Applied Pharmacology for Veterinary Technicians 5th Edition
by Boyce P. Wanamaker, Kathy Massey in March 2014
New features have been added to the fifth edition to aid the student and technician in the study and application of pharmacology. All of the drug information through-out the book has been updated and new drugs that have entered the market since the publication of the fourth edition have been included to keep you current with the newest pharmacologic agents and their uses, adverse side effects, and dosage forms. Scientific advances in the area of stem cell treatment have been added to the chapter on immunologic drugs. Coverage of fluid therapy has been expanded to prepare veterinary technicians for the role they play in fluid, electrolyte, and therapeutic nutritional therapy, which can be critically important to the outcome of a case. The fifth edition is now in color, bringing important concepts to life. Cunningham Tratado de Fisiologia Veterinaria 5ª Edição

Our intent in writing this book has been to combine the comprehensiveness of a veterinary pharmacology textbook with the coverage of pharmacologic fundamentals needed by veterinary technicians. No longer will veterinary technician educators have to draw from two sources for this type of coverage. The scope and organization of the information in this book will make it a useful reference for the practicing technician as well.
