I had the first edition; it was very good. This is a different book; much better. Tiny letters, no drawings, 574 pages, information on virtually every emergency you can think of. And good information, right to the point, no words wasted. It reviews 99 emergency syndromes in dogs or cats, 40 intoxications, and emergencies in 14 different exotic pets (including fish). Every item includes at least diagnosis, prognosis , and treatment, and has all the details and alternatives that you may need in an emergency situation. There is a certain amount af repetition but this allows one to use any chapter with complete independence from the others (that is what you want in an emergency). Not all syndromes may be real emergencies, but all need some quick medical response, and this books makes them easier and (I am sure) better. When I face an emergency, just feeling this book next to me is reassuring. Bravo, Signe, you wrote a great book and made a big favor to our profession!
Almost every day someone in the practice grabs this book from the shelf and invariably it contains the information they require. It is practical, accurate and concise - not much point in an emergency book which takes 20 pages to cover each topic! It lives in the real world repeatedly pointing out that it might be advisable to inform clients about cost and prognosis before going ahead with risky and expensive procedures.And there is so much more than emergency procedures in here - lists of drug dosages, brief overviews of exotic animals, fomulae - and every topic in short sharp style.I'll soon buy a new one as my current copy is stuck with tape and held together by an elastic band.Not ten out of ten though - it could usefully be published in a more robust form
This is the same book all us ER vets have. However, upon opening the book I discovered the pages were cheap xerox copies. I can still read everything but it's obvious they spent no money on printing! I called Elsevier Science and they stated that this is a "print on demand book" so they are actually copies made in short order. I am dissapointed that the quality suffered so much, I am going to return this and buy a good copy at the next confrence!
This book represents a milestone for small animal emergencies. When you have a dog or a cat dying in front of you, there is no time for complicated explanations, you need an answer RIGHT AWAY!!! This book -believe it or not- is very fun to read, I read the whole thing in 3 or 4 days. I greatly recommend it !!!
Excellent guide to hundreds of veterinary emergencies. Its format is very compact and organized well, so within a minute or two, you will have some ideas for a diagnostic and treatment plan. The comprehensive index is one of the strongest points of the book, so you are not stuck searching through the book.
I have purchased several reference texts on emergency medicine over the years - this is by far the best - well organized and (quickly)readable.
Great book for an emergency practice or just to review the occasional emergency problem. Definitely worth buying. Also, worth updating from the first edition.
Practical, concise and to the point, easy to find what you need and reasonably priced. Need I say more?
