Jesus there's a shopping list that tells you exactly what you need. And then there's an extensive explanation, step for step on what to do, when and what to use, and how to use it, with dosages and all that. Then there's several chapters that go deeper in the material as fluid therapy, anti shock treatment, understanding antibiotics, hot wound compress, ect.
On the one hand, I agree, what else can you possibly need?

On the other hand, information gets old, outdated, so it never hurts to keep digging

For example, when I first put this compilation together in 2003, there was no mention of 3rd- and 4th-generation cephalosporins in my original reference material. New drugs are always coming out, old drug dosages change, while some drugs no longer work at all (thanks to bacterial resistance).

So, thank you for your comments, but please DO check (and re-check) everything, as sooner or later it will become antiquated.

As do I

In fact, I am still combing through this article, and amending/re-wording this and that.

It is most definitely a fact that, unless a person takes the time to educate himself, he will lose more dogs than necessary, there is no way around this, so credit to you for being one of the few who's constantly trying to learn more and do better.

I am right now going through all of my Healthy Bulldog mags, and plan on re-posting several articles that haven't been published in the 12 years or so that have gone by since it came out.

Part of "re-posting" these articles, however, also includes doing the research to make sure everything is current

You'd be surprised at HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED in just a few years

Therefore, any mistakes, or additions, that you can add (or anyone else) will be incorporated into the article.

I was going to write an upgrade to The Pit Bull Bible, but I think I am going to put my energies to updating This Site instead
