Description
Addresses the common questions and concerns of the practicing veterinarian who works with small mammals. Serves as a useful reference
for veterinary students, technicians, research scientists, pet shop owners, pet owners, and breeders. Because preventive medicine is
crucial to small mammal medicine, coverage includes basic biology, husbandry, and routine care of the healthy animal. Also features chapters
on disease management, surgery, and radiology.
