 Merck Veterinary Manual September 24, 2008
This book is meant for professionals working with many different types of animals. It contains a wealth of information which, although I am simply a dog owner, I have used in caring for my pets. However, a book meant for lay people that is easier to read and use might have been a wiser choice for me.
Something about everything July 17, 2008
The Merck Veterinary Manual is a very good first hand explanation about basically every disease or disorder your animal may get. The down side for us non-veterinarians is that it is written for veterinarians so you may have to look up a lot of scientific terms and Latin names for bacteria ... You also have to know the diagnosis because you need the name of the disease or disorder to be able to find it in this book (you would have to know it by heart to be able to "diagnose" the problem yourself. But at the end of the book short - some pages long - descriptions and useful information for all kinds "domestic" animals is added so you may also find some basic information how to handle your "pet" very quickly.

Merck Veterinary Manual June 14, 2008
The Merck Veterinary Manual is a good reference esp. following a visit to the veterinarian and you want/need more information about your pet. The Manual answers questions that you forgot to ask.
I have used the Merck Manuals for years in the health care industry and do not hesitate to recommend any Merck Manual.
