Learn the principles and practice of veterinary nursing for exotic pets and wildlife
The third edition of Veterinary Nursing of Exotic Pets and Wildlife is a revised and expanded update of the essential text for veterinary nurses caring for exotic pets and wildlife species.
Organised into logical sections, the text covers the anatomy and physiology, housing, husbandry, handling, nutrition, diseases, therapeutics, diagnostic imaging, and critical care medicine of a wide variety of exotic species, as well as a an entirely new section on wildlife treatment and rehabilitation.
From small mammals like rabbits and mice to avian species, reptiles, amphibians, and Eurasian wildlife species, the author includes everything you need to succeed as a veterinary nurse studying for the RCVS nursing syllabus, as well as postgraduate and advanced programs in Veterinary Nursing of Zoo, Exotics, and Wildlife species.
Readers will find:
- Information on common exotic pet species, such as rabbits, rodents, African pygmy hedgehogs, lizards, snakes, tortoises and cage birds
- An entirely new section on wildlife species, including chemical restraints, therapeutics, and rehabilitation
- A focus on evidence-based care practice and the latest guidance for veterinary nursing
- Appendices, including nursing care plans for exotic pets and wildlife with filled out example cases
Veterinary Nursing of Exotic Pets and Wildlife is essential reading for both students and practitioners, and the new edition remains the gold standard in the field of veterinary nursing.
