Romich’s FUNDAMENTALS OF PHARMACOLOGY FOR VETERINARY TECHNICIANS, 3E demonstrates how the best veterinary technicians succeed on the frontlines of animal patient care through effective drug administration. Following a body-systems approach, chapters cover important drugs, their actions and potentially adverse effects, diseases, dosing, and delivery — all with the goal of developing a deeper understanding of drugs used in veterinary care. To bring practice into the classroom, chapters also explore veterinary technician roles and duties, dosage calculations, legal requirements, pharmacy management, clinical tips and more.
