Laboratory Animal Medicine by Sirois

This book was required by my teacher for class readings. I thought it was written very user friendly. The rat,mouse, guinea pig, and rabbit have their own individual chapters. And the hamster, gerbil, and Ferret have one chapter together. For each individual animal chapter, the sections are broken down (taxonomy,unique anatomic & philologic features,genetics & nomenclature, behavior, husbandary housing & Nutrion, restraint & handling, identification, administration of medications, blood collection techniques, & common dieases). At the end of each animal section there are study questions. I gave only 4 out of 5 stars because the pictures in the book are black and white and they should be in color so you can see what they are doing better.
