This book is a must have for all practices. It features concise monographs including pharmacokinetics, uses, cautions and contraindications. Also included are doses for multiple species and various brand names. An additional bonus for food animal practitioners is a listing of withdrawl times when available. If you only have ONE pharmacology book this should be the one.
Good information on extra-label uses of animal and human drugs for veterinary medical professionals. Lists dosages for large, small, and exotic species. Well organized and easy to use. A great value.
This is the book you want for quick references for the most commonly used drugs in veterinary medicine. Clear pharmacokinetic information and accurate dosing information. Sturdy paperback won't fall apart even with extreme use in the clinics.
I've had every edition of this drug handbook for about 10 years now, and I use it often. I've seen lots of "other" veterinary drug handbooks, but they pale in comparison to Plumb's. There's just the right amount of information here--not too much, not too little. Other handbooks seem relatively lacking in content.
If you are familiar with this book, this is just the latest update, so go and buy it. If you are not, you have been missing one of the best helps that a veterinary practice may have. It is simply a collection of monographs of 90% or so of the most used drugs in a veterinary hospital (YOU will have to get the other 10% and, I assure you, it will take plenty of your time). They include everything that a conciencious veterinarian wants to now, and then a little more. The language is simply enough for any professional to understand even if one's chemistry and biochemistry is a bit rusty. What are you doing reading this? Go and get it; your patients and you need it!
I am a senior veterinary student and use this constantly on clinics. Its very helpful to look up medications that animals are already on and possible interactions with drugs you want to prescribe. Has drugs listed by generic and manufacturers names so they are quick to look up.
I'm giving this book a 5 star review only because it was so hard to find. We needed it for a court case after a veterinarian used this 1999 book to miscalculate a dose of medication for our cat causing blindness.The Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbooks are the go to books for professionals. They just usually use the current one.
I do cat rescue and needed a detailed reference book on veterinary medications. I asked my veterinarian what book she recommended and she said that this was the best book by far. She prefers it over other medical textbooks that costs hundrends of dollars. I purchased this book and use it all the time now. It has helped me resolve medication related questions in emergency situations. This book has more than paid for itself in the $$ is has saved me in veterinary bills. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs access to information on veterinary medications, especially when it's a night or weekend and I cannot contact my veterinarian. This is a must have book for anyone who works with animals.
