Logically organized by taxonomic groups, this up-to-date text Fowler’s Zoo and Wild Animal Medicine, Volume 8, covers the diagnosis and treatment of all zoo animal species and free-ranging wildlife, including amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and fish, unlikely to be seen by private practice veterinarians. Featuring full-color images, the consistent, user-friendly format supplies information on each animal’s biology, unique anatomy, special physiology, reproduction, restraint and handling, housing requirements, nutrition and feeding, surgery and anesthesia, diagnostics, therapeutics, and diseases.

The ‘Zoological Information Management System’ chapter offers the latest update on this brand new system that contains a worldwide wealth of information. 825 p.
