Product Description
The Sixth Edition of this bestselling handbook includes over 70 new drug monographs, as well as updated dosages and information for older monographs. A separate section on topical medications has been added, and sections on ophthalmic drugs and small animal therapeutic diets have been updated. Completely new to the Sixth Edition is a two-color format and new monograph layout, which enables faster access to much-needed information. The Sixth Edition features new overdose information from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on 50 of the drugs most commonly associated with animal overdoses, and a new appendix on overdose decontamination.
Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook is available in an 8 x 11-inch desk size for enhanced readability and ease of use, as well as the convenient pocket size and electronic formats. Plumb’s one-volume coverage of drugs approved for veterinary species and non-approved (human) drugs that are used in veterinary practices today make this book an essential reference for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary pharmacologists, pharmacists with veterinary patients, animal research or zoological facilities, and libraries that serve these groups.

Plumbs Veterinary Drug Handbook August 24, 2008
This updated version of Plumbs is more user friendly. It now has highlighted sections, making it much easier to find adverse reactions, drug interactions and much more. They also have added a prescriber highlights to give you a fast guide to each drug.
Many new drugs have been added in this version also.
I was very pleased with the updated version and would highly recommend adding it to any library for veterinary prescription drugs. I am a registered veterinary technician and use it daily.

This is the very best pharmaceutical book I have ever owned.
What makes it so worth the price is that not only are the drugs
listed alphabetically by name, but also you can reference them by
use- for example "Otic preparations" "Opthalmic analgesics" and etc...
Plus, it is very complete in giving you a wide range of dosages and is very inclusive of all veterinary drugs on the market. Truly a wonderful book.
Great! July 8, 2008

if you are in the veterinary field, you need this book!! I have bought the newest edition of Plumbs as each one has come out. If a medication is used in veterinary treatments, approved or not for animal use, Plumbs will tell you everything about that drug. Drawbacks, cautions, dosages,(including which dosage for different species, as well as dosages for different problems). I have been a vet tech for close to 30 years, and this is the best drug referance I have ever used.
