Críticas:

"There are books that cover basic clinical approaches or provide a quick reference guide but for some time there has been a gap on the bookshelf for up-to-date, comprehensive, authoritative book...The book is mammoth and replete with high-quality with high-quality colour diagrams...Was it worth carrying this hefty tome with me each day? Absolutely- it clearly conveys information  that is not found  in other textbooks, along with a good distillation of current knowledge in a reader-friendly  format."

Veterinary Record, October 2012

"Canine and Feline Gastroenterology is a comprehensive text of over 950 pages covering diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the pancreatic and the hepatobillary systems...Canine and Feline and Gastroenterology serves as a must-have reference for both generalist and referral practitioners, as well as postgraduate students with a particular interest in the discipline of veterinary gastroenterology. It is a valuable resource, which I will continue to use in both clinical and research settings, as well as for preparation for specialist exams, and is a worthwhile addition to the practice library."

Australian Veterinary Journal, February 2013

"Wow! What a nice book! Of course the authors' reputation is a good enough reason to want it but the impressive list of contributors can only reinforce my first impression: there is a lot of work and good science in its 996 pages. In fact, serious general practitioners and specialists alike will find all they need to know about the GI tract...The excellent authors finally put to bed myths such as 'nil per mouth' in the case of acute pancreatitis. Almost half of the book is taken up by the diseases of each organ which are thoroughly dealt with and of course there is an impressive list of reference. Got the message? This is a must!
