Riassunto

Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician, Second Edition is a comprehensive yet clear introduction to exotic animal practice for technicians in the classroom and clinic setting alike. With an emphasis on the exotic species most likely to present to a veterinary practice, the book offers easy-to-follow descriptions of common procedures and techniques. Covering information ranging from anatomy, restraint, and common diseases to radiology, surgical assisting, and parasitology, Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician provides technicians with all the information necessary to confidently and competently treat exotic patients.

Now fully updated to reflect current practices in exotic animal medicine, this revised edition includes new information on birds, especially avian behavior and enrichment, aviary management, and avian reproduction; additional information on snake reproduction; more information on skunks, sugar gliders, and prairie dogs; and an increased emphasis on husbandry and nutrition. Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician, Second Edition, is an invaluable reference for trainees and working veterinary technicians as well as practicing veterinarians.

Recensione:

"This book contains helpful information for veterinary technicians about exotic animals, including the importance of a good history and the ability to provide the client with accurate information. It is written for veterinary technicians with little experience with exotic animals, but it also would be helpful for students and beginning practitioners." ( Doody′s, July 2010)
