Product Description

Although a lot has been written on the rabbit, much is anecdotal and aimed at the pet owner rather than the veterinarian. Textbook of Rabbit Medicine however, has been specifically written for the veterinary practitioner, using evidence-based material andproviding a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting pet rabbits. Basic husbandry, behaviour and nutrition are explained within the concept of health and disease. Essential information on biology and physiology is also provided. Unique illustrations based on original dissections offer an additional insight into this complex animal.

Frances Harcourt-Brown is a veterinary surgeon with a specific interest in rabbits. She is widely recognised as an expert and has been acclaimed for her research - receiving several awards, including the BSAVAs Melton award for meritorious contribution to small animal practicefor her work on dental disease in pet rabbits. Textbook of Rabbit Medicine says all there is to say about the pet rabbit: it is an essential purchase for every veterinary practitioner.

With illustrations by Nigel Harcourt-Brown

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb and comprehensive guide to rabbit medicine, 8 Jun 2004

By	"skipper322" - See all my reviews

Frances Harcourt-Brown is a highly respected vet with many years' experience in general practice, and is well known as an expert on rabbits, having published various influential papers on rabbit disease. As a small animal vet who sees more rabbits than most, I have found this book absolutely invaluable. It comprehensively covers all areas of rabbit medicine, and deals both with well-understood and simple conditions, and with those poorly understood at the time of publication (such as Encephalitozoon cuniculi). The illustrations are clear and helpful.
Although the book is clearly written, it is certainly intended for vets rather than pet owners, and I would think it would provide far more detail than the average pet owner would require. Another consideration is that Mrs Harcourt-Brown is British; for me, that's an advantage, but I don't know how many drugs, etc that she mentions would be readily available in other countries. Also, this is a book of medicine, and as such doesn't cover surgical techniques in any detail.
However, I would highly recommend this book to any vet who seriously wants to consolidate their knowledge of rabbit medicine. All veterinary textbooks are expensive, but in my opinion this one more than justifies its cost. I can't think of a case I've treated where it didn't provide me with at least some helpful information.

5.0 out of 5 stars best rabbitbook, 18 Nov 2004

By	Eva Tuer (Manchester United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about rabbit medicine. I have also read the BSAVA manual of rabbit medicine and found Harcourts book giving far more value for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for vets!, 24 Mar 2006

By	Lloyd (UK) - See all my reviews

This book is suitable for rabbit owners who are interested in the health of their pet and want to learn more. Worth every penny, as everything and anything about rabbits is included in this book. If its not in here, I wouldn't believe it.
