The objective of this book is to present a concise collection of important aspects of veterinary medicine in a manner that everyone can easily understand. This book contains more than 3000 questions with a “Quick Review” of the subject providing new information from the latest book and literatures. Multiple type questions from different units including general medicine, diagnosis, prevention and control of animal diseases, diseases of digestive system, diseases of cardiovascular and pulmonary system, diseases of urinary system, diseases of nervous system, diseases of musculoskeletal/integumentary system, metabolic and deficiency diseases, common toxicities in animals, infectious diseases (bacterial, viral, mycoplasmal, chlamydial, rickettsial and fungal, parasitic and poultry diseases), veterinary jurisprudence and ethics, common diseases of zoo, laboratory animals, wildlife and special therapeutic approaches. This book has been thoroughly revised keeping in mind the requirements of students preparing for ICAR PG entrance examination and ICAR-NET. My special effort, while compiling the book, was including as many novel questions as possible and putting some of the reasoning questions just to motivate the students to go in the depth of topic.
