Praise for the first edition: "...ideal for the student about to take their finals on the veterinary degree course, the new graduate about to set foot on their first sheep farm and the farmer who is keen to learn about an emerging disease." -Oliver Hodgkinson in The Veterinary Journal "The format is familiar: diseases are dealt with the body system, but the inclusion of notes on economic and welfare issues are interesting additions...Dr. Scott is an experienced and caring clinician who has produced a volume that combines authoritative text with excellent photographs...It deserves to become a well used addition to the veterinary armoury." -David C. Henderson in Veterinary Record "...a very useful book, which I hope the author will keep up-to-date with further editions for many years to come." -Graham Duncanson in Veterinary Times "...any practice that does any work with sheep, whether hill or lowland, commercial or lawn mowing, should buy a copy of this book... the illustrations alone make this textbook worthwhile, and the layout is excellent." -Veterinary Times
