The Merck
Veterinary Manual (MVM) is an
invaluable animal health reference that has served veterinarians and other
animal health professionals for over 50 years.
The Merck Veterinary Manual (9th Edition) is the single most comprehensive reference
for animal care information! The Merck Veterinary Manual (MVM) has served
veterinarians and other animal health professionals as a concise and reliable
animal health reference for over 50 years.
MVM has more than doubled in volume to accommodate advances in
scientific knowledge and the expansion and specialization of the veterinary
profession over the years. The 9th Edition MVM reflects both the remarkable
advances in veterinary science and the emergence of new pathogens and new
diseases since the publication of the 8th edition of the Manual:
Every chapter has been carefully reviewed
and either revised or rewritten as needed.
In addition, more than 30 new chapters or subchapters were added to address
emerging diseases (eg, West Nile encephalomyelitis, chronic wasting disease,
Lechiguana, Nipah virus infection, and postweaning multisystemic wasting
syndrome, to name a few), and to better cover advances in diagnosis and
treatment (eg, imaging techniques, pain management, ophthalmic emergencies).
Expanded coverage of specialty fields such as cardiology, neurology,
ophthalmology, toxicology, and emergency medicine has been undertaken, as well
as reorganization and expansion of the section on exotic and laboratory animals
to reflect the increasing popularity of exotic petsand to highlight their potential
to transmit zoonotic diseases.
The pharmacology section has been strengthened with the addition of chapters
on chemical residues and veterinary dosage forms and delivery systems.
The table of zoonoses continues to grow; we have added information on
clinical manifestations in humans, as veterinarians continue to be at the
forefront of control of zoonotic diseases and protection of public health.

The PDA version contains over
1,300 images and tables that allow users to view rare disease-causing
