Synopsis:

This second edition is in response to the acceptance of the first edition and the continued need for such a book for both veterinary students and large animal practitioners.

The purpose of this book is to present some fundamental techniques in large animal surgery to both veterinary students and large animal practitioners. It′s designed to be brief, discussing only the major steps in a particular operation, and each discussion is accompanied by appropriate illustrations. Most of the techniques presented can be performed without the advantages of a fully equipped large animal hospital or teaching institution.

All of the drawings in the book are original and based on rough sketches and photographs taken at various points during actual surgery.

Review: "The Third Edition of this classic surgery text is the ideal resource for veterinary students and equine and mixed large animal practitioners". (UK Vet Livestock, 1 November 2010)

"Essential to covering the basic techniques of any large animal surgery... packs in illustrated, step–by–step techniques for a range of domestic animals. From color illustrations, black and white diagrams and sketches, and equipment lists to descriptions of surgery indicators and new sections on minimally invasive surgery options, this is a technical vet′s handbook no animal surgery student should be without." – Midwest Book Review

The ideal resource for veterinary students and equine and mixed large animal practitioners. The book can be used both as an introduction to the fundamental techniques of large animal surgery and as an easy–to–use guide for quick reference in the field. The step–by–step technique sections have been restructured to allow faster access to information . A valuable resource for veterinary students with a particular interest in large animal surgery and veterinary practitioners with a significant large animal caseload. – Doody′s Reviews
