The Tenth Edition of this text, Veterinary Medicine, marks the passing of an era. For the first time Professor D. C. Blood, the originator of this text, is not a contributor and author. Doug
Blood has had a passion for veterinary science and over the past 60 years he has made a remarkable contribution to the science of clinical veterinary medicine and to the profession of veterinary medicine. Not the least of these contributions is this text, in print for the past 45 years. He has taught clinical veterinary medicine to 40 years of veterinary students. The undergraduate education of all four of the senior authors of this edition has been
profoundly impacted by Doug Blood's teaching and philosophy and the period of time of this influence ranges from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. 


Our postgraduate education and experience has also had significant influence from Doug Blood and we reflect on his influence on the profession and dedicate this edition to him.
