"The book can be recommended for specialist anaesthetists
and, in particular for trainees in the subject .It may also serve
as a source of reference for veterinary surgeons in general
practice who wish to develop the procedures in their
practice." (The Veterinary Journal, 1
August2013)

"However, none of those books are as concise, thorough,
and dedicated to local and regional anaesthesia of small animal
patients as is this book." (Journal of The
American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2013)

"It will be useful and stimulating reading for any vet in
small animal practice with an interest in anaesthesia, and will be
particularly valuable for residents or those preparing for
postgraduate examinations." (Veterinary Record,
7 September 2013)
