Product Description
This book provides a comprehensive text covering all aspects of guinea pig medicine. This updated edition will be of value to veterinary surgeons and students, veterinary nurses, breeders and all those working in the animal care industry. Written in note form the book assists in the formulation of a diagnostic plan when the practitioner is faced with a sick animal. Sections on clinical signs, diagnoses and treatments, allow rapid reference in successive chapters on the reproductive, digestive, respiratory, musculoskeletal and urinary systems, the skin, head and neck, nervous system and husbandry.

All the latest drug information has been included and full details of dose rates, contraindications and components of the proprietary preparations are listed in chapter 11. A new chapter has been written providing information on herbal and homeopathic remedies.

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.
