Description
This reference gives the small animal practitioner a complete information source for the basics of avian medicine and surgery. It pulls
together the international expertise of the avian veterinary community by incorporating the knowledge of authors world-wide. The first
six chapters cover the basic medical information needed to run a primary care avian practice. The focus here is on introductory level
material and the average companion animal practice. If you see between one and five birds a week, this text is for you. The later chapters
are species-specific and help the veterinarian in evaluating, treating, and/or referring various bird species. The new edition builds
on the success of the first edition and includes full colour illustrations throughout.
