Each section of the mouse brain is shown in color stained for acetylcholinesterase, tyrosine hydroxylase, calretinin, calbindin, and 5-hydroxytryptamine. The Nissl stain, thionin, was also used.

One of the best SA Medicine books out there
I love the book. It is an excellent reference for my practice.

Beats Ettinger Hands Down
That pretty much sums it up.This book is a lot more user friendly.Ettinger's is good for those in acedemia.Nelson & Couto is for those in the "real world".

Vet Students Agree
I recently consulted with a group of advanced veterinary students on which of the small animal internal medicine texts would be the most useful to me. For the record, I am an allied health professional with more background in human medicine. I looked at this text and Ettinger's, which--again!--my sources kept referring to as the bible ofsmall animal internal medicine. Ettinger was only about $30 more than this text, and as a big two-volume set, it looked like a better deal at first glance. However,this text is FAR more user-friendly, and there were sections that I read right away out of sheer interest.Unless you are a vet student planning to make a meaningful investment in heavy books, this book is likely to meet your needs and do so in a relatively painless way. ...

Top Book
I am a final year veterinary medical student and this book is fantastic. The procedures are easy to follow and pictures are really great. It reminds me a little of Nelson & Couto (so if you like that one this book is for you!). The only thing thats not very good is the ovariohysterctomy and the castration- were kind of confusing!

Useful surgical text
This book contains excellent descriptions of most procedures required in general practice. Good diagrams and has a better orthopaedic section than other texts. Should be in library of all general practices.

Great book for all small animal veterinarians, buy it!
I have worn out the first edition, which is just under 300 pages.This book is about twice the size but has more than 2X the info because the type is smaller.This is the book I often use daily to get me through poisonings, trauma and more.Each problem has the treatment completely listed, you do NOT have to page back and forth to find drugs, procedures, etc. Buy it, I'm glad I did!

Needed for emergency vets
Great book for an emergency practice or just to review the occasional emergency problem. Definitely worth buying. Also, worth updating from the first edition.

Greene's Infectious Diseases
As a vet student, I purchased this for a small animal medicine course, but have used it for almost all of my classes. It would be an invaluable reference for the small animal practitioner or vet student and, in myopinion, is the most complete source for information of infectious diseasesof small animals currently available. ...

excellent book...
This is the most comprehensive surgery book I have ever seen...I have received this book today and I think everyone who wants to become a good veterinarian especially surgeon must buy this book. Useful very useful...Explanations are good and enough...Thanks Slatter...Arzu Temizy�

Slatter best surgery book
This is definately the best small animal surgery book on the market.I have used it as a new grad and even now as a more "experienced" practicioner.Very good for soft tissue and orthopedic topics, withconcise but thorough explanations of how/which surgical option is best foreach type of condition (fracture type, etc) I'm buying a set as a gift fora new grad!

Invaluable practice reference
Nyland's Veterinary Diagnostic Ultrasound is an invaluable addition to my hospital library.I was initially introduced to this volume as a fourth-year Veterinary Student in Radiology/Ultrasound.After graduation,I made sure to purchase a personal copy for reference in private practice. It is filled with easy-to-understand illustrations of different imagingviews of the heart and abdominal organs.I recommend keeping a copy ofNyland within easy reach of the clinic ultrasound for quick-referenceduring scans.

An almost overwhelming amount of information
If you are one of those people that want to be able to find answers to questions on your own, no matter how technical, this is a good book for you.
Very technical but very useful.
The 4th edition of Small Animal Clinical Nutrition is significantly different from the first 3 editions -- expanded, more information, different editors, different organization, etc. Contributions
Is good to see this book is not just written by nutriologist, there is an important contribution of clinicians dedicated to specific areas. ... Read more

Best in the market
Its definitely one of the best books on reptile surgery in the market if you're into real herping

Excellent Reference for anyone with a reptile/amphibian collection
I have a small reptile collection from which I refer to this book exclusively if any of the herps get sick or appear to be ill.Not all veterinarians know about reptile medicine and surgery so this is a great book for veterinarians broadening their field in animal medicine as well as, those of us who love reptiles.Mader also expresses to veterinarians cost for reptile patients (10% more than for dogs and cats, Dr. Mader states).The photos are in black and white with heavy duty pages that have photos and information based on every order of reptiles and amphibians with basic information about care requirements and do's and don'ts.I highly recommend this book for beginners to advanced collectors as well as, graduate students in veterinary medicine to include veterinarians.It is highly recommended that veterinarians increase their market to herps because herp sales will increase to 400% in the next 2 years.

SERIOUS HERPETOLOGISTS ONLY
I won't recapitulate what you find in the description. Simply put, as a herpetologist who works with, and rescues, crocodilians, venomous snakes, wide varieties of turtles, lizards and snakes I can't do with out this book. Actually I have two copies, one is downstairs with the animals where it has been dropped into turtle tanks and has some very interesting stains on it and the other is in my library. My point is that this book is too useful not to have on hand. ... Read more

A wonderful reference book for all cat owners!!
After continually receiving calls from family & friends who ask me to 'look up' something for them, this year I've begun giving this book as gifts to all my cat-loving friends & family.
Must Have Reference Book
This is a must have.I have the "Dog Owner's" version and refer to it regularly as my dogs age.I learned the hard way to question the vet and become familiar with their diagnosis.There are times when a second opinion is needed and this book has helped guide me in making that decision.It covers a variety of symptons and causes at a "lay-man's" level.It's not too technical but gives you an idea of when you should run to the vet or treat it at home.Every animal owner should have a medical reference book of some sort for their pets since their physiology is so different from ours and there are so many various diseases that only animals get.

Upsetting Pictures
I agree with most of the others who have talked about this book in terms of it's easy-to-read and informative nature.However, I found the pictures of sick kitties very upsetting and it makes it hard for me to use this book.The pictures seem like those you would find in a clinical textbook for someone in veterinary school and while others may find this helpful I wish they had excluded them since they do not seem completely necessary in order to understand the text.I would not have bought this book if I had known ahead of time that it included such graphic pictures.Anyone who is very sensitive to this like myself, be forwarned! ...

Review of Plumbs Vet. Drug Handbook
Very informational. The additions in the back of the book help very much,specifically Therapeutic Class Index. All in all, a fine book especially for the purpose I am utilizing it for, veterinary technician.

Great Resource!
This is a great resource for those of us who own pets with a number of medical conditions/number of medications prescribed.It makes it much easier to understand the medications, potential side effects and drug interactions.I feel like I can have a more educated conversation with my Veterinarian about medications and supplements now that I have this resource.I really like that fact that this book contains information about supplements along with prescription medications!Very useful!
Bigger is better!
When the box arrived I initially thought there must have been a mistake.I ordered 2 copies for my animal hospital and the box was big enough to hold two large city-sized phone books.Upon opening I realized the reason for the oversize box and suspect weight was that the books are considerably larger and thicker, and for good reason.More information (all the latest, of course), and larger typeset (which is helpful for all of us except maybe the newest of grads).Everything else is the same reliable Plumb we have become accustomed to going to for information throughout the day.If there is any problem at all its in that this volume is just a little too big to fit in the same spot in the "reference book drawer" in our pharmacy where the smaller version was kept.Come to think of it, the old Plumb spent most of its time on the countertop anyway! ...

The most used book on my shelf
Whenever I encounter a new disease, or need to refresh my memory about one I haven't seen lately, I reach for this book first.I find it to be concise, informative, and useful.While other medical texts make for good fireside or bedtime reading, this one cuts to the chase, and is useful in the midst of a busy veterinary schedule.
must be on a vets library
very helpful in learning details about diseases and drugs we use.Easy to use the book and easy to understand.Thank you for the opportunity for me to receive this book to Turkey.

Great Resource
I got this book a couple of years ago on the advice of my mentor. This book has really helped me out in school(esp. in my Problem-Based Learning classes). It is pretty easy to understand, is very concise, and it includes many commmon and uncommon diseases of small animals. However, not all information about specific diseases is included. This resource should just be used as a starting point. The formulary is useful, as is the section about diagnostic test results.

Anatomy of Domestic Animals
This book is an excellent soure to study anatomy, diagrams are very clear and there is not much writing however, what is written is useful and written well.probably best used in conjunction with another anatomy book in order to get the most out of it. I would highly recommend this book for any body studying anatomy.

Thank you

Very thorough and comprehensive reference
This book is a very thorough review of the diseases affecting fish. Unlike other texts, this book covers medicine from a taxonomic perspective, grouping diseases by the major taxonomic groups that they affect. One can look up differentials for skin diseases in a certain species without running down the entire list of bacterial, viral, etc. The only disadvantage that I found in this book is that it is not the most current book, and some of the info needs to be updated or more things added.

A one-stop fish medicine reference.
This well illustrated (black & white) text is the most complete single volume reference on the subject of fish medicine and diseases.It iscomprehensive, contains numerous unique and valuable tables, and is amust-have book for veterinarians, aquarists, biologists, and others workingwith diseaes and management of ornamental, game, and food fish species. ...

Just Excelent
This is an excelent textbook of canine and feline cardiology of highest interest for any veterinary clinician (specialist and not) and any student who wants to learn before going to the real world of disease. It is in my opinion the cardiology textbook that is closest to the clinician and to the reality of the needs and manegement of the cardiovascular patient, with the most rigourous scientific literature.

From the masters...
While taking my cardiology class during my second year of vet school, this book came in very handy.Although my syllabus (which was at least the size of this book) provided the same information, Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine provided clearer explanations and illustrations that I could read over and over again. Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine
The book was a welcome addition to veterinary cardiology, filling a gap of over 12 years since the previous major publication.The book is very logically organized, and the pathophysiology is well addressed, and easy tounderstand at all levels from student to specialist.Read more

good for Navle(foriegn graduates)
ithink this is perfect book to get comprehensive knowledge for NAVLE exams,NBVME list of diseases are best discussed in this book i strongly recomend foriegn vets to read this book.
Current and concise
After using many different references for the first half of my internship, this is the book I most often reach for now. The information is as user friendly as the 5 Minute Consult (an improvement here), and more up to date. There are many, many helpful tables and figures,and the addition of a formulary in the back is welcome. While no book can provide all the answers, I find 90% of them in here. My only complaint is the coverage of emergency care could be tweaked. In critical care situations, when I need information regarding a particular emergency in a hurry, this is not the book I turn to first.

a brilliant practical manual, in depth yet reader friendly
A very handy tome of immense value in the stress situation for quickinformation as well as for in depth study to bone up on latest techniquesand those possibly a bit rusty. I can strongly recommend this, it isexcellent value. I would want a more updated model though and hope for anew edition soon--I hope the authors are reading this? ... Read more
