• NEW! All new chapters on marmosets and tamarins, hedgehogs, and sugar gliders provide up-to-date coverage of exotic species you may encounter in the clinic.
• NEW! Thoroughly updated and expanded coverage of exotic species and the problems that may plague them helps you develop a potential differential diagnosis list quickly and seek appropriate care for exotic animals, such as: ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, pet rats, hamsters and other small rodents; parrots, budgerigars and related species, canaries, finches, toucans; lizards, snakes, tortoises and turtles, frogs, salamanders; pond fish, tropical freshwater fish and tropical marine fish.

The Quick Reference Guide to Exotic Pet Medicine was conceived to aid the veterinary clinician to professionally and quickly deal with a wide array of exotic pets and their problems. It allows the veterinarian to create a diagnostic and treatment plan in a short space of time for a wide range of exotic pets, some of which he or she may not be familiar with. This second edition has been updated to include advances in our knowledge of exotic animal dis-eases and also includes three new chapters covering hedgehogs, common marmosets, and sugar gliders.

The approach is hoped to be a practical one, combining both clinical signs and/or an organ system perspective. Thus a parrot may present with a loss of flight (clinical sign) or have a liver disorder diagnosed on blood sampling (organ system). Where relevant, there is cross-referencing between the different sections.
