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.

Another one to invest in early in your veterinary career. It will make your life so much easier. Small, and portable for quick references. You should not memorize all the drug doses. Best to have them written down. Get this book if you are a vet student or a practitioner!

THE Drug reference
I have had many formularies over my 32 year career, some excellent, some birdcage liner. Plumbs is, to me,my daily "go to" reference . The practice has a hardback copy and I have an electronic copy on my phone and tablet . I see they are pushing the e-book and provide continuous updates. As an accredited "Old Fart" I do like having a physical book, but I have to admit on my new phone, it is so much faster and useful, I am about to update mine as an e-book
