Blackwell's Five-Minute Veterinary Consult: Small Mammal
brings together a wide range of information on diseases commonly seen
in small exotic mammals into a single, accessible resource. With
consistency and broad coverage unparalleled by other texts, this new
edition adds sections on chinchillas, guinea pigs, and rodents to the
existing rabbit and ferret topics to offer complete coverage of these
popular, yet less commonly treated, species. Detailed, up-to-date
information on the diagnosis and treatment options for all disorders
commonly encountered in exotic companion animals is readily accessible,
making this a go-to reference for any veterinarian seeing small exotic
mammals, regardless of their experience level with these species.
Divided into sections by species, topics are organized alphabetically,
with a standardized layout that makes it easy to find information. The
Second Edition includes access to customizable Client Education
Handouts, which can be downloaded and used in the veterinary clinic, on a
companion website at www.wiley.com/go/oglesbee. This
book is an essential purchase for general practitioners treating exotic
companion animals, exotic animal veterinarians, and veterinary
students.
