It looks at the care and treatment required for all animals, both pets and wildlife, and presents clinical cases using a variety of potential situations the Veterinary Nurse might encounter. Each chapter author is an expert in their field and has an in-depth knowledge and awareness of the Veterinary Nurse's role and responsibilities in today's veterinary practice.
Beautifully illustrated throughout with full colour photographs and unique line drawings, the user-friendly layout helps to make difficult subjects like anatomy and physiology easier to digest.

Comprehensive, detailed, brilliant!
First, a little about me: I am currently waiting to begin my studies in veterinary nursing, looking to expand that into a formal degree at a later stage. My room-mate is two years into being a fully qualified Nurse. We split the cost of this book and both use it.
The book is incredibly comprehensive, covering all animal species you are likely to encounter in practice- their anatomies, behaviours and first aid skills. It covers all practice elements from triage to x-ray to basic pharmacology. There is also lots of information about the social aspects of animal care- issues nurses often have to deal with.
I find this book an excellent start to my studies and it's so interesting I have devoured it cover-to-cover. Admittedly, some sections are a little advanced for me and some terms go over my head but I can grasp the vast majority. My room-mate says this book is a superb companion for when she is in the practice, and not at all patronising for the more experienced nurse. It keeps her knowledge up-to date and is an excellent text to dip into to brush up on rusty skills. And at 800+ pages it's pretty good value for money too!
