Beschreibung

Exotic Small Mammal Care and Husbandry is a practical reference for assessing, handling, and treating small exotic animals in the veterinary clinic. Covering common species such as mice, hamsters, rabbits, and ferrets, the book focuses on the basics of well-being in these less-common patients, including housing, nutrition, enrichment, and diseases. With information on basic anatomy, preventative care, and common diseases, Exotic Small Mammal Care and Husbandry provides a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of caring for small exotic mammals and communicating with owners.

In addition to introductory chapters with general information on the enrichment of these species and preventative medicine, the bulk of the book is devoted to species-specific chapters. Each species chapter takes a common format for ease of use, with information encompassing common breeds, reproduction, clinical techniques, treatment, and laboratory values. Exotic Small Mammal Care and Husbandry is a useful guide for veterinary technicians and veterinarians seeing a wide range of small exotic patients.
