i have little miller's, but i also see a lot of people reccommend the color anatomy text by Done.

anybody with experience from anatomy let me know what you think. i'll be a first year this fall, so just wanted to check to see if the other text was a help to anyone or not before i get it.

thanks! :]

I really like Dyce's veterinary anatomy book and also Pasquini's (a colouring book style). Neither are specific to the dog, but both are excellent IMO.

I love, love, love my full-color illustration "Anatomy of the Dog" by Budras. I ended up buying 2 more copies to give to my anatomy profs so that they would stop walking off with mine.

Here is my Amazon listmania list. I have all of the texts that I found useful during first year at MSU.

That reminds me - I also have "Colour Atlas of Clinical Anatomy of the Dog and Cat" by J.S. Boyd (my anatomy professor who is now retired). I have seen that American-schooled vets also own this book, and it really is useful for dissection and every-day-use. (Colour photos of carcasses, labeled).

I really like the Done/Goody atlas. It's no substitute for time spent in lab learning, but IMO it's MUCH better than using B&W line drawings. (The large animal versions are not as helpful for LA anatomy, however.)

At Tufts, Little Millers is our lab manual. It's moderately helpful. They also recommend that we use Big Millers, which the true anatomy nerds enjoyed, but I (a C+ student) found that I never had time to read it. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic text, but I find it much more helpful now that I have more spare time than I did when I was actually taking anatomy. If you have time to read your syllabus, a lab manual, AND Big Millers, more power to you and you will probably do fantastically in your anatomy course.

I also used a coloring book that I can't remember the name of nor do I have handy right now. It had a brownish cover with blue trim and was specific to dog anatomy. Somewhat helpful.

We also had a CD-ROM from CSU about neuroanatomy which was REALLY helpful in learning cranial nerve anatomy later on in the course. If you can get your hands on it, it would be really helpful.
