Rezensionen

"Even though I have been practicing for several years, I found tips
on diagnostics that I could immediately use at my practice. This
book will make a nice addition to shelves, both for those who see
birds infrequently and on a daily basis. It will be used often for
drug dosages and disease rule-outs that you don't want to flip
through larger textbooks to obtain. Many good facts are in a single
location and can be easily accessed between appointments." -
