Joe Anne Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 FYI: For anyone who may be interested. I have a book that was recommended by my vet: Manual of Small Animal Internal Medicine by Richard W. Nelson and C. Guillermo Couto the ISBN # is 0-8151-7297-4 Publisher Mosby, the copyright date of my book is 1999.. there may be an updated version. Anyway.. especially good for anyone with a medical background who wants a very good resource book on medical issues with your pets. Even if you don't have a medical background there is ALOT of good info to be had. I have used my book soooo many times when working with my vet when one of my critters are sick or injured. At the very least, you can learn what questions to ask, and what normal values for blood work etc are. My Vet did strongly advise (warn), me not to use this book to diagnose anything for myself, it does not take the place of the Dr. her/himself!

Shelby Kennels Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Is this a book that would be available at a Books-A-Million or Barnes & Nobles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anne Posted February 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Kim, I am not sure. The web address is www.mosby.com I know I had to special order it through the publisher, but I don't know about the other places. The address of the publisher is: Mosby, Inc. 11830 Westline Industrial Drive St. Louis, MO. 63146 JoeAnne Mirra, Sitka, Phoenix and crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miztiki Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Amazon.com sells it. It's fairly expensive (over $150) but could pay for itself in saved vet bills. I would like to add it to my collection and appreciate you bringing it to my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 You may want to save $150 and reference the Merck online vet manual here: http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anne Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Wow! $150 ... I guarantee there is no way I paid that much for this book. I have the paperback, maybe that is the difference. I've had it for several years, and I am pretty sure I only paid about $50-$60 or even less than that. I got it directly from the publisher, and I wouldn't have been able to afford that kind of money. Check around..I'm sure you should be able to get it cheaper.

kajarrel Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 You might try a price bot to find a better price. Here's one I recommend to my students and use myself: fetchbook.info Make sure to check that the edition listed is the one you're interested in.
