Blackwell's Five-Minute Veterinary Consult Clinical Companion

“The alphabetical listing is very useful for quick referencing and avoids the need to use the overcomplicated index… As fairy godmothers go she is certainly worth getting to know, and after she grants my first wish and gets a sensible hardback overcoat, she will be a welcome passenger in my car.” (Veterinary Record, 18 June 2011)

“The information is primarily for practicing veterinarians, but students, owners, and researchers might find it useful as well.” (Booknews, 1 June 2011)

“The whole format is excellent with photographs and drawings which really help the reader. The depth of coverage is very extensive, covering all the normal topics and including excellent chapters on foal conditions…. I tried a small experiment with referencing a single rare condition, hypocalcaemia. It took me only four minutes to read a full review of the condition. I tried to get the same information on the internet but gave up with only half the story after 12 minutes. My case rests. Buy this book and it will be useful for several years.” (Veterinary Practice, May 2011)
