Summary

The Merck Veterinary Manual is the most comprehensive, reliable reference for veterinary professionals.

This new edition of the veterinary classic has been completely revised and redesigned. A two-column format and use of color throughout make the text and tables easy to read, and for the very first time, color images have been included to enhance and illustrate the text.

In addition to extensive revisions and updates, this edition includes expanded coverage of exotics, new material on zoonoses, and up-to-date chapters on new and emerging topics in veterinary medicine. All 3,000 pages have been updated to reflect the latest advances in veterinary medicine. The section on behavior has been thoroughly revised, and includes the most current information on diagnosing and treating behavioral disorders in dogs, cats, and other domestic animals.

"The 10th edition of the Merck Veterinary Manual continues to fulfill the purpose of being a concise, but thorough, source of information on disease diagnosis and treatment in a wide variety of species. This book continues to be a valuable resource for veterinary students and veterinarians. The changes made to the 10th edition make the book more useful and continue to keep it current." -American Journal of Veterinary Research, March 2011
