From the Back Cover

Veterinary Toxicology: Basic and Clinical Principles, Fourth Edition is a unique single reference that provides a comprehensive overview of the basic principles of veterinary toxicology to any student at the DVM, MS or PhD level and continues to serve as a clinical reference for practitioners. While most comparable texts are primarily directed toward the field of human toxicology, this is the one text needed to thoroughly prepare toxicologists and advanced students on the newest approaches for diagnosing poisoning cases in all animals from chemicals and plants of a diverse nature as a result of inadvertent, accidental, or malicious intents. Many chapters are provided on topics not covered in any previous books such as target organ toxicity, radiation and radioactive materials, FDA regulatory issues, and ethics in veterinary toxicology. Completely revised and updated to include the most recent developments in the field animal toxins, toxicokinetics mechanism of action, toxicity, and treatment. Veterinary Toxicology, Fourth Edition is an essential resource for researchers, practicing veterinary toxicologists, advanced students in toxicology, poison control centers, as well as environmentalists, marine biologists, and animal scientists.
