Comparative and Veterinary Pharmacology

Principles of Drug Therapy Across Animal Species

Comparative and Veterinary Pharmacology: Principles of Drug Therapy Across Animal Species is a comprehensive reference exploring the principles of pharmacology across domestic, companion, food-producing, and wildlife species. Integrating comparative physiology with pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical therapeutics, the book examines how species-specific differences influence drug efficacy, safety, and metabolism. It is an essential resource for veterinarians, pharmacologists, researchers, and students seeking a deeper understanding of veterinary drug therapy.
