthanasia which is in fact, the final anaesthesia." Vets Today









" an extremely useful book that will be consulted often at many veterinary hospitals. I will certainly recommend it to my staff and students." Emily McCobb, DVM, MS, DACVA, Tufts University, in Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association

"There are good pictures and practical tips throughout, especially in the monitoring chapter, including capnograph traces, key points and tables of normal parameters/ranges to aim for, with good troubleshooting and treatment option tables." Veterinary Record
