That is a HUGE question, and is very open to interpretation and subjective opinion.
Parasitology I like Georgi's
Anatomy, I like Pasquini and Millers Guide to the Dissection of the Dog
Physiology, Nothing beat Guyton, but that is for Human Physiology, Dukes Physiology of Domestic Animals is a great additional resource, but I find the readings and diagrams incredibly dry, and wouldn't recommend it as a sole book.
For histology, any old book would do IMO
Pathology, Don't know the name, but its a HUGE book, called Pathology for Veterinary Students or something (its not in front of me, but I will edit it in at a later date).
Umm... thats about all I regularly use, other then that I just learn from provided PPT's.

Many schools have a "big sib" program where they pair you up with a second year student. They can better give individual advice to you about what textbooks are *really* worth your time and money. Just seeing what a lot of students eventually keep on their book shelves at their eventual clinics is going to be variable, but in general, more second year medicine/surgery type books are kept than first year books.
Personally, for anatomy, I think pasquini is a very good book for diagrams, but as far as for content I would have to recommend Dyce. Millers is ok but has numerous anatomical errors and mis labelings. I would recommend wheaters functional histology for a good histo book. It is for human med, but is a very good book. I also have the insanely large pathology book, but don't use it much right now as a first year.
