Richly illustrated chapters cover anatomy, physiology, behaviour, husbandry, reproduction, common diseases and disorders, and much more. Application in a clinical setting is emphasized throughout, including guidance on the physical examination, diagnostic testing and imaging, treatment options, and anaesthetic and surgical techniques.

    Practical quick-reference guide—ideal for the busy, first-opinion veterinary practitioner
    Richly illustrated in full colour throughout
    Edited by a team of highly experienced exotic animal veterinarians
