5.0 out of 5 stars A very worthwhile publication, 15 Nov 2001

By	m.coward@react.org.uk (England) - See all my reviews

For the avid breeder, this is a really informative publication. Though technical, it provides a wealth of information and provides specific information in terms of suitable medication for cavies .. something a breeder finds extremely useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit more than just info, 26 Mar 2009

By	M. Russell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very comprehensive book for the treatment of Guinea Pigs, more of a vet. book and certainly not for the part time keeper

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source of information, 21 Jan 2008

By	C. Barber (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an avid cavy keeper, not breeder, I've found this book very useful. Specific conditions are covered, mostly being broken down into: clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis etc. Because it's part of the Library of Veterinary Practice, this book goes into detail where most other mainstream books do not. Very good value too, considering medical books specific to cavies are not easy to find.
