Great book. Envelopes a lot of main priorities. I just feel the section for drawing blood was a little vague with the vein puncture sites. Other than that, it’s an excellent resource. Just feel that particular topic wasn’t talked about enough and IS one of the most important aspects of being a Vet Assistant, which was sort of left out.
