"There are books that cover basic clinical approaches or provide a
quick reference guide but for some time there has been a gap on the
bookshelf for up-to-date, comprehensive, authoritative book...The
book is mammoth and replete with high-quality with high-quality
colour diagrams...Was it worth carrying this hefty tome with me
each day? Absolutely- it clearly conveys information that is
not found in other textbooks, along with a good distillation
of current knowledge in a reader-friendly format."
Veterinary Record, October 2012
"Canine and Feline Gastroenterology is a comprehensive text of over
950 pages covering diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well
as the pancreatic and the hepatobillary systems...Canine and Feline
and Gastroenterology serves as a must-have reference for both
generalist and referral practitioners, as well as postgraduate
students with a particular interest in the discipline of veterinary
gastroenterology. It is a valuable resource, which I will continue
to use in both clinical and research settings, as well as for
preparation for specialist exams, and is a worthwhile addition to
the practice library."
Australian Veterinary Journal, February 2013
"Wow! What a nice book! Of course the authors' reputation is a good
enough reason to want it but the impressive list of contributors
can only reinforce my first impression: there is a lot of work and
good science in its 996 pages. In fact, serious general
practitioners and specialists alike will find all they need to know
about the GI tract...The excellent authors finally put to bed myths
such as 'nil per mouth' in the case of acute pancreatitis. Almost
half of the book is taken up by the diseases of each organ which
are thoroughly dealt with and of course there is an impressive list
of reference. Got the message? This is a must!
