"Acid-base could be considered the Marmite of veterinary medicine;
you either love it or hate it! This book cannot guarantee to
convert you to a fan of acid-base and fluid balance, but it will
certainly enlighten you. This is the fourth edition of what many
consider to be the definitive work on fluid, electrolytes and
acid-base disorders in dogs and cats; it is an invaluable reference
book for clinicians...For those in possession of the third edition
of the book, this fourth edition, on first presentation, appears
remarkably similar. On closer inspection, the addition of more
recent references to all chapters offers an added bonus that will
cheer individuals with a specific interest in this field of
veterinary medicine...This book will offer all practices something!

"DiBartola's fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorder in small
animal practice has long been a vital resource for the small animal
practitioner and the 4th edition affirms is position...this book is
a valuable addition to the practitioner's library. It contains
useful and accurate information, is generally well written and
comprehensively covers a range of issues regarding fluid therapy
and small animal medicine...the latest edition provides some
additional information and clinical updates over the third edition.
These include contemporary therapies such as vasopressin
antagonists in conditions such as cardiac and liver failure."
Australian Veterinary Journal, July 2012
"Fluid therapy is considered by many to be the major life-saving
advance of the last century, and yet the majority of veterinary
surgeons and veterinary nurses have a very limited understanding of
the factors underlying its use....Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base
Disorders in Small Animal Practice has, for many years, been the
gold standard textbook used to explain these concepts...the book
provides a huge amount of in-depth information and will remain 'the
bible' of textbooks on fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders
for small animal practice...For those who do not have access to one
of the older editions and have more than a passing interest in
fluid therapy, there is certainly sufficient information contained
in this 4th edition to justify its purchase." Journal of Small
Animal Practice, January 2013
