Informationen zum Autor Anna Meredith : The R(D)SVS Hospital for Small Animals, The University of Edinburgh Cathy Johnson Delaney : Eastside Avian and Exotic Animal Medical Centre, Kirkland, WA 98034, USA Klappentext This remains the Foundation Manual for information across the range of exotic pets, from small mammals, through birds, reptiles and amphibians, to invertebrates. Commoner pets, such as rabbits, rodents and budgies retain their place. However, the ever-increasing range of non-traditional pets encountered by the veterinary surgeon in practice, is reflected in coverage of some new groups, such as marsupials, ratites and crocodilians.
