Current Therapy in Exotic Pet Practice

Thomas N. Tully, Mark Mitchell

Description

This brand-new, full-color reference is a foundational text for veterinarians and veterinary students learning about companion exotic animal diseases. Organized by body system, Current Therapy in Exotic Pet Practice walks students through the most relevant information concerning the diagnosis and treatment of exotic animals — including the most relevant information on anatomy, physical examination, diagnostic testing, disease conditions, therapeutics, epidemiology of diseases, and zoonoses. Topics such as captive care, current standards of care for all exotic species, veterinary clinical epidemiology, and the effective prevention and management of infectious diseases are also included.

• Expert guidance on treating various disease conditions provides authoritative support for veterinarians who are less experienced in companion exotic pet care.
• Renowned authors and editors carefully selected topics of real clinical importance. 
• Detailed coverage on how to identify and treat diseases (from common to rare) helps alleviate apprehension a veterinarian may feel when treating an unfamiliar species.
• Includes the latest information from the current scientific literature and addresses hot topics associated with treating companion exotic animals today.
• Vivid full-color images demonstrate the unique anatomic and medical features of each group of animals covered.

Dedication
I dedicate this book to my wife, Lorrie, and children, Mary and RJ. You are the true joys of my life! Because of your love, I feel that I can achieve anything. I would also like to thank my co-editor Tom Tully for being the big chief. If everybody had the opportunity to have a mentor like Tom, the world would be a much better place.
Mark A. Mitchell
I dedicate this book to Susie, Claudia, and Fiona Tully. Anything I accomplish is a direct result of the love and support I receive from my wife, Susie, and two lovely daughters, Claudia and Fiona. I cannot thank my family enough for their patience and understanding while I am working on projects, such as this book, late at night, early in the mornings, and on weekends. Finally to the lead co-editor of this text, Mark Mitchell, who is an amazing colleague who is always a joy to work with and an inspiration to achieve more than you believe possible-thank you!
