Summary:
"This Guide combines high-quality imagery and illustrations, access to a suite of procedural videos and clear, comprehensive step-by-step techniques to provide an essential resource for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in small animal practice. All procedures have been fully reviewed and updated, and four new procedures have been added, including cystostomy tube placement, endotracheal intubation, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and wet-to-dry dressings. With alphabetised procedures, clear layout and references to further information, the third edition of the Guide is a valuable reference for vets, vet nurses, graduates and experienced clinicians alike"-- Provided by publisher.
