"This is a nupdated and expandedhird edition of the well know 'pink book' many practitioners reach for when presented with a small mammal...The content is well written, referenced, and presented in an easily accessible manner with a practical focus.The layout is clean and there are many colour and black and white photographs complemented by line drawings and illustrations, charts and radiographs, which are of consistently high quality...I believe the edition succeeded in their mission to provide 'up-to-date in formation reader-friendly, comprehensive yet concise format'...Ths long awaited refresh will likely restore the 'pink book' being an essential and regularly consulted text for veterinarians dealing with small mammals in practice."
