A continous list
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.

Excellent book
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. ... Read more

BEST reference out there for home or for Vet!
I pet-sit and am Red-Cross certified in dog & cat First Aid (which covers generally emergencies only, i.e., CPR, Burns, Seizures, Shock, Chocking, etc.This book covers all of those things INCLUDING treatments for all ailments (excepting a couple that a couple of my Special Needs' cats have, e.g., upper eyelid agenesis and post-surgery long-term care; and Radial Hypoplasia which hasn't really been a problem, but neithe are listed in the book.

I do, however, rate this a 10 star reference book - the print is kinda really small for me so I have to use a big magnifying glass - wish it came in big-print is all.I would buy that up in a split-second.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Merck Veterinary Manual
This is an excellent book, great information.Merck is well known for very informative medical information.Have used many of their books for nursing.My daughter will use if as a reference book for school & to expand her knowledge base.

Superior quality work.
I found the Merck Veterinary Manual to be well written. It uses a type size that allows more information to fit in each page yet allows it to be seen with the naked eye. For the most part, the sections are clearly delineated and the explanations are concise.
All in all, a superior work.

Technical Manual of Veterinary Medicine
The Merck Veterinary Manual is a very technical, well-written manual of animal physiology and disease.To understand the writing you must have an extensive medical vocabulary.This book is not "light reading" but if you wish to have a working knowledge of animals and how they "work", this is the best manual I have read.

disappointment
This book gave me the distinct impression that veterinarians, too, have bought into the Wind-Cold-Damp metaphors that permeate TCM practice.When TCM vet herbal instructors can't explain how these herbs are scientifically working in our pets, and when they also can't assure that the ingredients are safe, I have to ask why vets are being taught and encouraged to sell these products.

I question the wisdom of veterinarians recommending products whose real, pharmacologic activities they know little about, and especially if they think that they are treating a disease caused by "Stagnation" and "Deficiency" rather than a legitimate diagnosis.

Provides specific insights to herbs organized by ailment
Xie's CHINESE VETERINARY HERBOLOGY is edited by Huisheng Xie and Vanessa Preast and provides vet libraries an outstanding alternative, homeopathic Chinese medicine guide for any animal. From history and dosages and pharmaceutical ingredients to clinical applications and side effects, this provides specific insights to herbs organized by ailment and should be a key acquisition for any vet collection. ...

This book is very good for pathology but its very useful in a lot of classes.It contains a lot of good pictures and the information is very thorough.

Great Pathology Book

book is great, but CD is not for Macs!
The book is great, but I really would have liked to have been able to use the CD--it's not compatible with Macs! And no, they don't offer any alternatives. Buyer beware...

Very helpful and easy to understand for beginners!
This book was very very helpful and easy to understand.I would suggest it for anyone entering the field.

worthwhile textbook
As a student required to purchase this textbook, I will acknowledge that it is easy to read and understand.I'm finding it to be a good companion to my Anatomy & Physiology textbook (by same author).Using the 2 books together is very useful.I will keep this book as a future reference.

TERMINOLOGY A VETERINARY SCIENCE MAJOR MUST KNOW
Excellent textbook for those who are planning a veterinary career! I will keep this as a reference forever!

Awesome
Interesting book which accounts for this ancient discipline applied to animals. It is reassuring to know that animals can be healed this way as well!

finally I get it!
Have been taking an extensive course in TCVM and was realy struggling with a few concepts, using this book as a back up to integrate with some Western medicine really helped me "get it"

This is the best book of veterinary acupuncture that I know that it is for sale for the internet.
It is a simple and easy book of understanding, of the way that the students, in the course beginning, need to understand the Chinese medicine, mainly the acupuncture. But for an acupunturista he is also very useful, because it serves as much as a study book and of headboard as of fast consultation, in spite of his size to turn it a little difficult to transport. But I always drop it off at my clinic and I read it whenever it remains a time. Each reading that I do learns a little more. I already possess there is him two years and I still didn't get to read it entirely. It is the book that more has been contributing to my learning as acupunturist. I recommend and a lot to all that are interested in the subject: Chinese medicine and veterinary acupuncture.

A good primer
This is a wonderful text on complementary medical therapies for pets. I highly recommend it and as a fellow holistic veterinarian and author (8 Weeks to a Healthy Dog, The Allergy Solution for Dogs, and the award-winning The Natural Health Bible for Dogs & Cats,) I found the information quite useful.

Loaded with information!
Very thorough book on veterinary acupuncture. It seems intended for veterinarians which may make it hard to digest for the lay person. The theory is very well explained, the chapters on history and studies are informative and the illustrations of points charts are excellent. It lacks on the practical side though. It gives you general knowledge but does not go deep into how to do point selection in relation to your clinical findings.
Overall, an excellent theorical book. ... Read more

good book ...but!
I am an Acupuncture Physician in Florida and I got this book to take care of my dog. This book is not for beginners ..try 4 paws 4 directions for starts.
Following up on the book I went to Dr. Xie's website [..] and wanted to order some herbs for my dog. Simple right? Nope, they would not sell me any herbs because I am not a vet.

So given another chance I would not buy this book. There are other Vet Acupuncture books that are just as good (more reviewed) if not better. I would have not given this guy my money given his position of not serving all his reader

Great Book!
Comprehensive book on acupuncture. This book is pricey, but I wish I would have bought this first.

I highly recommend it.

Xie's Veterinary Acupuncture
I used the book to treat my two dogs. One dog I treated for itchy ears and nasal congestion, and the results were immediate relief. The other dog I treated for mania and hyperactivity with temors and the results were great. I used an energy point stimilator/indicator as I am not a vet or acupuncturist. I found the book easy to read and the illustrations clear. The points recommended for treatment worked well for my dogs issues. I will try to find the chinese herbal remedies recommended as well. ...

I took a gamble - it was well worth it
I am a small animal veterinarian and I have an interest in avian medicine and surgery. I have been looking for a good avian medicine book for a while. I saw this one and took a gamble based on the other reviews and some vague reference to this author from my university years. I am happy to report it was well worth it! I was really impressed with all the information especially the detailed drug formula at the back. This author must have a preference for raptors but it still contains a reasonable amount of general bird information as well. It also has detailed clinical pathology for a number of species of bird at the back of the book - i was not expecting that and that was really good. It is a book well worth buying.

Avian Medicine
I have been a rehabilitator of raptors for 13 years, Avian Medicine is absolutely the best one single source of information I have ever seen. This book covers almost anything a rehabilitator would need to know for thebirds in their care. The color photographs give great examples of almostany avian ailment you will encounter. Many times rehabilitators will have abird with a problem that is not something you see every day. Avian Medicine by Jaimie Samour makes it much easier to identify specific ailments. Thisbook also covers drug dosages, blood chemistry, commonly used drugs andeverything else from incubation techniques to imping feathers. This is amust have for veternarians that are not avian specilists and avianspecilists alike.My vet once told me that birds are an elective in vetschool and she learned all she knows because of her personal interest inraptors. Without her personal interest she would not have acquired thebasic skills to care for these magnificent birds. Avian Medicine willdefinitely be an asset to her and anyone else with a passion for birds andtheir well being. I will recommend this book to all of my rehabilitatorfriends across the country and plan to buy another copy for my vet as aThank You for the volunteer service she has provided to the thousands ofraptors that have come in to our facility.

Love the Color Pictures
This was the first book that I had seen for Avian Medicine that was in color! That was what initially attracted me to this book.I also like the many tables that are spread throughout the book that organize diseases,drugs, etc... I also think that the book is pretty complete in theinformation that it covers.The only problem I see with the book is thatit seems a bit 'regional' as far as the information about specific birds. I had hoped that sort of information would be more diverse instead of justa few species.Other than that I thought it was very good and a nicereference manual to have in your avian medicine library. ...
