  1. 1. I have chosen to read a book called Handbook of veterinary communication skills, Authors are Carol Gray and Jenny Moffet. The book is published 2010 and publisher is Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

    2. I have chosen this book because the outfit of the book is fascinating and the content sounds interesting and useful. Besides, I find it beneficial that there is a lot of examples, too. In my opinion it is also important for veterinarians to improve their communication skills.

    3. The importance of communication in the health care arena is tight established. Lack of communication and miscommunication are related to client dissatisfaction. It is commonly acknowledged that communication is a process, which is ongoing. The use of a model by Hargie, is a way of considering the central elements included in the communication process, the sender, the receiver, the message and the channel. Interpersonal communication consist of both verbal and non-verbal aspects. Questioning skills are crucial to good practice and the best use of valuable time. Listening is also one of the most important abilities to the caring practitioner. For the skilled veterinarian, a knowledge about different heritages of cultures is a worthwhile attribute.

    4. So far, the book seems to be informative and worth reading. The topics are clear and many examples demonstrate the main point of the paragraph. There are also chapters for example about listening, public speaking and dealing with difficult situations.

  2. 1. Sjaastad, Ø.V., Hove, K. and Sand, O. Physiology of Domestic Animals. Scandinavian Veterinary Press, Oslo, 2003.
    2. I chose this book, because it was in our recommended reading list. Also it was the only book from the list which was available in library. Although I would have chosen a similar book, because I have to study the same things in the near future.
    3. This book has chapters about different bodily functions, like digestion, reproduction, circulation etc. Therefore I chose a chapter about muscles.
    Muscle tissue is divided into three major types: skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle. Muscle cell develop force by contracting. Muscle cells contain two major types of microfilaments, actin and myosin filaments. During muscle contraction, these filaments slide along each other. Contraction of the skeletal muscle cells is under voluntary nervous control. Cardiac muscle and smooth muscle cannot be controlled at will. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by strong tendons. Most of the smooth muscle cells are located in the walls of the hollow and tubular organs. The walls of the heart consist almost entirely of cardiac muscle. Based on the contraction velocity during a single twitch, the skeletal muscle fibers are divided into two major types: slow and fast muscle fibers. It is with the aid of muscles that the brain gives visible expression to thoughts and emotions.

    4. It is necessary to have knowledge of anatomy, physics, chemistry and biochemistry when reading this book. It gives profund knowledge of different bodily functions. All chapters include clinical examples, which may motivate the readers. As well there are some illustrations for better understanding.

  3. 1. I have chosen to read Adams' Lameness in Horses. The author is Ted S. Stashak and it was published by Lea & Febiger in 1987 in Philadelphia.

    2. I chose this book because I find this area in veterinary medicine really interesting. There is a lot of information in the book, starting from the conformation of a healthy limb to all kinds of treatment methods. Lameness is the most common problem with horses, and I think it is important to improve this area of equine medicine.

    3. I have read about the functional anatomy of the equine locomotor organs. The foot and pastern comprise the equine digit. This region includes the three phalanges and structures surrounding them.
    The fetlock consists of the fetlock joint, the proximal sesamoid bones and associated structures.
    The hoof consists of the connective tissue corium,, digital cushion, coffin bone, the lateral cartilages of the distal phalanx, the coffin joint, the distal extremity of the middle phalanx, the navicular bone and the navicular bursa, several ligaments, tendons of insertion, blood vessels and nerves.
    The carpus consists of the proximal and distal row of carpal bones, the distal extremity of the radius, which is fused with ulna, the proximal extremities of the metacarpal bones and ligaments and structures related to these components.

    4. There is certainly a lot of information in the book. It is also quite descriptive and has some good pictures. Sometimes it is a bit hard to read, since the amount of information is so large.

  4. 1. Author: K.M. Dyce, W.O. Sack, C.J.G. Wensing, 3th edition 2002, Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy. United States of America: Elsevier Science.

    2. I chose this book because it is definitely useful for the anatomy studies. There is a lot of interesting drawings and pictures on the book. This book is also one of the recommended books for home reading.

    3. So far I have read the first chapter which includes basic facts and concepts. Anatomy word literally means “cutting apart”. The language of anatomy must be precise and unambiguous, but unhappily there has long been an alarming superfluity of terms. The most of the terms come direct from Latin. There is many “levels” of anatomy. For example the information obtained by dissection can be organized in two ways, systematic anatomy or regional anatomy. Regional anatomy is most conveniently studied by the dissection of the embalmed cadaver. Then there is radiographic anatomy (X-rays and computed tomography; CT), which has for some time been an indispensable component of anatomy. Bones has been classified various ways, for example individual bones by shape according to a rather naïve system. Bones meet each other at joints or articulations. There is various joint-types, which have their own structures and functions. For example fibrous joints occur in the skull and are known as sutures.

    4. The language of the book is a quite easy. All the pictures and drawings are really helpful, if something is unclear. I find the book interesting, although it includes a lot of text, so I’m going to buy it for myself.

    5. injury = vigastus, trauma

    pneumatic = suruõhu-, pneumo-
    fibrous = kiuline, vintske
    dissection = lahkamine
    hinge joint = hing-, liigendliiges
    abduction = röövimine

  5. 1. Bonnie Ballard, Ryan Cheek. 2003. Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician. Iowa: A Blackwell Publishing Company
    2. I chose this book, because I have always been interested in exotic animals. Unfortunately we have only one course about exotic animals, so I have to search information independently. Besides that I have a snake of my own at home, so this subject is close to my heart.

    3. The part I have read so far told about snakes. They have become very popular pets during last few years, and there has become need for specialist who could treat them. But most important thing is to understand, that most reptiles become ill due to improper husbandry. So the first part tells about proper housing and nutrition. How to choose right terrarium and substrate? What about heating, lightning and humidity? Getting these things right snake stays healthy and lives many years even in captivity.
    Of course reptile medicine is evolving constantly and it’s important to understand how snake’s body works. After all their anatomy and physiology differ a quite lot from mammals.

    4. I like this book. It’s easy to understand because it’s written for veterinary technicians. Besides diseases it tells generally about exotic animals, and how they should be kept, fed and treated.

    The Poultry Farmer´s and Manager´s Veterinary Handbook, Peter W Laing, The Crowood Press, 1999


    2. Why have you chosen that particular book?
    This book is quite easy to read and the font is clear. Book handles it´s subjects on a simple, but enough specific way. Subjects that this book handles are not that familiar to me, so I thought it would be good to read something new.
    3. Give a brief summary of what you have read so far
    I have read the book from the very beginning, and so far it has been mostly about the basic thigs about chikens and how to keep them healthy. Things are handled also on the wiew of the eggs quality and amount. Naturally, the better the chiken feels, the better are the eggs. So far I have also learned how to feed chiken and how many of them is it possible to keep on the same area.
    4. What are your impressions of the book?
    Book seems reliable and it´s well written. Chapters are logical and the different parts of the book are easy to find. Some words are a little weird, but most of them I have found from different dictionaries.
    5. Provide a list of 15-20 terms translated into Estonian

  7. 1. I read "Zoo animals behaviour, management and welfare". The authors are Geoff Hosey, Vicky Melfi, Sheila Pankhurst. The book was published 2009 by Oxford University Press.

    2. I chose this book firstly, because I did not want to read something medical and what was hard to follow. Secondly, I really liked the cover of the book, it caught my attention. Thirdly, I wanted to read something about exotic species.

    3. I decided to read about captive breeding. The chapter starts with a brief summery of the theory of the reproductive biology. It talks about the basic genetics that I already know about and continues to reproduction and sex, where I found some new information. For example insects like grasshoppers and cockroaches, males are determined by an absence of one chromosome (XO). As we all know that most bird species have an opening known as a "cloaca", but swans,ducks, geese and ostriches have a penis. But snakes and lizards have a pair of hemipenis-although only one hemipenis is used at on time during copulation.

    4. I really like the book. It is very easy to follow and only some words are unknown. There are a lot of examples and explanations that improves the understanding.

  8. I chose to read the following book: Authors: Catherine McGowan, Lesley Goff, Narelle Stu; Year 2007; Animal Physiotherapy: Assessment, Treatment and Rehabilitation of Animals; publisher Wiley Blackwell
    2. I chose this book because it’s about a branch of animal care that I’m really interested of. The book looked very “inviting” and had some amount of pictures to go with the text. The text was easy to read and sorted in an easy-to-read-fashion.
    3. I have so far red about hydrotherapy and applied animal behavior. The part concerning hydrotherapy talked about how exercising in a pool or an underwater dreadmill makes healing from injuries easier, because the exercise on for example a broken limb can be started earlier without the fear of more injuries. Applied animal behavior talked for example about the rehabilitation on different animal species, what kind of cognitive needs they have being a hunter or a pray by nature etc. The amount of text on the first topic was slightly larger than in the second one and to me it seemed that the second topic didn’t go as deep in the matter as the first one.
    4. I think this book is very informative and easy to read. Even though it deals with a specialized topic everyone can read it and understand the text. The chapters were also kept short enough. If I found this book in a store I probably would buy it.

    2. I have chosen this book because it is an anatomy book and I think it would be useful for anatomy studies. The book has many pictures to help understanding of the text. This book was recommended by our anatomy teacher.
    3. I started reading the book from the chapter with the digestive apparatus. The chapter explains the digestive system, starting with an overview of the parts and organs. Then the chapter explains in details the mouth, the tongue, the salivary glands, the teeth, and so on. The text explains the structure of the mouth and what the mouth includes and some differences that different animals have. Then the chapter explains the structure of the tongue and the functions that it has. After that the chapter goes in great details to the salivary glands. Then the chapter explains the masticatory apparatus which comprises the teeth and gums, the temporomandibular and symphysial joints of the jaws and the masticatory muscles.
    4. I find this book interesting and useful. I like the fact that it has pictures and drawings to help understand the text. The text is quite easy to understand since it has many terms familiar from our anatomy class.

  11. 1. Katherine A. Houpt, 2005, "Domestic Animal Behavior" 4th Edition. USA: Blackwell Publishing Proffessional

    2. I choose this book, because I think it is very important that veterinary can read animals body-language. If we can read their behaviour it would be much easier to diagonse and handle them. Also it is very interesting book.

    3. Book's first chapter that I read talks about animals communication. It is talking about ways animals get he information and how to they cheer their messages. First of all it talks about acuity. I was suprised that sheep can recognizes faces of other sheeps and differentiate them on the basis of photography. Second part was about color vision. The chapter also brings out communication differences of different animals. For example cats have a fourteen different vocalizations to express their feeling and needs. They spray urine to mark their territory and use anal secrets mostly for sniffing when two strange cats meets. Cats also have quite many communicational problems, such as house soiling or inappropriate elimination. These problems are usually male cats problems. All these are treatable, but they need time and dedication for it.

    4. It is fantastic and interesting book. When I started to read it, it was really hard to but it down again. I have learned many new thing from this book.

  12. 1.I have chosen to read a «Essentials of Disease in Wild Animals». Gary A.Wobeser. First edition,2006. Blackwell publishing, USA.

    2. I chose this book because I think, that the study of wildlife diseases is an interface area that can be approached from many different perspectives. This is book that deals with basic subjects such as the nature of disease, what causes disease, how disease is described and measured and so on. At the end of book also is useful glossary.

    3. I read about «What is Disease?» and « What Causes of Disease?». is measured in terms of impairment of function rather than by the death of individuals. It is very hard to define exactly where health ends and disease begins. Disease may result from factors acting alone or in combination. Factors that cause disease may be either intrinsic, such as an inherited. The dysfunction that constitutes disease usually results from the body’s reaction to injury rather than from the injury itself. Infectious agents include viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, and metazoan. Diseases can be noninfectious or idiopathic. Noninfectious diseases include those caused by genetic disorders, physical and chemical agents, metabolic alterations, degenerative changes, nutritional imbalances and deficiencies. Idiopathic diseases are diseases currently of unknown causation.

    4. I like the book. It is organized into 14 relatively short (10 to 20 page) chapters. Each chapter is enhanced by multiple tables, graphs, high quality black and white photographs (predominantly gross lesions and relatively few photomicrographs). This book is easy to read, and utilizes many specific examples.

    1984
    Manual of Internal Fixation in Small Animals
    Germany
    Springer-Verlag

    2. I chose this book because it looked like a good one and it seemed to contain much useful information.
    I have always been in interested in surgery. I like that there are many illustrations.

    3. I have already read about fundamental principles of the AO/ASIF method. The definition for AO/ASIF is Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Osteosynthesfragen/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation. It is the name of the association which was founded in Germany to study and promote the use of internal fracture fixation. I read about the history of internal fixation and the aim of the AO/ASIF method. The aim of the technique is a rapid return to full function by the portion of the skeleton involved. I also read fundamentals and principles of the AO/ASIF technique. I learnt which knowledge and instruments I need for adequate fixation of different fracture types in bones.

    4. The first impressin of the book was good. It is a bit old because it was published more than twenty years ago but I think it is still worth reading. It is written by specialists and it is reliable.

  14. Katja Koskinen:

    1. I have chosen to read a book called "Small animal paediatric medicine and surgery". It is written by Giselle Hosgood and Johnny D. Hoskins. The book was first published 1998 Oxford, Boston, Johannesburg, Melbourne, New Delhi and Singapore by Reed Educational and psofessional Publishing

    2. I borrowed the book from the library of our university and had to choose between the books there were.. This book seemed most interesting for I fins this area of veterinary medicine interesting.

    3. The book begins with simple things explaning for example how to do a physical examination for a dog and shares detailed information aobut development of puppies and kittens. Then the book presents the most common ways of diagnostic evaluotion such as laboratory tests, radiography and ultrasonopgraphy also offering very detailed
    information about normal blood values of dogs and cats. The book continues with chapter about preventive care including vaccination, parasite control and dental care. The next chapter deals with anaesthesia and pain management. This chapter describes what needs to be considered when using anesthesia for puppies and kittens instead of an adult animal. The chapter also presents different anaesthetic agents and suggested doses for puppies and kittens.

    4. Though the books deals with anaesthesia, medication and surgical operations, the beginning of the book seems to include every day information about vaccinations and basic physical healthcare of a pet. That I think every dog of cat owner might find quite useful. There are medical temrs in the text
    but everything is well explained and easily understandable.

  17. 1. P. McDonald, RA. Edwards, JFD. Greenhalgh, CA. Morgan, 2002, Animal Nutrition, Essex: Pearson Education limited

    2. I looked for a book to read in the library of EMÜ. I chose this book because I’m interested in both animal and human nutrition. I thought it could be both interesting and useful to read this book.

    3. I read a chapter about digestion. Digestion means the breaking down process of big insoluble molecules in food, into simpler compound that can be absorbed into the body. The different processes throughout the digestive tract are described in the chapter. The processes can be grouped into mechanical, chemical and microbial activities. The microbial processes are important especially in the digestion of ruminants. In the text is separately explained what kind of processes happen in each of the organs that take part of the digestion, starting with the mouth followed by the stomach and the intestines. The main organ for the absorption of dietary nutrients by the monogastric animals is the small intestine. The absorption of the different nutrients (i.e. carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals) is described.

    4. The book is quite theoretic with a lot of chemistry and different graphs. The digestion chapter was one of the less chemistry, more biology orientated chapters, which I liked. Despite the theoretical content the language is quite easily understandable.

    The blood and the circulatory system provide rapid transport between all parts of the body. The major function of blood is transportation. Transport O2 and CO2, blood also carries heat, and has an important role thermoregulation. The blood consist of extracellular fluid and cells. The fluid in the blood is called plasma. Blood contains three main types of cells: erytrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells) amd thrombocytes (blood platelets). The function of red blood cells in transportation. White blood cells serve important function in the defens of the body. Blood platelets, play key role in hemostasis which means all mechanisms that contribute to the cessational of bleeding after injury to a blood vessel. If the hemostatic mechanism are not sufficiently effective, catastrophic bleeding may occur following a slight injury.
    4. Before I started reading this book I was convinced, it is hard and quite boring medical literature. But I have to admitted it is hard but not boring. There are interesting facts, clinical examples, drawings, figures what makes reading more thrilled.

  20. 1.I read “Zoo animals: behaviour, management, and welfare” by Geoff Hosey, Vicky Melfy and Sheila Pankhurst, published in 2009 by Oxford University Press.
    2.I wanted to read something about exotic or wild animals and at first I thought about one book from the list. This book was not available in the library and then I decided to look for a book similar to the one from the list. I found this book and it seemed interesting, so I decided to read this book.
    3.I decided to read a chapter about housing and husbandry. This chapter gives a clear overview what should be considered housing a wild animal. Age, size and social needs must be all taken into consideration while it must also be possible for a zoo keeper to clean and feed the animal and for a visitor to get a clear look at the animal. To come up with the best enclosure design a lot of research and planning must be done, because there are lot of options to choose from. For example to keep animals and visitors apart you could use bars, glass, moats, electricity and so on. But each of those options has both advantages and disadvantages and are not suitable for all animals.
    4.I like this book because it is sophisticated and very interesting but at the same time it is quite easy to follow and understand. There are a lot of tables and graphics that make all the information more visual. To go on this book gives many examples about the real life and practical use.

  21. 1.Andrea E. Floyd and Richard A. Mansmann. Equine Podiatry. St. Louis, Missouri: Saunders Elsevier

    2.I have chosen this book because i looked for books which were related to equine medicine. I'm also interested in different equine feet problems. That is why this book fit the requirements quite well.

    3. So far i have read about the hoof anatomy and about different deformities of the limb and what may cause these.

    Anatomy chapter gives a good description of how the hoof is built. It starts with outer parts of the hoof and then continues with bones, tendons, joints, ligaments.

    Deformity of a limb can develop at any age. But it most likely will occur when the horse is growing. It may happen that the horse is born with a deformity or it can develop when the foals grows. Collectively, they are known as developmental orthopedic disorders (DODs).

    The chapter also brought out description how a bone normally develops and requirements for normal development which consist good genetic information in first place. The proper uterine environment is also important. Correct diet and right amount of movement can also prevent DODs.

    4. I’m quite pleased with my choice. Everything is explained very detailed and there are also good illustrations to get a better picture about different descriptions. Vocabulary is a bit hard for me in some parts of the book and my knowledge in veterinary medicine isn’t that good yet to get 100% out of this book.

  22. Assignment for Home reading
    1. Full reference to the book I have chosen to read:
    Teresa Bradley Bays, Teresa Lightfoot and Jörg Mayer. Exotic Pet Behavior: Birds, Reptiles, and Small Mammals. Philadelphia: Penny Rudolph.
    It is also possible to download this book at http://ebooklink.net/g/search/exotic%20pets

    2. I have chosen that particular book because I am interested in miscellaneous small mammals, especially in exotic small mammals, and in ferrets. I wanted to learn more about chinchillas, hedgehogs and ferrets. The book did not seemed to be too difficult, although there were quite many new words for me. This book also seemed to be exciting because of interesting and colorful illustrations, which ordinarily make reading more comprehensible.

    3. I have read all about hedgehogs and a little about chinchillas so far. The species of hedgehog that has been traditionally available in the pet trade is Atelerix albiventris, commonly called the African pygmy hedgehog. Hearing appears to be very acute in pygmy hedgehogs, especially in the ultrasonic range. Eyesight is not particulary acute, and their color recognition is poorly developed. Hedgehogs are polygamous. Baby African pygmy hedgehogs nurse for 5 to 7 weeks and are independent by 2 moths of age. White „nest spines“ emerge just after birth and are shed approximately 1 month of age when permanent spines appear. Hedgehogs are also excellent climbers and swimmers. Hedgehogs may „self-anoint“ and they are observed to feed on extremely venomous animals (vipers, cobras, scorpions)
    The family Chincillidae is made up of three genera consisting of six species. Two species are recognized: Chinchilla brevicaudata, Chinchilla lanigera. Chinchillas are craepuscular and nucturnal. Females are larger and more agressive than males.

    4. My impression of the book is marvelous. The book is interesting and spellbinding. The formulation of the book is not very difficult. I learned a lot of new words. Information about miscellaneous small mammals I read about was also new and absorbing. I was impressed of the client educational handout of certain species, which is at the end of the topic. (e.g. Client Educational Handout: African Pygmy Hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris).

  23. 1. Peter J. Chenoweth and Michael W. Sanderson. 2005, Beef Practice: Cow-calf Production Medicine. Blackwell Publishing.

    2. I picked this book because it has an interesting book cover. About cattles are also useful to know because we learn them anyway. It also seemed most intresting book in library.

    3. This book has many chapters but I have chosen Behavior and Handling.
    Animals that are calm and have low fear of humans will be more productive animals. When cattle become agitated in a squeeze chute, it is usually as a result of fear. Calm cattle are easier and safer to handle than are agitated, fearful cattle. Handlers who use behavioral principles will be able to handle cattle more efficiently. Research has shown that yelling at cattle is very stressful for the animals. Cattle remember painful experiences, and they become ever easier to handle when they become habituated to quiet handling.

    4. I have good impressions because it is very necressary to know about cow-calf behavior, management and others related things. We need to learn anyway about cattles and it is good to me when I read something by myself to.
    One good thing is that it is easy to read and there are some illustrations for better understanding.

  24. 1)Physiology and Behaviour of Animal Suffering by Neville G. Gregory (Royal Veterinary College) and Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council
    Wiley- Blackwell Publishing, London 2005
    2)I have chosen this book because I am deeply interested in the behaviour of animals. In the past I have never been interested in the physiology of animal suffering and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for me to kill two birds with one stone. And I also wanted to find out what do animals feel and why they act the way they act when they are suffering (for example from stress).
    3)Deciding when to care about suffering has moral as well as practical considerations. Morals may be influenced by personal outlook, but society in general has a responsibility to care about animal suffering.
    Pain is an important percepation that can lead to suffering. Scientifically, there are seven criteria that have to be met before there is adequate proof that a species can experience pain. On its own, one of the most convincing criteria is the self-selection of a pain-killer during chronic or otherwise unvoidable pain. Few species have been tested in this paradigm. ’Higer’ animals can display neurotic behaviour patterns which are analogous to some forms of mental disorder in humans.
    Stress is physiological disturbance that is imposed by stressor, such as a threatening or harmful situation. It is associated with suffering when there is mental distress. It is usually classified according to the stressor, which can be either the stimulus that provokes the stress response or the context in which the stress occurs.
    4)My impressions are very good. I am not usually a keen reader but in this case I really enjoy myself and the book. I think reading this book will be very useful in the future. The only thing that bothers me a little is that there is described one research many times in different ways. It is kind of bothering because one can understand it by reading it only once.
    5)Malaise – ebamugavus
    Unremitting – pidev
    Pre-empt – ennetama

    2. I chose this book because it was very colorful and seemed interesting. There were a lot of medical terms in this book and therefore I got a little bit frightened. But yet I still have to learn those things anyway and then I thought this book will be useful for me.

    3.I chose a little bit of chapter Muscles and chapter about Blood and its function. Muscles that support body posture are active for long periods and consist of a relatively large percentage of slow muscle fibers. There are, however, considerable differences between species, and between breeds within species, regarding the percentage of fast and slow fiber types in muscles. For example, 97% of the fibers in the propulsive muscles of greyhounds are fast type fibers, compared to only 70% in less active breeds of dogs. Very interesting was the chapter about how muscles turn into meat. There were that after slaughtering and drained of blood, the aerobic metabolism in the muscle cells ceases. The meat gradually tenderizes during storage(hanging). The major function of blood is transportation. Since blood consists of live cells surrounded by extracellular fluid, it is a tissue. Blood volume depends on body size, physical fitness, nutritional status, age, lactation state, and stage of pregnancy. About 70% of the blood resides in the veins. Hemoglobin, which gives blood its red color, constitutes approximately 95% of the protein content of the erythrocytes and 34% of their mass.

    4. So far I think this book is very good. In the beginning it was hard to concentrate because the text were very scientific but as the time went by, the book became very interesting. There are little texts about different things with examples and they are really fascinating.

  26. 1. I chose the following book - Bairbre O’Malley. 2005. Clinical Anatomy and Physiology of Exotic Species. Germany: Elsevier Limited.
    2. I chose this book since it seemed interesting and as the title implies, it is about anatomy and physiology, thereby it should not be too difficult to read. Moreover, we only have one course on exotic animals and in case we want to bind our future with them, we have to learn independently. Actually this book proved to be very useful since it has a chapter about rabbits, which are very common pets in Estonia.
    3. I read two chapters, one was an introduction to small mammals and the other was about rabbits. The introduction gives a small overview, mainly focusing on the differences from other animal classes, for instance, the fact that they have a specialised atlas-axis complex to help them rotate their head up and down and side to side. The introduction mainly focuses on two orders: Lagomorpha and Rodentia.
    The chapter about rabbits gives a thorough description of their anatomy and physiology from thermoregulation to senses. It also has a short paragraph about their origin and history. As it turns out, several health issues, for example malnutrition and dermatitis, are caused by improper care.
    4. It seems to be thorough and reliable as every important aspect of anatomy and physiology is described. The book does not focus on only healthy organs etc, but also has aspects of anatomical pathology. What is more, the book is well-structured and it is easy to find what you are looking for.

    2.I have chosen this book because it is written in as a Textbook. The book explaines diffrent aspects of the topic you are reading. It gives the names of the diseses and how to detect them and the solution to them.
    3.Mammalian young do not need teeth for the suckling process thus can be delivered in a relatively mature state.The mammary ectoderm is first represented by parallel linear thickenings on the ventral belly wall. The continuity of the ridge that is formed is broken into the appropriate number of mammary buds from which the functional part of the mammary gland is later derived.Duct systems connect alveoli with the nipple, enabeling milk to pass from the area of formation to the aerea of delivery.The position of mammary glands varie in in animals. One of the important anatomical adaptions of the udder that allows dary cows to carry large amounts of milk is the development of a suspention system for the udder. The main protines in milk are called caseins and are found in curd. Commn diseases that affect the mammary gland are masetitis and neoplasia.
    4.My impression is good because it gives important knowledge about animals and their organs.I found several interesting facts that are certanly worth remembering.And I find that the reading of this book will benifit me in the future.

  28. 1. I also read "Zoo animals behaviour, management and welfare".

    The authors are Geoff Hosey, Vicky Melfy, Sheila Pankhurst. The book was published 2009 by Oxford University Press.

    2. I chose this book, because I wanted to get knowledge about zoo animals. They are different compared to Estonian animals and that makes them more interesting. Also, I wanted to know if zoo animals behaviour are different compared those who live in the wild.


    3. I decided to read a chapter about behaviour. The study of behaviour is about understanding what animals do and why they do it. This chapter explains thoroughly how animals behave in captivity. How did their behaviours evolve, what is normal and what abnormal. For example, if zoo environments are suboptimal for the animals (too little cage size, a small amount of food), abnormal behaviours may result. However zoos have advantages for collecting descriptive information about the behaviours that animals show, which would usually be much more difficult to observe in the wild. Also there are described how to train animals to do some tricks and perform shows for the public.


    4. The book was very informative, it has a lot of pictures and tables what made the text easier to understand. Also there are some explanations of difficult words below the line.

    2.I chose this book, because it seems to be the most interesting book in our recommended reading list. Also this book includes topics that we are going to learn in the future. Besides - I liked that this book came out just this year and so I can read the newest information.
    3.I have read the chapter about senses. The working mechanism of the sensory cell is that it converts specific types of stimulation to electrical signals. Those are processed by the nervous system. The senses are necessary for the nervous system. Without them, the nervous system could not control the body. Animals could not learn, because information of different events would not be stored in the memory and the basis for thinking and feeling would not exist.
    There are different kinds of senses. Those that are connected to the skin and the musculo-skeletal system are called somatic senses. The sensory nerve terminals in the organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities are connected with the visceral senses. Together the somatic and visceral senses are called body senses. Vision, hearing, taste and smell are known as special senses.
    Another important sense is the sense of pain, what is necessary for survival. Pain can be divided into 2 different groups: nociceptive and neurogenic pain.
    4.I think that it is pretty good book, because it explicates how animal body functions work and has lots of illustrations. For me it was sometimes a little bit hard to read, because you have to know specific vocabulary. But I think that this reading helps a lot to acquire a new terms that are necessary to know in the future.

    2. I chose to read this book because it seemed interesting. Anatomy is very interesting and important part of our studies. Also our anatomy teacher recommended this book. We have anatomy exam coming in January so I thought it would be useful to read something that handles the same theme.
    3. I started to read chapter 2 “The Locomotor Apparatus”. It describes the anatomy of the bones, muscles and joints. The part I read explains the anatomic structure of the trunk which is the main part of the carcass. After moving head, neck, tail and limbs from animal’s body, the trunk is what is left. First the chapter describes the basic structure and development of the trunk. Then there is presented the joints and the skeleton of the trunk, for example such as vertebral column and joints of the cervical region. The chapter also explains which muscles do animals have in their trunk.
    4. The book seems to be very interesting and good. I was a bit worried if the text would be too hard to understand. But it looks like the things are explained in a way that is easy to understand. Also pictures and drawings make it more fun to read and easier to understand.

  31. 1. K.M. Dyce, W.O. Sack, C.J.G. Wensing.4th edition 2010. Textbook Of Veterinary Anatomy. Missouri, USA: Saunders.

    2. I chose this book because I owned it. I had purchased it because the book was recommended in Veterinary schools in many countries. The book is about the common domestic animals anatomy and will hopefully help me in my first and second years anatomy studies.

    3. I started reading about the nervous system. At first the book explains introductory concepts, how living organisms must be able to react appropriately to changes in its environment if it is to survive. Then the structural elements; what the nervous system consists of and how it works. An appropriate environmental change provides a stimulus that is recognized by an receptor organ and the response to that recognition is performed by an effector organ. The receptor and effector organs are connected by a chain of neurons. The typical neuron is an elongated cell that consists of a cell body and various processes. There are two varieties of processes; axon and dendrite. There are multipolar, bipolar and pseudounipolar neurons. The different varieties of neurons have specific tasks according to their function. A multipolar neuron enables it to receive impulses from many sources. Interneuronal connections are known as synapses.

    4. My impressions of the book are that provides a quite descriptive explanation of how the body works. It is designed so that non-medically trained person can understand the processes explained. Of course you have to have some understanding of biology to comprehend the text, but it is not as complicated as you would think an anatomy book would be. The book gives an overview of the whole, for specifics you must look elsewhere.

  33. 1. Peter B. Hill. 2005. Small animal dermatology: a practical guide to the diagnosis and management of skin diseases in dogs and cats. London: Buttenworth-Heinemann.

    2. I chose this book because I am interested in cats and also their skin diseases. This book was available in library and it seemed interesting and helpful for me. Other books seemed not so interesting for me.

    3. I read a chapter about history taking. How clinicans must ask questions and avoid asking the question „Where does the animal scratch?“. Veterinarian must become familiar with dermatological vocabulary, but they do not speak clients using technical terminology that is not easily understood, so the clinician must become „bilingual“, using plain language for clients, and veterinary terminology for professional colleagues and medical records.
    Also the veterinarian must during the first few minutes of a consultation strike up an immediate professional relationship with the client.
    It is important to know the animal's age because some skin disorders can show age-related onset.
    You can also read what the owner's main complaint is, how to ascertain the severity of the pruritus etc.

    4. This book is very useful. When I started reading the book, it was very hard for me to understand it but now it is a little bit easier. Some words were in Latin and then I had to use several dictionaries to understand the text.

    In case you have got the book from the internet:

    2.I have chosen this book because it seemed to be interesting. Also because it connects with my hobbies. A little while ago I tought about massage techniques regarding to the horse behaviour and now when I saw the book I tought why not read it.
    3. As far as I have read the book it mostly talks about the origins of massage - how and when it started spreading. The book tries to explaine how massage techniques can be devided broadly into two main categories (Chinese medical techniques and Western massage)and how the techniques have improved by time. In the next chapter the author tries to explaine different methodologies. Massage has become increasingly popular recent years and the benefits are becoming recognized for both horse and rider.So there are many methods for different types of problems.
    4. I like the book. Mostly because I can get information that might be useful in my everyday life. Also I can get knowledge about reading horse behaviour.

  35. 1. I have chosen to read.„ Textbook of veterinary surgical nursing“
    Edited by Carole Martin and Jo Masters
    Published in Edinburgh, Butterworth- Heinemann/ Elsevaiser, 2007
    2. I chose this book because I am interested in surgical nursing. I think that this book can improve my vocabulary. It also gives me new knowledges which I can use in future.
    3.This is the textbook to focus on the medical nursing of small animals. So far I have read about surgical conditions and intraoperative management. Right now I have read chapter of anatomy which includes paragraphs of cutaneous, respiratory, alimentary and cardiovascular system.. First paragraph was about cutaneous system. It gives knowledges about skins structure, elasticity, thickness, hair follicles, sweat glands and how to heal it. Next paragraph gives information about respiratory system. This chapter is all about how animal breathing system works. I have also read chapter of alimentary system. This speaks how food pass trough animal body. Last chapter I read was about cardiovascular system. This chapter gives idea how important cardiovascular system is and how heart supplies animal body with blood.
    4. So far the book have been really fascinating and I have gained many new knowledges. I like construction of the book. First it gives review of animal body and then it gives information about surgical nursing. My favourite chapter was alimentary system because I gained most new knowledges from there.

    2.I chose that book, because it seems to me quite interesting. This book is useful from my specificaliation and in the future I have to know all these things, which are in that book. The book is full of good and important information to me.
    3.I decided to read a chapter about reproduction. This is one important part about all of our lives and without it we can´t exist anymore.
    So far I have read the text which is mostly about is males (but a little bit about females too). So, the essential reproductive function of the male is to produce male gametes (sperm) and deliver it to female. The role of the female in reproduction is more extensive than that of the male.
    There were also things like how the sex determination looks like and how the sex differentiation takes place, e.g. there are two ducts, the Müllerian duct and the Wolfian duct. The male develop Wolfian duct and the female Müllerian duct.
    Also the text is about puberty, pregnency and physiology of reproduction in the male.
    I have already read about structure of male reproductive organs, production of spermatozoa and hormonal aspects of sexual function in males.
    4.In that book there were much good information about everything I have to know in the future. It explaines everything very detailed and gives you good overview what happens in animal body. Also that book has very good illustrations to the text

    I chose the book because it seemed to be very comprehensive and accurate. I’ve also heard that many of the older students use this textbook.

    3.
    The nervous system exists because every living organism must be able to react appropriately to its environment. A nerve cell consists of the body of the cell, dendrites, an axon and axon terminals. The nervous impulse starts from the cell body, and travels through the axon all the way to the axon terminals, where the stimulus is transferred to another cell. The impulse is transferred by using transmitter substances.
    The nerves are divided into afferent and efferent nerves. The afferent nerves conduct impulses toward the spinal cord and particular brain parts. Efferent systems conduct the impulses away from them.
    The nervous system is also divided to a somatic system and a visceral system. The somatic system is used to all the functions that determine the relationship of the organism to the outside world (locomotion). The visceral system regulates the internal environment e.g. the heart rate and the glandular activity.

    4.
    At this point the book seems to be all that it promises: an accurate and up-to-date textbook of modern anatomy. After reading it a bit more, I can recommend it to everyone in our class. It definitely is worth buying, or at least reading.

    2. I chose this book because it is interesting and I think the information in the book may be very helpful to me later with my studies. I also chose this book because the text is formatted so that is easy to read. I chose to read the chapter about muscles because we will next study about muscles in anatomy.

    3. I read chapters about anatomy of the muscular system. Chapter goes through muscle types of muscle tissue, smooth, cardiac and striated muscle and how they work and where. It reveales how muscles are attached to bones and how the muscle fibers are arranged, strap, fusiform, uni-, bi- and multipennate. Chapter goes through functions of muscle groups, flexor, extensor, adductor and abductor. Chapter also shows how synovial works, where and why and how are they structured. However the main part of the chapter is describing muscles in thoracic and pelvic limb, head, neck and trunk. Muscles of every joint are described separately for example muscles acting on the shoulder joint.

    4. It has been pretty boring to read because the text is really medical or anatomical and little bit list like. However I learned a lot of muscles. Text and photos were nicely divided and concentrated to important issues.

    I have chosen to read a book called Zoo and Wild Animal Medicine: Current Therapy 6. Murray E. Fowler, R. Eric Miller. 2008. Saunders Elsevier. USA; Penny Rudolph.

    2.
    I chose the book because I am very interested in wild and exotic animals and wish to work with them one day. The book tells comprehensively about the main zoonooses and also gives lots of explains how to diagnose diseases by just observing the behavior of an animal (as wild animals attempt to mask all the singns that would reveal their physical condition). The book is not only about mammal medicine, it also has own sections for example for fish, birds and reptiles.

    3.
    At first I read a chapter called: Behavioral Clues for Detection of Illness in Wild Animals: Models in Camelids and Elephants. As often noted, wild animals may be in an advanced state of disease before clinical signs are evident. Wild animal veterinarians should make every effort to diagnose disease at its earliest stages, and at this point the knowledge about the behaviour of the particular species comes handy. The chapter focuses on camelids and elephants in discussing normal and altered behavior in relation to the health and well-being of the animal. Each species or animal group has a repertoire of actions that astute observers are capable of evaluating and classifying. Altered behavior is a key to detecting incipient illness.

    4.
    The book seems to be very informative and professional, and provides lots of information about many different illnesses specific for wild animals as well as wild animal behavior. I am totally in love with this book and definitely will be using it also for other things than the English course. There are also some pictures for better understanding.

    2. I have chosen this book because I am intrested in horses and their surgery and medicine. Also this book contains information that i might have to study in my later courses. Also this book is very detailed and well written.
    3. I started reading at the beginning of topic called THE EQUINE HEART IN HEALTH AND DISEASE. I have finished subtopics called Introduction and half of a subtopic called Methods of examination. Introduction contains information about history of veterinary cardiology, literature like ’Cardiovascular Dynamics’ that provide veterinarians clear understanding of the fundamental principles of the subject, description the appropiate aids to diagnosis and then, by co-ordinating his findings, build up his mental picture of beat-to-beat cardiac activity. Description how hear disease can affect the safety of riding a horse in thee important ways: (1) sudden collpase, (2) loss of stamina, and (3) loss of confidence of the rider in his mount. Methods of examination is divided into subtopics called: A. Palpation of the chest wall, B. Palpation of the pulses C. Jugular filling time(JFT) and D. Auscultation. Auscultation topic contains description of different stethoscopes an the most optimal stethoscopes and inferior instruments.
    4. The book is very scientific and contains a lot of medical vocabulary. Most topics also contain a lot of different graphs, which are difficult to read if you are not familiar of the topic. The book also requires basic anatomic knowledge.

  41. 1. The Welfare of Sheep.Edited by Cathy Dwyer. Published in 2008: Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

    2. I chose this book because I am interested in sheep, especially their behaviour patterns. My father has a sheep farm and I know something about their feeding, illnesses and other things, but I have never read materials about their psychology and behaviour and I would like to learn more about that.

    3. I have read about social organisation and behaviour and also about reproductive behaviour and found some interesting information. For example there is a hierarchy in social bonding: the strongest bond is between the dam and her young, the second assosiation is between siblings and then between unrelated peers. Sheep are higly social animals and separation from the flock is known to be particularly stressful. Sheep find social isolation to be more aversive than capture and restraint within a group of sheep. Although social contacts are important, the presence of other sheep, or of particular individuals, can be stressing .
    Sexual behaviour of sheep is best described by referring to the behaviour of ewes. This is separated into three components: 1) physical changes to attract the attention of the ram, 2) active search for and attraction towards the ram and 3)acceptance of mating attempts. Rams find ewes more attractive when they are receptive and they are not shorn. Both visual and olfactory cues are used by ram to select ewes in a flock.
    4. I liked this book, because I got a lot of interesting and useful information there. The vocabulary is quite specific, sometimes it was very hard to understand. But it was mostly understandable, because I have dealt with sheep myself and I know basic things about them.

    2. There wasnt any particular reason why I cjose this book. When I looked at it a little bit, it looked very interesting and I knew that it would be useful in the future. Also the book has a lot of pictures and graphs that makes understanding the book quite easy.

    3. The book is very big (1466 pages long), so I have managed to read only 2 chapters because all of the topics are very thorough and specific. Chapter is called Clinical Manifestations of Cardiac Disease. It talks about signs of heart disease, signs of heart failure etc. For example when a severe dyspnea appears on a cat, it causes the cat to open mouth breath, to have infrequent swallowing and the cat is reluctant to lie down During this condition the cat has dilated pupils associated with heightened sympathetic tone. Chapter II is called Diagnostic Tests for the Cardiovascular System. This chapter talks about different heart valves and how they show up on a ECG or how it should sound when heard by a stetoscope.

    4. Because the book is so big, I cannot make a general assumption. To this mark it looks very interesting but difficult because it has specific medical words that I dont know (yet!!!). I hope to read more from this book than is needed.

  43. 1. I have chosen to read a book of Bonnie Rush and Tim Mair, 2004, „Equine respiratory diseases“.
    2. I have chosen that book because there are quite a lot pictures and it seems interesting. Besides it is definitely useful for future. I will have to learn these things in few years, so if that happens it will be a little easier for me.
    3. It is very thick book but I decided to read it from the beginning. Diseases of the respiratory tract are common in horses of all ages and types. Respiration is a cellular activity, and the respiratory tract is the organ that permits respiration to take place. Any respiratory disfunction can cause a further decline in ventilation and gas exchange, and so respiratory diseases are a major cause of exercise intolerance and poor performance. The respiratory system is highly accesible for diagnostic testing and has a relatively faborable capacity for healing. The accessibility of the respiratory system allows clinicians to obtain a definitive diagnosis in most instances. Respiratory disorders typically respond favourably to approproate medical therapy and treatment options are well-charaterized in horses.
    The respiratory tract is relatively accesible to physical examination. Signalment is important to establish because some respiratory conditions are age-dependent, use-related or breed-predisposed. Examination of the equine respiratory tract is performed in a systematic manner.
    4. My impression of the book is positive. It seems very interesting so far. If I have time I would like to read it all, as it is quite substantial book. It will definitely get benefit from it.

  45. I have chosen to read a book by Lucy Spelman and Ted Mashima. 2008. "The Rhino With The Glue-On Shoes And Other Surprising True Stories Of Zoo Vets And Their Patients". New York: Bantam Dell.

    Even with all of the knowledge and technology available today are veterinarians at zoos, aquariums, and conservation areas often faced with questions they cannot answer: How do you feed an anorexic eel or what do you do with an animal in the Forest that you know is injured, but you can´t even find? "The Rhino With Glue-on Shoes" is a collection of true stories written by zoo vets who have faced these situations. Since I imagine myself in the future as a zoo vet, I couldn´t find a book more proper for an introduction to this kind of life, as described.

    "The Rhino with Glue-on Shoes" is a must read for animal loves. It gave me an insight of the world of animal care in zoos. It also made me think about the unspoken message in the book- whether these wild animals should be captive at all? The seahorses died because they were transported so they could be part of an acquarium's exhibits. The rhino in the zoo suffered feet problems he would not have had in the wild etc.
    Not every story in this book is a success story. Some of them don´t have endings-it’s unknown what happened to the animals that were encountered in the wild.
    Overall, The Rhino with Glue-on Shoes is packed with adventure, fun facts and danger.

    The book is divided into five sections.The first section, called "Close Connections", deals with the emotional side of clinical practice, revealing close bonds between vet and wild animal.
    Stories in this section concern an eel, a chimp, an orphan fawn, a bear cub, and a suddenly orphaned beluga.
    The very first of them, called „The Eel and the Bartender“, written by E. C. Nolan, deals with a green moray eel donated to the New England Aquarium in the 1990's by a bartender. Although a preliminary examination revealed the eel to be quite healthy , it refused to eat.
    In the second section, "Technology Helps", Spelman shows how vets creatively treat their patients .This section contains the essay the book was named after - The Rhino With the Glue-On Shoes.

    3. Give a brief summary of what you have read so far (approx. 100-150 words)

    I read a chapter called Disease Shared with Humans and Domestic Animals. The chapter mainly describes different zoonoses and how they transmit by several different ways. The role of various species as maintenance is important. There are three different types of animals that has become infected: maintenance hosts, spillover hosts and dead-end hosts. Many infectious diseases that occur in wild animals also infect humans and domestic animals. Diseases may move in all directions: from wild animals to human, human to wild animals, wild to domestic animals, domestic to wild animals and so on. Protecting yourself against zoonoses is important, common sense and simple precautions should be used when working with wild animals.

    4. What are your impressions of the book? (Write at least 3 sentences)

    The chapter I read was very interesting and educational and I learned lots of zoonoses. Text was pretty easy to understand and there were only few new terms.

  47. 1. What book have you chosen to read? Will you, please, give the full reference to the book according to the following pattern:
    Author. Year. Title. The place it was published: The name of the publisher.

    I've chosen to read the Large Animal Neurology by Joe Mayhew, 2008. Publisher Wiley-Blackwell, place United Kingdom.

    2. Why have you chosen that particular book? (Explain your choice in at least 3 sentences)

    I chose this book, because I'm interested in neurological deseases in horses. Our own horses have had a rare neurological disorder, and I wanted to learn more from it. I believed that this book could give me some more information.

    3. Give a brief summary of what you have read so far (approx. 100-150 words)

    First I read about how the nervous system works: the three basic functions that are performed by nervous systems are to receive sensory input from internal and external environments, then integrate the input and then to respond to it. After that, I moved on to the neurological diseases, and how they occur and what are they caused by. Neurological causes are specific or non-specific. Often the symptoms can be similar to many different diagnoses, but the history of the patient should help to separate the diseases. Neurological diseases are divided into congenital and acquired neurological diseases as well as biochemical, or other causes such as trauma and infection-related diseases. Assessment of disease prognosis is also important, as it could possibly avoid unnecessary, inefficient and expensive treatments. One should also remember that just by looking at the neurological symptoms can mislead diagnose.

    4. What are your impressions of the book? (Write at least 3 sentences)

    The book was interesting, and the cd that was included helped me to understand the symptoms better. The language in the book was really hard to understand because of the veterinarian words are not yet all clear to me. The pictures in the book were good.

    brain / aju
    cerebral hemispheres / aju poolkerad

    I have read so far abaught sence organs. It tells that a stadle animal experiences few environmental changes but it is quite different with a wild animal, which, if it is to survive, must constantly check its enviroment. That is why different sence organs are developed differently in different animals. For example the eye, the organ of vision, is located differently with predators and preys. The eyeball is differently shaped with different animals. The ear is appropriately called the vestibulocochlear organ, since it is not only a hearing organ it is also a organ of balance. The ear consists of inner ear, middle ear and external ear.
    4. What are your impressions of the book?
    I think that the book is good and full of facts. It haves good pictures that help to understand the text. The text is quite easy understand.

  49. 1. I have chosen to read Veterinary anatomy of domestic mammals (König, Liebich, 4th Edition 2009), Germany.

    2. It is a very good anathomy book and I think it will be useful to me during our anathomy course and also in the future.

    3. I have been reading about skeleton and joints of the thoracic limb. All bones and joints are introduced very precisely, and there are also very much information about differences in structures between domestic animals. Fore example in metacarbal bones, there are lots of differences between domestic mammals: in the horse only metacarpal bone III is fully developed, in the pig metacarpal bone III and IV are welldeveloped etc.

    4. I think that the book is very good. It is easy to read and there are also a lot of good pictures.

  50. Part 3. I have read about dogs original use purpose is different than thousands of years ago. A dog life and our own life have changed. Nowadays, a breeder is responsible for puppies that are for sale. Puppies should be healthy, beautiful, suited for the purpose and breeder has to know what puppy is best for this family. According to the law dogs are things.
    Breeding bitch has to be of an excellent type physically, mentally and in her pedigree. Then it is important to choose a male who will fit well with this bitch. It depends on where this male lives and then it is time to decide on the mating method: natural mating, inseminating with fresh chilled semen or inseminating with frozen semen. Certainly, in any case the bitch has to be in heat and it has to be the right time for fertilazing.
    The breeder has to provide the pregnant bitch with normal life and high quality food. When the time of birth is near, everything has to be ready for a new life.
