Veterinary Medicines, Their Actions, Uses and Dose

A practical veterinary reference that explains medicines used for domestic animals, covering their origins, preparation, routes of administration, physiological effects and toxicology. It defines core disciplines—materia medica, therapeutics and toxicology—and systematically lists drug actions and therapeutic categories such as anesthetics, antiseptics, antitoxins, anthelmintics and antipyretics. The text describes representative agents and their modes of action, antidotal and supportive measures, and treatment principles. It concludes with clear, species- and age-based dosing guidance and practical notes on administration and safety for horses, cattle, sheep and swine.
