"The text is well organized and thoroughly researched and
referenced.. . . this book is highly recommended for small ruminant
practitioners as well as for anyone who works with goats" (Vet Med
Today, 15 June 2010)

"The second edition of Goat Medicine is the enhanced and
updated version of the original, invaluable resource. The text is
well organized and thoroughly researched and referenced. Special
effort was made by the authors to address goat health issues
relative to tropical and subtropical climates. This, as well as
inclusion of extensive information on foreign animal diseases,
makes this text an extremely useful global reference. The
authors' personal experiences, combined with results of a
thorough search of the veterinary literature, have resulted in the
most comprehensive references on goats currently available. This
book is highly recommended for small ruminant practitioners as well
as for anyone who works with goats." (JAVMA, June
2010)

"This much-needed second edition is of the highest quality.
There is an increasing interest in goats in North America, and,
worldwide, goats are of great economic and social importance. This
book will be used by goat practitioners and others as the bible for
goat medicine." (Doody's, March 2010)

"This textbook presents a great deal of scholarly information."
(The Veterinary Record, February 2010)
