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.” (

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.
