I am a second year veterinary student. My roommate bought the standard anestesia text-Lumb and Jones and I bought Muir. We both ended up using Muir because it is much more comprehensive at this level then Lumb and Jones (which is an excellent reference but a bit overwhelming for an introductory anesthesia course). In my experience Muir had all the necessary information laid out in an easy to read format, as well as lots of charts which helped to pull everything together.

Overall this is a very well written text on anesthesia in the veterinary field. A fantastic resource both for students and those that have been in practice for many years. It covers the basics like mechanisms of actions of the anesthetic drugs utilized, as well as chapters that focus on pain management in the perioperative period. It doesn't just focus on small animals, either, there are very thorough chapters on large animal anesthesia.

This book is a excellent resource for our Practice.(mixed Practice). It has really good, easy to find information. All the species that we deal with are covered and all types of anaesthesia from local and regional right through to general anaesthesia. This book is useful for new clinicians and those with lots of experience. There are lots of different options for anaesthesia so you aren't limited to what you've always done. I think this is a very handy guide to have on your Practice shelves.

This book is a fantastic reference for all species. Horses, ruminants, swine, cats, dogs and exotics they are all covered in this reference. It was an excellent resource for my anesthesia exam and it answered all the questions that came up when I was studying. I will use this for years to come.

This book is small and compact so you can carry it anywhere. It explains enough without being overly boring and excessive. Very Good Book to keep for a long time
