The Veterinary Drug Handbook: Client Information Edition
helps veterinarians and pharmacists bridge the drug information gap
between themselves and the people (clients; owners) who are
treating their animals.
Several studies have demonstrated that people receiving verbal
information from health professionals retain very little of that
information once they leave the premises of their health provider.
The information provided in this book will supplement the actual
care provided and help in the task at hand, namely to improve the
health of animals. The authors have included drugs that are
commonly prescribed by small animal and equine practitioners, both
those that are veterinary and "human" labeled
medications. The authors also provide this information in a format
that can be understood by any reader.
The information presented in these monographs will enable the
animal caregiver to be better informed about the medication in
question and to work with their veterinarian and pharmacist on the
journey to positive therapeutic outcomes.
Includes over 150 of the most-commonly prescribed drugs as well
as client handouts describing giving pets oral medications, eye
medications, and transdermal medications.
