The fourth updated edition of Kirkbridge's Diagnosis of Abortion and Neonatal Loss in Animals is a winning reference for determining the causes of abortion and neonatal loss in cattle, small and exotic mammals, and is a 'must' for any practicing vet and many a collection catering to veterinary students ... Highly recommended as a 'staple' for any practicing vet's collection!). (California Bookwatch, 1 July 2012) This fourth edition clearly enhances the previous excellent efforts of the late Dr. Kirkbride. The authors have collaborated to produce an excellent, easy-to-read reference on reproductive disorders. (Doody's, 7 September 2012)
