Excellent book 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

In my opinion, the best veterinary clinical pathology book. Great easy to read format. Consise, but providing more than just the basics. Great cases studies in the back that review topics.

A continous list 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Altough complete, updated and deep covering most of the aspect of clinical pathology, exposition of the matter is done in the list form, like a "things to buy" note. It looks like a student's lesson note and the subject is not treated in the usual way a book does, as say with sensed phrases that correlate one to the next following a logical thread. It is more a manual than a book and it is something that is impossible to read one paragraph after the other, and even harder to remember. Anyway it carries a lot of useful information and helped me whenever i needed.

Editorial Review:

Duncan and Prasse's Veterinary Laboratory Medicine provides the reader with an excellent overview of veterinary clinical pathology. The new edition retains its elegantly simple outline format and section organization (physiology, evaluation disorders, disorders, and appropriate clinical cases). This enables readers to quickly identify key words, ideas and information in the text. Each chapter is followed by a current reference list, primarily from refereed professional journals.

As in previous editions, the fourth edition applies a problem-solving approach to interpretation of laboratory data. The authors stress the differential diagnosis of the abnormal laboratory value, and emphasize the mechanism or pathophysiology of the various abnormalities rather than specific diseases.

College-level libraries strong in veterinary references at the advanced level will appreciate the second updated edition 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

College-level libraries strong in veterinary references at the advanced level will appreciate the second updated edition of Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. It provides in-depth details about common clinical laboratory assays used to evaluate domestic animals and this edition adds additional disorders, diagnostics, images, references and more, covering abnormal lab data, revising color plates to include microscopic images, adding new chapters with accompanying websites, and rounding out the reference's information and impact.

Editorial Review:

This book provides in-depth information about common clinical laboratory assays that are used to evaluate domestic mammals, including what assays measure, sample or assay conditions that affect results, and what results indicate about the physiologic or pathologic state of a patient. Whenever possible, diseases and conditions are grouped by common mechanisms or processes to promote a conceptual understanding of laboratory data that can be generally applied across many species.

New to the second edition are additional disorders, diagnostic tests, illustrations, images, references, and pathophysiologic explanations. This text has proven valuable to students and veterinarians wanting a fundamental understanding of veterinary clinical pathology.

Manual of Clinical Procedures on the Dog, Cat and Rabbit 5 out of 5 stars.
33 of 34 people found this review helpful.

I am a director of a veterinary technology program and this is a required text. It outlines the "how-to-do" of procedures as simple as cephalic venipuncture to complicated procedures such as gastrotomy tube placement. The value of this book lies in the fact that it lists every supply or piece of equipment you will need to perform a procedure and then walks you through it step by step. The illustrations are awesome. This book would be a valuable reference for a practitioner or technician who wants to perform a procedure for the first time or needs a refresher on the procedure.The inclusion of rabbits to this edition is a welcome addition as it outlines procedures likely performed in practice.

Editorial Review:

Completely revised and updated, the Second Edition of this comprehensive text details the basic, in-office diagnostic and therapeutic procedures commonly performed in treating dogs, cats, and rabbits. Step-by-step instructions on restraint, anesthesia, surgical technique, and medical management are provided and include the "whether to" in addition to the "why to" and "how to." The book discusses purposes of the procedures, indications, precautions, possible complications, equipment needed, and preparations. Superb line drawings of procedures explicitly demonstrate operational motions as well as pertinent anatomic relationships.

Depends on your background 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book was required reading for a class and very hard to get through. I read a lot of dry materials but this was more like a "teaching story." That being said, other people in the class loved it but did not like when the "science part" was explained and just wanted the story. Helpful for people who have little exp. with working with families but just another case study for everyone else.

Editorial Review:

This is the publication professionals and future professionals turn to for detailed information on pathology and parasitology in veterinary medicine. It features clear-cut descriptions, case studies, and methodologies experienced in the practical setting. Veterinary professionals and those in the animal, equine, dairy, and poultry fields will benefit from explanations about technical procedures, parasite life cycles, zoonotic potential, diagnosis, and treatment. A review of current literature provides valuable background, and the accompanying CD-ROM Image Library features extensive color images of parasites and various pathologies.

Editorial Review:

This work, a compilation of all known information on parasites diseases of the wild mammals of Florida, is significant because it is one of the few studies in which such data are arranged by host rather than by disease agent. Florida's rich mammalian fauna is made up of 96 species, 85 of them native and 11 that have been introduced into or have expanded their ranges into the state. The book contains information on the disease agents, natural elements, chemical contaminants, and environmental conditions that either can or do influence the health and diseases of 61 native and 8 nonnative species, including such endangered mammals as the Florida panther and the manatee. The work also deals with the public health considerations of diseases transmitted between humans and domesticated animals. Though some of the information comes from published literature, a significant portion of it was culled from personal files, notes, and reports of numerous individuals and organizations. A major reference work, "Parasites and Diseases" should be an essential resource for mammalogists, population ecologists, veterinarians, epidemiologists, entomologists, parasitologists, microbiologists, pathologists, wildlife biologists, and all others who make management or conservation decisions about Florida's fragile environment.

A good book for some 2 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I would recommend this book to some students of veterinary science and veterinary pathology, but it is hard to keep pace with such a rapidly changing field - and in some sections, this book hasn't even tried. Glaring errors and out of date references are present in some sections (e.g. the section on Swine Influenza does not mention the zoonotic potential of the virus or its presence in avian species). Other sections contain information and figures which are hard to obtain elsewhere. Use this book - but with caution.

Editorial Review:

This is the latest edition of the standard in comparative pathology, used by practitioners and students alike as a comprehensive yet understandable resource. Rigorously revised, the sixth edition introduces a wealth of new information on immunopathology and pathogenesis, viral diseases, environmental toxins, parasitic diseases, and nutritional problems in domestic and captive animals. Approximately half of the information presented is new, as are about 200 illustrations. Plus, the text's presentation is improved, with a larger format, and a more reader-friendly design to appeal to students.
