Fluid Therapy for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses

“This is an excellent book for veterinary technicians in training as well as those in practice who want to review certain aspects of fluid therapy.  Overall, I highly recommend this book and plan to keep it in my hospital’s library for review. ”  (Journal of The American Veterinary Medical Association, 16 September 2012)

This book offers a very practical solution to the problems and questions related to the administration of fluids: which type, which rate, which route, what are the possible complications and how to deal with them..”  (Vet Nurses Today, 1 April 2012)

“Fluid Therapy for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses provides veterinary support staff with key details on fluid therapy and covers everything from placement to monitoring of intravenous fluid therapies and possible complications. It’s designed for easy use and covers the basics, supporting nursing information with a companion website reviewing questions and answers and providing even more illustrations. Technicians and any administering fluid therapy to animals will find this a powerful presentation and a ‘must’ vet’s reference.”  (Midwest Book Review, 4 May 2012)

“The case studies, along with the questions and answers, enable readers to test their comprehension. Overall, this is a useful book for veterinary technicians.”  (Doody’s, 10 August 2012)“With the ease of use that this textbook offers, I feel that it would be a great resource for any veterinary clinic and can be useful to both veterinary nursing students and experienced veterinary nurses and technicians” NZ Vet Nurses Association, Dec 2016
