The seventh edition adds 22 new drug monographs, as well as updated dosages and information for existing drugs. A noteworthy feature is the Prescriber Highlights section found at the beginning of each monograph that allows readers a quick method of finding important information for that drug.
This is the convenient 5 x 8-inch pocket size; Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook is also available in an 8 ½ x 11-inch desk size for enhanced readability and ease of use and as a mobile version. Plumb’s exhaustive one-volume coverage of drugs approved for veterinary species and non-approved (human) drugs that are used in veterinary practices today make this book an essential reference for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary pharmacologists, pharmacists with veterinary patients, animal research or zoological facilities, and libraries that serve these groups.

As a practicing veterinarian, I use Plumb's every day. You know, "My dog has Lyme nephritis, blah blah blah, what dose of doxycycline do you recommend?" or "My tortoise just ate lizard poo, how much Panacur can he have? Blah blah blah." You know the drill.
I wanted access to Plumb's without having to through the online services. Up until now, I had to subscribe to expensive Veterinary Internet Network to get access to an electronic version of Plumb's, and after a while I got tired of the pious "Kumbaya and pass the checkbook" monthly payment. And they weren't very iPad friendly, either. So one day you're lugging your Macbook into an exam room and "Sir Bites-A-Lot," a West Herefordshire Gnashing Retriever sees your hands occupied holding a computer and takes the initiative and tries to rip your throat out. Suddenly you're faced with a spur-of-the-moment choice: do I drop my expensive Macbook and shield my crotch and throat from Sir Bites-A-Lot, or do I hug my Macbook to my chest and scream "Not the face, not the face!" Decisions, decisions.
Fortunately, Dr. Plumb's favorite resource is now available for the Kindle. So I DL'd it to my Kindle app on my iPad and VOILA! I can simultaneously impress clients with my wealth of pharmacological knowledge while simultaneously using my free non-iPad-holding paw to shield myself from the fur-covered razorblade attacking me from the exam table. Kudos to you, Sir! Additionally, the iPad becomes a legitimate business expense and I am blessed by the IRS. Does life get any better, I ask you?
