Riassunto

This is an entirely revised edition of this ever popular title. The text covers diagnosis and treatment of all zoo and wild animals, (amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, camelidae). The book is organized by species with the same general format throughout, to make it user friendly for the reader, (biology, unique anatomy, special physiology, restraint and handling, special housing requirements, feeding, surgery and anesthesia, diagnostics, diseases).

Zoo and Wild Animal Medicine 5e remains the one point of call for all student zoo veterinarians, wildlife veterinarians, wildlife biologists, rehabilitators, and general practitioners. The global author base makes this the ideal text for all.
