I'm taking human anatomy & physiology in my undergrad but in my current shadowing position at a veterinary surgical clinic I feel I would appreciate surgical procedures better if I had a more thorough understanding of, in my case, canine and feline anatomy and some basic physiology. I have been relying on background knowledge & online resources mostly as well as diagrams from the clinic, but I really like just reading a book and looking at labeled drawings the old fashion way.
Anyone have a favorite textbook they've used for learning small animal anatomy? Or even like one of those anatomical coloring/labeling books?
The area I personally am most concerned with understanding is the stifle. They do a lot of TPLOs and when they are looking at the stifle on the scope I can't tell meniscus from cruciate and therefore can't really follow along with how the surgeon is determining the extent of a possible CCL rupture. The doctor I work for likes to use everything's latin name, too, so I would love to be able to follow along with him when he starts using that terminology.
