Reviews
"A must for every surgeon willing to go beyond the simple removal of a lump!." ( Vet Nurses Today , 1 January 2013) "It is a welcome addition to my bookshelf and I would recommend it to others without hesitation." ( Veterinary Record , 16 February 2013) "This book is highly informative and an excellent aid to practicing surgeons. The quality and completeness of the information is unparalleled in the veterinary textbook literature. The book excels because of its inclusion of previously neglected conditions, the handy and applicable summary of published recommendations for treatment, and the quality and quantity of detailed illustrations demonstrating surgical technique." ( Doody's , 4 January 2013)
