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.

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

Good Practice
These books are helpful and a good way to study for boards. Many people do not know how to approach board review - with these books you can set yourself a goal of 50 or 100 questions per day. Answers includeexplanations so you're not forced to look up wrong answers and try todetermine where got confused. Plus, the actual board exam questions areactually easier than these. A good tune-up! ... Read more

worth the money for anyone interested in rabbit health
I HIGHLY reccommend this book to anyone interested in rabbit health, veterinarian, pet owner or rabbit breeder. I am the latter and found this book to be incredibly useful. One will need a basic knowledge of general biology to get their way through the book. I've raised rabbits very successfully for seven years. After reading this I changed many things I thought i had been doing right but now, thanks to the book, I am getting even better results. Its well worth every penny. I've won awards for rabbit knowledge so I had no idea that I'd learn a thousand times more from this book. i've actually taught our veterinarian a few things as she is the one who recommended the book to me. I've learned the most amazing and useful facts that have worked wonders, and they are the simplest things. Who knew that regular honey had healing properties strong enough to cure my rabbits severe case of ulcerative pododermatitis? he was so bad off the vet thought that i was crazy to not put him down. but I'm happy to say he's very much alive, 4 months later and is able to live an almost normal life. this is only one of millions (I mean MILLIONS) of useful little facts that will completely changed the most skilled rabbit fancier's way of looking at things. this book has saved the life of one of my rabbits and has given me sucessful suggestions for treatments to several other problems that even my vet who is a 25-year rabbit breeder herself didn't know. i urge you to get this book. It really can save the lives of rabbits and teach the most knowledeable person many new things

Textbook of Rabbit Medicine has much good information
Rabbit medicine is a difficult subject to cover.Although our knowledge has increased greatly in the last ten years, there is still much we do not know.Harcourt-Brown does a very good job of describing medical problems that are common in rabbits, and provides information on treatment.She also provides valuable information on biological characteristics and husbandry.Read more

A text found lacking
This text was purchased after seeing a colleague's earlier edition.I liked the thoroughness with which each subject was handled plus I found the illustrations and variety of techniques described invaluable. Hence Ibought the book for my own library. Imagine my surprise when I used my newbook for the FIRST time and found that there was NO section on eyes oreyelid surgery. There was a large chapter on this in the previous edition. How could any text on surgery leave out such an important subject?Theeditorial decision to drop this chapter was a serious mistake. Dogs andcats DO still have eyes and eyelids that require surgical attention! Thankgoodness I had other texts to refer to.Now I have lost faith in thisbook.What will it be lacking the next time I go looking for information?

It's the best choice for small animal surgery beginners!
Everybody knows that Slater'sTextbook of Small Animal Surgery is the best small animal surgery book of the market, but for students and veterinary surgery beginners it may be complicated to read or too expensive to buy. Thus, Current Techniques in Small Animal Surgery may be the best choice as a first surgery book. ... Read more

Laser surgery book-not in depth enoufg

Great basic Orthopedic book for veterinary practice
This test is very good as approaching the basic approaches to K-9 bane pronlems.We perform 3-5 fracture repairs, Cruciate ruputes, luxating patellas, TPO, back surgeries, ect. per WEEK.New graduates as well as senior veterinarians use this test on a regular basis to refresh there skills / knowledge.Nothing new but well presented old knowledge of veterinary orthopedics.A must for veterinary practice not for laymen.If you are not a veterinarian or well versed in veterinary terms, then this is not the book for you. ...
