Rodents and ferrets. Diseases and treatment

This guide to the treatment of rodents and ferrets is another well-prepared, worked and practical book from the "Practice of the Veterinary Doctor".
The publication of this book is a response to a sharply increased number of rodents and ferrets contained as pets, and accordingly increased demand for specialized veterinary care. For veterinary doctors, surveys and treatment of rodents and ferrets are strongly complicated due to a small size, exposure to stress and short natural life expectancy of these species compared with traditional pets.
In this comprehensive practical guide, details are told about the most common types of rodents: mice, rats, hamsters and sands, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degu, and there is also a separate section dedicated to more rare rodents.
Due to the principal differences between the group of types of rodents and ferrets, the book is represented in two sections. Each of the sections begins with the description of the biology of the species, conditions of detention, as well as clinical techniques (including anesthesia and surgery), followed by chapters organized by organs and described common diseases.
In the final part of the book, a useful application is a differential diagnosis on the basis of clinical signs in rodents and home ferrets.
High-quality color images and multiple tables are complemented and expanded text written by an international team of authors with extensive clinical practice.
