AWESOME FREAKING BOOK! March 30, 2007
1 out of 19 found this comment useful.
This is my favorite book of all time as I want to be a Canine Cardiologist but buyer beware. This is written for vets to read and understand so I reccomend learning your veterinary terminology well and having a veterinary dictionary. With the aid of the textbook Learning Veterinary Terminology and the dictionary Saunder's Comprehensive Veterinary dictionary I have no trouble reading this book.
If you are a breeder of a breed with a high incidence of heart problems I highly reccomend this book as it will teach you a lot about the care, identification, and management of various heart problems.
And if you are thinking about being a veterinarian I encourage you to become a veterinary cardiologist for either dogs and cats or just dogs. A health screening from a cardiologist is absoutely essential in breeding dogs of breeds prone to health problems but veterinary cardiologists are far and few between which not only creates long drives but a monopoly of sorts that lets them get away with charging insane prices. This, needless to say, is not in the best interest of eliminating congential heart problems from dog breeds.
