Description
Exotic Animal Medicine: A Quick Reference Guide provides readily accessible, user-friendly information for veterinarians who do not have
detailed knowledge of the majority of exotic pet species. The book gives the key points on differential diagnoses and diagnostics, along
with background information on a wide variety of exotic pets. It is formatted so that, whether experienced with exotics or not, the clinician
can at a glance view the likely conditions to be encountered within that species or animal group; develop a potential differential diagnosis
list quickly; initiate an investigational plan; and view treatment regimes. Species covered include ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas,
pet rats, hamsters and other small rodents; parrots, budgerigars and related species, canaries, finches, toucans; lizards, snakes, tortoises
and turtles, frogs, salamanders; pond fish, tropical freshwater fish and tropical marine fish.
