Vetdiagnostix Laboratory Manual (2nd edition), R.D. Last, J.M. Hill, J.H. Vorster, S.J. Bosch and C. Griffiths (contributors) : book review

The 2nd edition of the Vetdiagnostix Laboratory Manual has just been released.Weighing in at 3 kg, this 412-page comprehensive diagnostic laboratory guide is lavishly illustrated with in excess of 1500 full-colour images. Species covered include canine, feline, bovine, small ruminant, porcine, equine and exotic avians. The title is somewhat misleading, as the manual is not restricted to laboratory techniques, but takes a systematic, practical, step-bystep approach to collecting suitable specimens and interpreting results.
