Black’s Veterinary Dictionary (22nd Edition) – eBook

Black’s Veterinary Dictionary 22nd edition (PDF) has been a bestseller for over 80 years. It is an essential reference tool for all with a professional or leisure interest in the care of animals. Much more than a list of veterinary terms, its practical approach ensures that readers gain an insight into the symptoms and signs of common, and less common, diseases, their diagnosis, and treatment.

For the 22nd edition much new and updated information has been included, reflecting the numerous developments that have taken place in animal care and husbandry, and welfare. There is greatly expanded coverage of topics relating to popular breeds of dog and cat, and the inheritable conditions that might affect their health.

Advances in surgery, medicine, and diagnostic techniques; descriptions of newly identified diseases such as Schmallenberg virus; the resurgence of old scourges such as TB in cattle, and ongoing enzootic infections such as bird flu are included in this new edition.
The growing risk of exotic diseases such as heartworm being imported following the relaxation of travel arrangements for dogs and cats is reflected in new entries. Notes on many new species being farmed or kept as companion animals are among the thousands of topics covered.

Whether your interest is in horses or hamsters, cats or cattle, pigeons or puppies, the A-Z of veterinary matters is covered in Black’s Veterinary Dictionary 22e.
