Dictionary of Veterinary Terms: Vet-speak Deciphered for the Non-veterinarian Description
|
If your veterinarian told you that he heard sounds of crepitus in your cat s back leg, or the suspicious lump on your dog s back was a furuncle, what would your reaction be? If you are like most of us, you would be looking at your veterinarian with a blank expression on your face, with not a clue as to what he was saying. Not knowing if you should be more concerned, or breathe a sigh of relief that your pet s ailment was not serious.
Jennifer Coates, DVM, a former veterinary technician, realized the need for a resource in plain English for the veterinary jargon. The result, Dictionary of Veterinary Terms: Vet-Speak Deciphered for the Non-Veterinarian, was recently published by Alpine Publications, Inc. Written in a dictionary format, this book clearly describes the thousands of words that one may encounter at the veterinarian s office. Anyone who owns or works with animals will find it easy to read and to understand. Dr. Coates has also included several charts in the appendices, covering commonly prescribed drugs, with their possible side effects and major uses; acronyms and abbreviations; weights, measures, and conversions; and normal physiologic parameters for a variety of companion animals and livestock. This is an excellent book for those people who include animals in their lives to use as a reference.
