diagnostic samples, and management of a poisoning case, Small
Animal Toxicology Essentials focuses on the most common poisons
encountered by companion animals. From prevention to evaluation,
monitoring, and treatment, the book is a guide for veterinary
technicians to differentiate between significant and insignificant
exposures and effectively manage animal poisonings.
Emphasizing clinical signs, differential diagnoses, and case
management, the book begins with the principles of veterinary
toxicology, such as terminology, history-taking, and
decontamination. The second half of the book is devoted to specific
toxicants, including plants, metals, drugs, and household poisons.
A companion website at href="http://www.wiley.com/go/poppenga">www.wiley.com/go/poppenga
provides review questions in Word and color images available for
download into PowerPoint. Small Animal Toxicology Essentials
is a useful resource for veterinary technicians, especially those
with a interest in emergency and critical care, and veterinary
technician students, as well as practicing veterinarians looking
for an introduction to toxicology.
