"Fracture Management for the Small Animal Practitioner ... contains detailed images and descriptive paragraphs, which are especially beneficial as references for orthopedic bandage placement. The book also contains many insightful suggestions, techniques, and other tidbits for improving the clinical outcome for small animal patients with fractures.... I recommend this book as a simple and rapid reference for practitioners who desire guidance on stabilizing acute fractures, addressing owners' expectations, understanding when referral to an orthopedic specialist is and is not necessary, and assisting owners with providing follow-up care during recovery." - JAVMA, Mar 15, 2020, Vol.256, No.6
