What they say:

“…The authors and editors have done an outstanding job of putting in one manual a huge amount of information that will help the targeted audiences better appreciate the theoretic and practical aspects of providing anesthesia and analgesia for cats and dogs.  Anyone who engages in anesthetizing and providing analgesic care for these animals will find that the cost of the book is money well spent…” JAVMA

“…This book would be a valuable resource in any clinic.  It is written for veterinarians but there is an abundance of information that is useful to technicians. The layout of the book makes information easy to find. This book is an asset to any member of the veterinary medical team…” TechNews
