Both small and large animals are used in examples to provide a real life look at the varied cases encountered in the field. Each chapter begins with a "Day in the Life" preview that gives practical application to the text’s theory, and ends with a description of clinical significance. Introduction to Veterinary Science remains a must have text for animal and veterinary oriented classrooms.
