In this fourth edition of Ferrets, Rabbits, and Rodents: Clinical Medicine and Surgery, we have gathered together an experienced, international team of authors to provide our readers with a comprehensive source of the clinically relevant information on topics concerning the medicine and surgery of common small mammals kept as pets. The knowledge base of small mammal medicine has advanced rapidly with each edition of this book, so much so that it is difficult to capture and filter the most relevant and timely information into one source.

As in the previous three editions, our goal remains to present the most relevant information in a succinct format that is easily readable and user friendly. With the hard work and dedication of all four editors, Connie J. Orcutt, Christoph Mans, James W. Carpenter, and myself, as well as the many talented authors who have contributed to this fourth edition of the “Pink Book,” we feel we have accomplished our goal.

This edition continues in the tradition of the previous three editions in presenting separate sections on the medicine and husbandry of ferrets, rabbits, rodents, and other small mammals. In this edition, as in previous editions, we also have included dedicated chapters on sugar gliders and African pygmy hedgehogs, and we have added chapters on degus, prairie dogs, and skunks.

We have consolidated a separate section titled “Surgical Techniques and Dentistry,” which includes specific chapters on soft tissue surgery of ferrets, rabbits, and rodents, as well as chapters on general principles, orthopedics in small mammals, diagnostic and surgical endoscopy, and small mammal dentistry. In the “General Topics” section, we have a new chapter on hematology and biochemistry, which discusses specific information on and interpretation of clinical pathology in small mammals.
