Reviews for Kirk & Bistner's Handbook of Veterinary Procedures and Emergency Treatment

From the perspective of using a book day-to-day as a reference for procedures, it is great Veterinary Record, January 2012 This handbook is designed to provide a wide range of veterinary information in an easy-to-access format. The overall focus of this book is as the title describes, however a large portion of the text is also a resource for consultation and physical examination advice, as well as a diagnostic aid for both emergency and non-emergency conditions...Kirk and Bistner's handbook of veterinary procedures and emergency treatment is directed to the veterinary technician, but is obviously handy reference for the experienced practitioner...if used more extensively will become a valuable resource for refreshing one's basic skill and knowledge in a general or emergency clinical setting. Australian Veterinary Journal, September 2012
