Product Description

Review
“A well–written, informative text packed with information related to a variety of exotic species. One of the many strong points of this book is the emphasis the author places on anatomical and physiological properties of each species. It will serve as an excellent reference for a growing segment of companion animal medicine. It contains up–to–date, usable information related to husbandry and medical procedures for a variety of vertebrate species. This text would be a valuable addition to the libraries of veterinary students, veterinarians, wildlife students, and anyone else involved in wildlife rehabilitation.” (Journal of Wildlife Diseases, October 2008)

Product Description
From budgies and cockatiels to chipmunks and chinchillas, our interest in exotic pets has rocketed in recent years. With the house rabbit being the UK’s third most commonly kept pet after the cat and dog, and sales in small mammals, reptiles and birds continuing to grow, exotic pets have now become a specialist area of veterinary practice in their own right.

Veterinary Nursing of Exotic Pets is the first book to address the need for a definitive reference book devoted entirely to the principles and applications of nursing exotic species. Developed from a City and Guild’s course, it not only covers husbandry, nutrition and handling, but also explores anatomy and chemical restraint, and provides an overview of diseases and treatments.

5.0 out of 5 stars A genuinely useful and accessible book., 17 Mar 2004
This book is head and shoulders above other manuals aimed at encompassing exotics as a single subject, it contains useful information for owners, nurses and non specialised vets on everything from diet and environmental conditions to anatomy (something I have yet to find in other books) and medical and surgical tips. The book is well illustrated with both line drawings and photographs (my favorite being the hamster in the elizabethan collar) which makes it easy to use.
The text is clear, concise and easy to follow, it does not head off into technical terms without explaining them first, and each section develops in a logical and step like manner. This is a book that can either be referred to for a required piece of information or read as an informative text.
