Book Info
The 5th edition of Donald Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook remains the best-selling veterinary resource every veterinarian needs to keep within easy reach. Newly revised, this edition of the handbook includes more than 50 new monographs with a list of synonyms at the end of each monograph, a revised insulin monograph, an expanded ophthalmology section and new headings for reproductive/nursing safety.
Prescriber Highlights introduce each monograph adding quick reference convenience to this world-class sourcebook. Each concise but still informative monograph includes information on chemistry, storage/stability/compatibility, pharmacology, uses/indications, specific phramacokinetics, contraindications/precautions/reproductive safety, adverse effects/warnings, overdosage/drug toxicity, drug interactions, drug/laboratory interactions, monitoring parameters, client information, doses for each species including exotics and birds, and dosage forms/preparations/FDA approval status. New to the desk edition is a larger 8.5 x 11 double column format for enhanced readability and ease of use. Plumb’s one-volume coverage of drugs approved for veterinary species and of non-approved (human) drugs used in veterinary practices today make this book “required reading” for veterinarians, veterinary pharmacologists, pharmacists in veterinary hospital practice, laboratory and veterinary technicians, animal research facilities, and libraries that serve these groups. This book is a must-buy for any veterinarian in practice!

Paperback: 270 pages
Publisher: Blackwell Publishers (January, 2006)
Book Info
Veterinary Psychopharmacology is the only complete source of current knowledge on the subject of pharmacologic behavior modification. Classification of disorders is eschewed in favor of in-depth explanations of pharmacologic options in inducing behavior changes. Special emphasis is given to explaining the underlying mechanism of pharmacologic agents used in therapy; thus, veterinarians will know not only which drugs to prescribe but why they should be prescribed and how they work.
Topics include: * Introduction to Psychopharmacology in Veterinary Medicine * Amino Acid Neurotransmitters: GABA, Glutamate and Benzodiazepines * Benzodiazepines * Biogenic Amine Transmitters: Serotonin * Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors * Azapirones * Biogenic Amine Transmitters: Norepinephrine, Dopamine and Acetylcholine * Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors * Antipsychotics * Central Nervous System Stimulants * Tricyclic Antidepressants * Endogenous Opioid Peptides * Opioid Antagonists * Hormones * Drug Combinations
