"This is a great addition to the library of books focusing on small animal emergency and critical care. It is comprehensive and thorough, covering a wide variety of topics, including compassion fatigue and burnout. The book is more practical than others I have read on this topic, and this update has several new chapters and expanded sections on individual diseases. I would highly recommend it to fellow veterinary technicians, especially those studying for boards." Doody's Book Review, April 2019
