I've never read that particular one but in general most vet. pharmaceutical info doesn't include much if any dosage info for reptiles. I suppose you could try emailing the publisher to see if that one contains reptile-specific dosages. For the most part I see more vets refer to this website than any books:

Thanks for the link eyespy. I'll have to save it and print it out for future reference.

I had a site bookmarked that had dosages for reptiles for every drug imaginable. Erg!!! Just got my computer back yesterday )and its going back in today :rolleyes: ) and all the bookmarks are gone :confused:

[eyespy]

My favorite bookmark is a dead link now anyhow, it was a bigger chart of Elliot Jacobsen's work and contained antiparasitics, antifungals, gout meds, etc. in a lot more detail.

If that's the one you lost, so did everybody else. ;)

Thanks guys!

Chuck , hook it up!

i was hoping that the book would be useful, as i wanted to add it to my collection, it looked like it was put together fairly well.

anyways, thanks for the links guys!

I have the big veterinary book of reptile medicine by Mader and the exotic animal formulary by AAHA. They are both very good in my opinion.
