Overall, the 2nd edition of SAECCM is a very practical emergency and critical care manual. It will be filling the spot in my library where my 1st edition used to sit until someone else also decided it was an excellent book. (Australian Veterinary Journal , 1 March 2013) The book would be useful in practice as a first port of call in an emergency situation, particularly for recent graduates or clinicians facing an unfamiliar case out of hours. ( Veterinary Practice , 1 January 2013) Douglas M. Macintire, et.al.'s MANUAL OF SMALL ANIMAL EMERGENCY AND CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE (9780813824734, $89.99) provides the second updated edition of a classic vet's desk reference covering common emergencies in small animals. From injuries and wound management to new chapters on revisions to treatment protocols and expanded toxicology information, this reflects the latest science and discoveries and is a 'must' emergency vet's reference, arranged in quick consultation format for fast lookup.
