Review

The second edition. The manual is for small animal emergency and critical care. Each chapter is written by veterinary technician specialists from around the world who have a unique and accurate perspective of what technicians in the field of ECC need and want to know. There is a new issue of javma on mar 15, 2019. 6 The library of books focuses on small animal emergency and critical care. It covers a wide variety of topics, including compassion fatigue and burnout. This update has several new chapters and expanded sections on individual diseases, and the book is more practical than others I have read. I would recommend it to other veterinary technicians. Doody’s book review was published in April.
