Customer Reviews

Thank you

The communication was great and the item was shipped as soon as you received it. Thank you so much.

A quite adequate book for its purpose

This book is thin but packs quite a bit of information for its intended users. The intended users are obviously veterinary students who are starting doing physical diagnosis and clinical procedures, or veterinarians who are coming back to the clinic after many years away. It does not contain ALL the methods or procedures but the commonest, and for the most these are very well explained, with abundant and appropriate axamples. It is a bit uneven, however: the background information on anatomy and the ophthalmic examination are particularly complete but the neurologic examination is too superficial for my taste. A worth book, however.
