Summary:

Primarily intended for veterinary medical students, Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics provides a comprehensive resource for students learning basic and applied principles of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics. Including expanded coverage of pharmacology and considerable revision of existing material, the eighth edition is THE DESKTOP REFERENCE for veterinary practitioners to review details about drugs, drug mechanisms, and their clinical applications. Because of the ever-growing breadth and complexity of drug usage in animals, this text has considerable new information on basic pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, as well as their clinical applications
