This new edition continues to be the classic core textbook for
veterinary nursing students and a useful resource for qualified
veterinary nurses. The edition has been revised and updated throughout
and provides information covering the 'Day 1 Competencies' (D1Cs) and
'Day 1 Skills' (D1Ss), as set by the Royal College of Veterinary
Surgeons (RCVS), and which every veterinary nurse graduate is expected
to meet. This edition focuses on dogs, cats, small mammals, birds and
reptiles. Learning objective boxes, references and further reading, and
self-assessment questions accompany each chapter.
