From budgies and cockatiels to chipmunks and chinchillas, our interest in exotic pets has rocketed in recent years. With the house rabbit being the UK's third most commonly kept pet after the cat and dog, and sales in small mammals, reptiles and birds continuing to grow, exotic pets have now become a specialist area of veterinary practice in their own right. Veterinary Nursing of Exotic Pets is the first book to address the immediate need for a definitive reference book devoted entirely to the principles and applications of nursing exotic species. Developed from a City and Guild's course, it not only covers husbandry, nutrition and handling, but also explores in detail anatomy, chemical restraint and an overview of diseases and treatments. The first book on nursing exotic species Aimed specifically at veterinary nurses and technicians Developed from the City and Guild's certificate syllabus An essential reference tool for students and practitioners.
