This should be on every pet owners bookshelf. It's a fairly cheap looking paperback but the information is useful.

Finally, a useful book for the layman.I was very disappointed in the layout (editing) of the book. The reader must fumble through the book to find tables for medications to treat various conditions. The medical advice is sound and very useful. Revamp the book with an index that is usable.
