This is a very poor text book. This is a first edition and it is full of errors, I wonder how any editor allowed this to hit the market. The the text is very vague and in many cases incorrect. The errors are too numerous to count but here are a few:-Anemia is a condition of low platelet count - incorrect anemia is low RBC count-Ferrets are rodents - incorrect, ferrets are NOT a rodent-Birds have lungs which reside in the diaphragm - birds have no diaphragm, and even then the diaphragm is not a cavity.I am very disappointed in this book.
This book should not be on the market. It is full of errors, totally agree with the other reviewer, Liz. Just because it arrived quickly or is " easy to read" doesn't make the text " Good". This is a very poor text book so full of misinformation I feel badly for the students who use it and then expect to keep a job if this is what is being taught.
I had to use this book for a class, I was constantly having to submit to my instructor the pages and sections of errors in it. I was very annoyed that I was also being tested from this book and if the answers did not match what we were taught then we obviously didn't pass that question. I gave up after a bit and just started using another book that was provided to me by a DVM. I passed my course no problem but I have since never looked back in this horrible book for information, I now just use it to show people that you cannot trust a book for some things. I hope that as I keep furthering my learning in the field I never run in to such a horrible book or at least one that was edited to the point there are not errors every few pages. Over all, if your course requires this book, RUN! If it does not you are making a bad choice just to pick it up... There is nothing good about this, talk to a DVM about a book they would recommend for someone, ask a CVT what books they used, just do not get this one.
I am a veterinary technician educator and my program briefly used this text book for the veterinary assistant program. It is TERRIBLE. I see I'm not the first to comment about all the egregious errors contained within this book. "Ferrets are basically rodents." Absolutely not. Pictures of blood cells are incorrectly labeled - how do you confuse a lymphocyte for a basophil?! The author(s) of this book have a very poor knowledge base of vet med, but what angers me the most is the lack of fact checking they did before publishing it. Shame on them! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
It's good enough for bare basics, but it doesn't go into detail very often at all, or just not explain something entirely. The information can be extremely vague, and the information between species is very unbalanced. Where dogs might get a whole section for one topic, cats will get a single line. I give it two stars just because I am learning things from it. Just not as much as I hoped to.
Is hard to believe this book is actually one of 2 which are required for the Vet Assist course. There are numerous errors from spelling to definitions of animals. Do not use this book on your own without a teacher reviewing with class all errors as you go thru each chapter. It's crazy an editor published this material the way it is. Overall there is alot of useful information contained within.
yes, it gives a good foundation, but I am not in school yet and only bought to get a head start before I take the class. When I do the quizzes I have no answers to see if I truly understand what I am doing when I am home schooling myself.
Pretty basic. If you're just learning about animals then I recommend. easy easy read. If you're looking to buy I would rent instead.
