DESCRIPTION

An up-to-date and practical resource for the diagnosis and treatment of exotic companion mammal diseases and conditions

The revised third edition of Blackwell’s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult: Small Mammal provides key information on diseases and conditions commonly seen in small exotic mammals in a concise, accessible format. Each identically formatted topic presents essential details for diagnosing and treating these common pets. The Third Edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, and adds hedgehogs and sugar gliders to the existing rabbit, rodent, ferret, chinchilla, and guinea pig coverage.

The book is organized alphabetically for easy access by busy practitioners and students. A companion website offers client handouts that can be downloaded and distributed to clients.

Readers will find:

• Fast access to key information for the treatment of small exotic pets

• Concise descriptions of a wide range of diseases and conditions seen in these species

• Detailed, up-to-date information on diagnostic and treatment options

• Extensive appendices, including common dosages and normal values for a variety of exotic companion mammals

• Client education handouts on the companion website, covering topics like chronic, intermittent diarrhea in rabbits and dental malocclusion in guinea pigs

Designed for small animal general veterinary practitioners, exotic animal veterinarians, and laboratory animal veterinarians, Blackwell’s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult: Small Mammal’s consistency and broad coverage benefits anyone involved in providing veterinary care to exotic companion mammals.
