would agree with the above book and also if you are doing a lot of bloods there is one called The Atlas of veterinary haematology and another one I have had for years I will just look out for you

http://www.amazon.com/Laboratory-Procedures-Veterinary-Technicians-Charles/dp/0323013961/ref=cm_lmf_tit_4/183-0562239-8246606 I have this book, but the newer edition and would well recommend it. Lots of colour pics, tests are explained clearly and detailed. It's American so some of the tests aren't carried out here often/at all but its still more than useful to have to hand.

As for the PDQ book, I didn't find it particularly useful for VNs. I had a look through one belonging to a new grad and it was invaluable to them as its very much diagnostic-aimed, but for nurses it probably isn't a great deal of help.
