Diagnose and determine treatment for toxic exposures in small animals with this quick reference! Small Animal Toxicology, 4th Edition, covers hundreds of potentially toxic substances, providing the information you need to manage emergency treatment and prevent poisonings in companion animals. To help you identify an unknown poison, this guide provides a list of potential toxins based on clinical signs or symptoms. It also includes color plates showing toxic plants and lesions associated with various poisonings. Written by a team of expert contributors led by veterinary toxicologist Megan C. Romano, this point-of-care resource is updated with coverage of essential oils as well as the latest developments in toxicology for improved patient care.
