Reviews

"…it serves as a quick and concise review for multiple orthopedic and musculoskeletal diseases…"
—Tisha A Harper, DVM, MS, DipACVS-SA, University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine for Doody's Review Service"This book would be excellent for revision for exams; for veterinary student, advanced practitioner and those just wanting to brush up on their knowledge …No veterinary student (or fully fledged vet) should be without a copy on their shelf."
—Ryan J. T Davis, BVMS, MRCVS

"The book covers all the major feline bone diseases, traumatic injuries and surgeries, with plenty of colour photographs and radiographs. The case-based presentation enables active learning and facilitates use as a revision tool. A reference list (by case number) suggests further reading for those wanting to know more. ... small portable book, useful to those sitting undergraduate and postgraduate examinations in small animal orthopaedics."
—Ellie Marriott, BVSc MANZCVS, MRCVS, in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery
