About this title

Review:

What's the appropriate treatment when Fluffy decides to eat Oleander? What are the presenting symptoms indicating that Bowser may have come in contact with poison ivy? Dr. Knight, DVM at Colorado State University, has compiled a comprehensive, system-based title containing common North American plants and their toxicological effects on large and small animals, along with diagnoses and treatment. This title should be in every vet's library. --Carolyn Lewis
