Testo aggiuntivo
This text is currently the most up-to-date book on ferret medicine and as such, would be an important addition to the library of veterinary practices seeing these lively, curious and fun-loving pets.
Aidan Raftery, Veterinary Record 17 March 2018
Any veterinarian or veterinary student who treats or intends to treat ferrets will benefit from owning Ferret Medicine and Surgery. With the help of such a diverse group of authors, this text will appeal to an international audience. Veterinarians new to ferret medicine will appreciate the "how-to" for clinical procedures and the "clinical signs/differential diagnoses" chart. More experienced ferret vets will appreciate the encyclopedic scope of this book and that references are exceptionally current.
