In its more than 500 pages, all aspects of feline orthopaedics are discussed, which provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of the subject...Each chapter is supported by references as well as the authors' own experience with novel techniques and original material...This textbook is highly recommended for recent grauates, practitioners, residents as well as orthopaedic surgeons." --EJCAP, December 2011
"With the expansion of knowledge in this field and the rise of the cat, not just as a pet, but as a valued member of the household, any comprehensive work on feline orthopedics has to be a welcome addition to the practice bookshelf...If you are new to the world of orthopedics and cats form your primary caseload, this probably the book for you." --Vet Record, July 2012
