Summary:

At the turn of the 21st century, veterinarians and veterinary toxicologists are facing more challenges of poisons and poisonings as hundreds of new chemicals enter into the market each year. Consequences of poisonings from around the world are devastating and economic losses are enormous, amounting to billions of dollars each year. Since the scope of the field is very broad, it encompasses a wide array of problems that Veterinary Toxicology addresses. This comprehensive text reference covers the latest approaches in diagnosis and treatment and provides an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of veterinary toxicology. * Discusses both basic principles and clinical applications * Deals with chemicals and plants of a diverse nature, and poisonings that are a result of inadvertent, accidental, or malicious intents * Includes chapters not previously found in other works such as target organ toxicity, FDA regulatory issues, ethics in veterinary toxicology, and many more!
