Summary:

This thoroughly revised, up-to-date text covers the diagnosis and treatment of all zoo animal species or exotic wildlife, including amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and camelidae unlikely to be seen by the private-practice veterinarian. Logically organized by taxonomic groups, the consistent, user-friendly format provides information on each animal's biology, unique anatomy, special physiology, restraint and handling, special housing requirements, feeding, surgery and anesthesia, diagnostics, and diseases.
