I pet-sit and am Red-Cross certified in dog & cat First Aid (which covers generally emergencies only, i.e., CPR, Burns, Seizures, Shock, Chocking, etc. This book covers all of those things INCLUDING treatments for all ailments (excepting a couple that a couple of my Special Needs' cats have, e.g., upper eyelid agenesis and post-surgery long-term care; and Radial Hypoplasia which hasn't really been a problem, but neithe are listed in the book.

I do, however, rate this a 10 star reference book - the print is kinda really small for me so I have to use a big magnifying glass - wish it came in big-print is all. I would buy that up in a split-second.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This is an excellent book, great information. Merck is well known for very informative medical information. Have used many of their books for nursing. My daughter will use if as a reference book for school & to expand her knowledge base.

I found the Merck Veterinary Manual to be well written. It uses a type size that allows more information to fit in each page yet allows it to be seen with the naked eye. For the most part, the sections are clearly delineated and the explanations are concise.
All in all, a superior work.

The Merck Veterinary Manual is a very technical, well-written manual of animal physiology and disease. To understand the writing you must have an extensive medical vocabulary. This book is not "light reading" but if you wish to have a working knowledge of animals and how they "work", this is the best manual I have read.
