Overview

Following the success of the first edition, this Manual has been completely updated and reorganized to be even more practical and user-friendly. It follows reproductive medicine from mating, through conception and birth, looking at problems such as infertility and dystocia along the way. Care of the neonate plus conditions that may affect new puppies and kittens are also included. New developments in drugs and in biotechnology are discussed. Full colour photographs and illustrations support the text, which has been prepared by international contributors.

This book would be most advantageous to have on hand in any kind of veterinary practice as the information is useful to veterinarians and veterinarian technicians alike. Many of these issues can be encountered at any point in an animal's life, so is a good reference to have on hand would be most beneficial. Included among the text are great pictures of many of the problems, great tables of normal lab work ad time sensitive diagnostics. The references available at the end of each chapter steer the reader to more research if desired. ( The Vin Book Reviews , 1 December 2012) As the title implies, this up-to-date manual is an informative and practical guide to canine and feline reproduction and neonatology. It would be a useful addition to the library of any practicing veterinarian. (JAVMA, 1 October 2011) This book is accessible to veterinarians, veterinary nurses, students and breeders, and will not stand unread on any bookshelf. (Veterinary Record, 9 April 2011)
