Reddit reviews Veterinary Anatomy Coloring Book

I agree with the coloring book. I have this one and it’s super detailed and covers almost all species.

I personally wouldn't recommend you rush into things.....there will be enough textbooks and information once you're there. More than enough.

If you want to do something to sort of keep you motivated and in the mood, why not try something that's rather lightweight and maybe even fun - something like an anatomy colouring book (animal anatomy of course, like this one (https://www.amazon.com/Veterinary-Anatomy-Coloring-Book-2e/dp/145577684X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1485182872&sr=1-1&keywords=veterinary+anatomy+coloring+book). Have some fun while you're learning. Or pick up an inexpensive and small surgical instrument kit and practice picking up and manipulating things with hemostats and forceps (pile washers on a wooden dowel, attach a nut onto a screw, etc).

Or maybe read something that is tangential, but not medical - like philosophy or ethics. Or something that is unrelated to vet school but might be really useful as a vet, like business or management.

I'd recommend you don't just get some veterinary textbooks and study from them like you're in school, because you don't need to give yourself extra years of study.
