Exotic Animals: A Veterinary Handbook

This book is from 1995 but the information is still valid and invaluable. There are complete articles on ferrets, chinchillas, rats, mice, rabbits, hamsters, the Golden Hamster, the Mongolian gerbil, potbellied and miniature pigs, ostrich, llamas, caged and wild birds including pheasants, reptiles, iguanas, fish, sea turtles, and sea otters, and general articles on parasitolgy, physical restraint, and other aspects of exotic care. Each article is packed with valuable information that has been researched and has scientific basis. The information is easy to read and understand and is suited for the pet owner, but also included is information on the correct restraint, formulation of food, medications, health issues, diseases, and other veterinary aspects. Not only will this help the pet owner take better care of his or her pet, but there is specially researched and specific information that not all veterinarians know. I have pet Mongolian gerbils and have particularly found the food recommendations and the common disease/condition information to be so useful; my veterinarian has learned from me! Other pet books have had incorrect information and I am so happy to have found this gem!
