• Gain the essential anatomical knowledge you need to succeed in veterinary practice! Dyce, Sack, and Wensing's Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy, 6th Edition, provides a comprehensive guide to the anatomy of all the species seen in clinical practice ― from dogs and cats to horses, ruminants, pigs, birds, and camelids. The book begins with foundational chapters on the anatomy of body systems, and follows with concise chapters exploring the key anatomical regions of specific animal species. From noted veterinary educator Baljit Singh, this well-established text is both a core resource for students and a practical, go-to reference for practicing veterinarians, and graduate students in areas such as pathology, surgery, medicine and imaging.
