Preface

Welcome to the second edition of Veterinary Anaesthesia: Principles to Practice, which only really came to fruition thanks to all the encouraging messages received in response to the first edition.

The updating and expansion took a little while longer than originally intended, but I and my co‐authors hope that this edition remains a ‘go‐to’ source of information for veterinary nurses, veterinary practitioners, veterinary students, and particularly, post‐graduate students studying for professional veterinary anaesthesia qualifications.

We also hope to share our fascination, passion, and sheer enjoyment of the subject and wish you all ‘Happy Reading!’

Acknowledgements
