Reviews for Duncan and Prasse's Veterinary Laboratory Medicine: Clinical Pathology
The book is modestly priced and is of substantial value to veterinary students, interns, residents, and clinicians as well as those who specialize in clinical pathology. (Journal of The American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2013) In this light, Duncan & Prasse's Veterinary Laboratory Medicine meets and exceeds expectations by providing a comprehensive, but accessible text. This title is included on the most recent ACVP reading list, and, as such, should be considered by all veterinary pathology residents as required. (Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 4 June 2013) This text is comprehensive for the domesticated mammalian species, and provides an extremely valuable addition to the texts available for avian clinical pathology. (Veterinary Record, 25 February 2012) This is surely a book which will prove invaluable throughout your career. (Tomorrow's Vets, 1 January 2012) Links to a companion website provide full reference to all downloadable details in a highly recommended guide for any vet collection.
