Description
Extensive coverage on all of the exotic species brings cutting edge information into one comprehensive resource. Clear and precise information about treating and handling exotics gives practitioners who are not experienced the necessary guidance to treating the most commonly seen disorders. The full color treatment in the book enables practitioners to better diagnose and treat exotics by demonstrating the unique anatomy of each species in detail, especially in addressing various body systems. The information is organized by species and each chapter has a consistent format. The logical organization helps the reader to quickly find the species he's looking for and to easily locate specific information within the chapter. Provides veterinarians, especially those who don't have much experience working with exotics, with essential information on how to properly prepare their staff and waiting rooms for exotics and the equipment they will need to treat them. Provides life-saving information on CPR, drugs, respiratory distress, and supportive care for exotic animals in distress. The Avian section will be expanded to approach the level of coverage for small mammals and reptiles. It will now feature four all-new chapters on Psittacines and passerines, Raptors, Waterfowl, and Chickens. New chapter on Prairie Dogs provides essential information on these increasingly popular exotic pets. All chapters will be thoroughly updated, ensuring that the reader is provided with the most up-to-date content on exotic pets. New expert authors will contribute information in their areas of expertise, ensuring that this book contains current, authoritative information on each species.
