Jennifer Coates, DVM, graduated with honors from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. She worked as an associate veterinarian and chief of staff in Petersburg, Virginia and now practices in Colorado,where she is often praised for her ability to communicate with clients and staff.
Prior to graduating from veterinary school, Jennifer worked as a veterinary receptionist, assistant, and technician. It was then that she became aware of the frustrations caused by veterinary jargon. Pet owners were confused and upset by their lack of understanding. Receptionists were unable to answer client's questions. Technicians had trouble deciphering medical orders. Animal owners, veterinary support staff, and animal care workers needed a clear and concise resource to explain terminology in plain English. The skill and knowledge gained through years spent immersed in all aspects of veterinary care gave Jennifer an exceptional perspective from which to write the Dictionary of Veterinary Terms.
Author Coates, a veterinarian, designed this dictionary of veterinary terms for animal owners and those who work in the veterinary field to assist with the common question, “What did the vet mean by that?” Some 5,600 terms are defined alphabetically, and entries range from a few words to 100 words. Pronunciations are not provided. Several appendixes offer information on commonly prescribed drugs, abbreviations and acronyms, weights and measures, normal physiologic parameters of 28 species, and normal reproductive parameters of 18 species. Sources for more information are also included. --Sue Polanka
