This guide to working with exotic animals can be used by trainees, veterinary technicians, and practicing veterinarians in classroom or clinic settings. It offers step-by-step descriptions of common procedures for exotic pet species, accompanied by b&w and color photos and anatomical illustrations on every page. Material is in sections on avian species, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, wildlife rehabilitation, and avian and reptile hematology. Species chapters give extensive information on anatomy and physiology, husbandry, common disorders, and restraint and physical exam, as well as radiology, anesthesia and surgery, emergencies, and sample collection techniques. This second edition is updated to reflect current practice, with new information on skunks, sugar gliders, and prairie dogs. About 50 pages of appendices provide contacts for permit offices, sample forms, notes on handling and wrapping, identification guides, species care sheets, and wildlife product sources. A companion web site offers review questions, links, downloadable forms and charts, and PowerPoint figures. Ballard is program director, and Cheek is a veterinary technologist and instructor, at Gwinnett Technical College. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
