The stated aim of this 546-page text is to allow you to treat all exotic pets confidently, using the most cutting-edge information and all within one comprehensive resource. The pages are all glossy and there are over 400 colour pictures and the page edges are colour coded to allow the relevant sections to be readily accessed. The first two chapters give an introduction to the subject and help in preparing the veterinary surgery to treat these patients. The rest of the nineteen chapters each cover a separate species or linked group of species. This is a book that will fi nd a place in my own library. It is certainly worth considering if you only intend to have one book on exotic pets, and is a good and reasonably comprehensive introduction to the subject. If you have an interest in one particular species or group of species then there are more specialist texts available, and this is recognised by the authors, who do provide guidance on further reading. - European Journal of Companion Animal Practice, August 2008
This practical, user-friendly resource provides essential informationn on the care and treatment of the most common exotic pets presented in practice. The colour images in this manual as well as the numerous tables on drugs makes this book very practical to use for students and veterinarians working with exotic pets. - European Association of Zoo and Wildlife Veterinarians, July 2008
