America's two favorite domesticated pets are dogs and cats. These animal companions often become integral members of the family and whose health needs are of paramount importance to their owners. That is why most veterinary practices treat dogs and cats more than any other class of animals. It is also why "Blackwell's Five Minute Veterinary Consult: Laboratory Tests And Diagnostic Procedures: Canine & Feline" is a critically essential addition to all professional veterinary clinics. An ideal textbook for veterinary students, this superbly organized, 'user friendly', alphabetically arranged, 763-page encyclopedia reference with its focus on medical issues associated with dogs and cats includes all of the basic tools utilized in veterinary practice; diagnostic procedures; tests and treatments; medications; medical follow-up; appendices providing tables of laboratory normal values, therapeutic drug monitoring, and referral laboratories; and a comprehensive index. Also very highly recommended for veterinary student and veterinary clinic reference collections from Wiley-Blackwell is the newly updated and expanded "Manual of Clinical Procedures in Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, & Rodents" (9780813813042, $59.99) by veterinary practitioners Steven E. Crow, Sally O. Walshaw, and Jennifer E. Boyle.
