   FAISAL ZIA.



2. After using many different references for the first half of my internship, this is the book I most often reach for now. The information is as user friendly as the 5 Minute Consult (an improvement here), and more up to date. There are many, many helpful tables and figures,and the addition of a formulary in the back is welcome. While no book can provide all the answers, I find 90% of them in here. My only complaint is the coverage of emergency care could be tweaked. In critical care situations, when I need information regarding a particular emergency in a hurry, this is not the book I turn to first.



3. A very handy tome of immense value in the stress situation for quick information as well as for in depth study to bone up on latest techniques and those possibly a bit rusty. I can strongly recommend this, it is excellent value. I would want a more updated model though and hope for a new edition soon--I hope the authors are reading this?



4. A book which explores the small animal Veterinary field, uses simple and clear explainations to many different issues in that field. As a student for Veterinary Medicine in the clinical stage, I open the book very often. the book is very readable and friendly for students which their first language is other than English (unlike many others we all know).

   You must have it !!!

1. This is a very good basic book on caring for your Dog. It is an excellent reference for the concerns most of us have about our dogs. It is laid out very logically and contains a lot of information that is not included in other dog care books. I like the fact that the Vet explains things like how to prevent disease as well as what to do about it.

1. Poisoning in Dogs and Cats

   This book is based on approximately 15,000 requests for information made to the Veterinary Poisons Information Service(VPIS) in London, England and the appropriate clinical replies made thereto. It is intended for a veterinary professional however is written so that anyone can benefit from it, with occasional reference to a medical dictionary. It is important to note that the majority of useful information relates to a substance a cat or dog is known to have ingested. Thus, if you suspect your pet has ingested a toxic dose of something it is imperative you figure out what that something was. Forget the television and movie presentations of "we'll send the blood to the lab" (to discover the toxin). By the time a few months have passed by your pet will have been deceased a few months. Some hints can be culled from the symptoms associated with various poisons however one it would take a while to go through all the poisons to ID by symptom.

   Reading this book should give you an idea of what substances to consider while trying to determine a possible poison. Some poisons are more specific to England such as "Yew Tree" (remember those English longbows from Robin Hood? Yew Trees) or a bite from an "adder", a snake not native to our soil. Other poisons common to the USA are ignored such as rattlesnake, brown recluse spider, black widow spiders, etc. There is an insufficient reference to plants. Among some things that should be there are: English Ivy is said to be toxic to cats but not dogs; oleander and castor beans are lethal to most mammals. Also missing are anything resembling a picture, drawing or diagram. But this lack simply adds to the dry British style. All in all this is an excellent book for someone whose best friend is a dog or cat. This should help fill in some gaps on how to best watch over and take care of you dog and/or cat friend.

   GIFT SUGGESTION: If you are looking for a gift for a Veterinarian or veterinary professional this is probably something very few of them would have already obtained for themselves. Veterinary professional are overwhelmingly optimistic and cheerful people. They seldom seem to associate the words "poison" and "pet" unless the pet owner brings it to their attention. My many contacts with these very fine folks is that they have only a very limited grasp of poisoning in dogs and cats. This book would go a long way in "bringing them up to speed". If your gift to the veterinary profession saves one dog or cat you will not have lived your life in vain.

   WARNING: In the off chance a fiend who seeks to poison a dog or cat is looking for a "how to" book I would strongly suggest you pass up on this book and spend your fiendish money on psychotherapy. Should someone poison a pet and purchase of this book is discovered by the authorities that would constitute "specific intent" and would thus mean being sent to a dreadful place (prison) for years where dreadful people would do very nasty things to you for all the years, days and moments of your sentence.

5 comments about Flea Market Fidos: The Dish on Dog Junk and Canine Collectibles.

1. Such a fun and witty little treasure. If you love dog collectibles and vintage treats, this is the book for
   you. I received it as a gift, and have been giving it
   as a gift to all of my fido friends ever since.



2. This book explored the 'types' of canine collectibles one might find in the marketplace, but it didn't address the 'value' of these collectibles, which would have been much more insightful. The content was purely fluff with little substance to offer a true collector.



3. I just purchased this magical book. I couldn't put it down. The photos were amazing and the writing was so clever and unique. Each page brought a new smile and warm feeling. I am going to order one for each of my friends and family. I can't think of a nicer gift to send someone than this special book. In my home, it's my other "best friend ".



4. Dog junk and canine collectibles haven't received their own collectibles guidebook before: enter Flea Market Fidos, a unique guide to canine collectibles which covers everything from dog drawings, to crafts and stuffed animals. Besides history and values, Flea Market Fidos also covers the best shops, flea markets, and web sites for locating canine valuables.



5. What an adorable book! I received it as a gift yesterday and I just couldn't put it down. The photos are great, the writing is comical and its a real feel-good book!

1. A revised copy of the original 1959 publication, with new stories about working dogs and helpmates added (and a few of the old stories that came across as dated removed), Cold Noses and Warm Hearts: Beloved Dog Stories by Great Authors is an anthology of short stories and excerpts celebrating man's best friend by a wide variety of well-known writers, from E. B. White and John Steinbeck to Rudyard Kipling, P. G. Wodehouse, and many more. All tales have a common thread in their reverence for the bond between dog and master, whether told with a touch of humor or the underscore of deep emotion. A superb giftbook for dog lovers everywhere.



2. After reading the first story in this book, I thought this would be a very, very good collection. Alas, there were only a couple more that were as good as the first. Not a bad book overall, though.
