Reviews
<p> The real mainstay of this book comes in educating thoseinexperienced in bandage application and I believe it to beindispensable to those studying towards a veterinary nursing orveterinary undergraduate degree. (VN TimesVeterinary Nursing Times, 1 October 2012) This book is a must have for veterinary nurses and technicians. (Tomorrow's Vets, 1 January 2012) <p> <p> The chapter on extremity bandaging is excellent ... Alsoillustrated are body, hip, shoulder, abdomen, and head bandages.All of them clever and innovative by their design. (Vin BookReviews, 2011) <p> This is a concise and complete bandaging reference for smallanimal practitioners. The figures and descriptions provide clearand easy to understand instructions on bandaging, casting, andsplinting the small animal patient. In addition to clear writtendescriptions, the book contains excellent quality step-by-stepphotographic depictions of bandage placement. When compared tosurgery books such as the Textbook of Small Animal Surgery,3rd edition Slatter (Elsevier, 2003), or Small AnimalSurgery, 3rd edition, Fossum et al. (Elsevier, 2007), this oneprovides better stepwise instruction on use of both simple and morecomplex bandages. The quality of its photographic instructions isfar superior to that of these other books. (Doody'sReviews, May 2011) <p>
