BSAVA Manual of Exotic Pets (P00096)

5th edition
Edited by: Anna Meredith and Cathy Johnson-Delaney

This long-awaited new edition is the Foundation Manual for information across the range of exotic pets, from small mammals, through birds, reptiles and amphibians, to invertebrates. Commoner pets, such as rabbits, rodents and budgies retain their place. However, the ever-increasing range of non-traditional pets encountered by the veterinary surgeon in practice is reflected in coverage of new groups such as marsupials, ratites and crocodilians.

 

• Biology, husbandry, handling and restraint
• Diagnostic approach to common conditions
• Supportive care
• Anaesthesia and analgesia
• Common surgical procedures
• Euthanasia
• Drug formulary
