A completely revised and updated reference for farm animal anesthesia, sedation, and pain management
The newly revised Second Edition of Farm Animal Anesthesia: Cattle, Small Ruminants, Camelids, and Pigs is a practical and easy-to-use manual for techniques associated with anesthesia and pain management in farm animal species. The new edition incorporates advances in surgical and diagnostic techniques, with the latest drugs and equipment, updated images, and new technique descriptions added throughout the book.
