Jennifer Irving, Vet Record, Nov 2024 –
Undoubtedly a useful and good-value resource for veterinary undergraduates, veterinary professionals undertaking in-house necropsies of dogs and cats, and for those who have just started or are thinking of becoming an anatomic pathology resident.
Wes Baumgartner, DVM, PhD, DACVP (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine) –
This book is a useful introduction for those clinicians (and perhaps first year pathology residents) who are interested in improving their skills in necropsy and interpretation and have some experience in the process. It provides a nice step between mere how-to-do explanations of necropsy and in-depth or cyclopedic treatments. The objective of the book is necessary, and overall, it achieves it.
