Kirk and Bistner's Handbook of Veterinary Procedures and Emergency Treatment 8th Edition

Kirk and Bistner's Handbook of Veterinary Procedures and Emergency Treatment 8th Edition by Richard B. Ford and Elisa Mazzaferro comprehensively covers the management of emergency conditions, as well as hundreds of diagnostic and treatment challenges in small animals. The user-friendly format provides instant access to vital information, making it an ideal resource in emergency situations. Includes a section dedicated to the clinical evaluation of patients using both organized body systems and problems list approaches. It also offers guidance on clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory tests, diagnosis, and treatment.
This book is adequate for emergency medical information, but is not a good quick reference in the midst of a true emergency. In most things, it is quite lacking, and other emergency "handbooks" seem to be more user and cost-friendly.
