Veterinary Toxicology: Basic and Clinical Principles, Fourth Edition is a unique single reference that provides a comprehensive overview on the basic principles of veterinary toxicology to any student at the DVM, MS, or PhD level while also continuing to serve as a clinical reference for practitioners. The book thoroughly updates toxicologists and advanced students on the newest approaches for diagnosing poisoning cases in all animals from chemicals, plants, and accidental or malicious intents. Many chapters are provided on topics not covered in any previous books, such as target organ toxicity, radiation and radioactive materials, FDA regulatory issues, and ethics in veterinary toxicology.

Completely revised and updated to include the most recent developments in the field animal toxins, toxicokinetics mechanism of action, toxicity, and treatment, this book is an essential resource for researchers, practicing veterinary toxicologists, advanced students in toxicology, poison control centers, as well as environmentalists, marine biologists, and animal scientists.
