This edition focuses on dogs, cats, small mammals, birds and reptiles. Learning objective boxes, references and further reading, and self-assessment questions accompany each chapter.

Review: Amazing! Cheapest place for this book! - Great book! My edition sadly got destroyed in the practice, so I needed a replacement. This edition contains the scrapped equestrian module from the old nursing syllabus; as horses aren't common pets. If you need the 2023 book and haven't got enough money this edition is fine, just ignore the horses for your exams. I would recommend reading it later as knowledge is helpful and could be prudent later on. Speak with your professors first though! That's my understanding and a few colleagues...
Review: Vet Nurse must have! - I got this after basically stealing it from the uni library but i have used it for every assignment since I cannot stress enough how much info this book holds its like a cheat sheet! I had my doubts about it because of the price ect but it really is worth the money
