How to do what we all promised to do - relieve painDecember 16, 2000 Chris Maitland(New York, NY United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
At last a really good practical book on how to treat pain. It clearly summarises the evidence that animals feel pain and then - this the best bit - turns the science into real help for front-line practising vets.
