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.

A 'must' for any college-level veterinary reference holding or for any practicing vet or student vet October 9, 2008
The 6th updated edition of Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook is a 'must' for any college-level veterinary reference holding or for any practicing vet or student vet: it packs in the latest details on veterinary drugs, including details on monitoring, chemistry, storage, and dosages, and it offers sidebars of color-coded prescribing highlights. The result is an invaluable handbook that will prove a key, foundation acquisition for any serious veterinary reference library.
A good everyday companion September 16, 2008

As a passionate Veterinary Surgeon that likes to be updated about every subject and wants to make the most of its work time, this is a practical and very accurate companion to be around...I possess some of the current veterinary drug formularies and most of them tend to be breef in their descripitons and information (sometimes too breef)...When doubt arises about a certain drug, if you can't find it anywhere you'll certainly find it in Plumb's..."Can i use this in a dog/cat/snake ? what's the dosage ? what are the contra-indications and possible side effects ?"...Plumb's life's goal is to provide rapid and clear answers to these and many other questions...I strongly reccomend this book to every Vet in the USA...
Great Resource August 30, 2008
This is the third time I have purchased the latest edition of this book. It is an invaluable resource.
Excellent book (plus good price and fast shipping from Amazon) August 25, 2008
Excellent book, everything that you might need to know about drugs being used at large and small and exotic animal practices. Five stars!
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.
