ABSTRACT
This book is dedicated to my family, who have always been a constant source of support during my writing. I would like to thank my colleagues in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at Purdue University, including Drs Ann Weil, Amy Fauber, Michael Lucroy, Tomhito Inoue, and Rebecca Krimins, for their valuable contributions. I would like to thank my teachers, mentors, and colleagues who during my career have shared their knowledge, skills, and wisdom. I would like to thank Mr Michael Manson, Managing Director of Manson Publishing, and Jill Northcott, Comissioning Editor, for their enthusiastic support of this project. I am greatly indebted to Peter Beynon (copy editor) and Kate Nardoni (project manager), who shared the burden with
me during the production of this book. I would like to thank Ms Constance Nicklin for assistance in preparing the original manuscript. I warmly acknowledge the veterinary students, interns, and residents who I have taught at the University of Illinois, Virginia Polytech University, the University of Florida, Oklahoma State University, and Purdue University. Many of these students have read the material contained in this book as part of their lecture program. Thanks are also due to the veterinary practitioners who allowed me to visit their clinics and consult on their anesthetic protocols and discuss their anesthetic art forms. Their open minds and willingness to strive for better veterinary anesthetic care are key ingredients in the writing of this color handbook
