Avian Medicine: 2000

The first five chapters cover the basic medical information needed to run a primary care avian practice. Again, the focus of the text is on introductory level material and avian practice within the average companion animal practice. If you see between one and five birds a week, this section is for you.The later chapters are species-specific. If a practice sees avian patients, it is not unusual to treat any one of these species and the information in these chapters will support the veterinarian in evaluating, treating and/or referring the patient. Written by international experts, these chapters will also be of interest to avian specialists, bringing them up-to-date on current thinking in areas such as seabird rescue and the management of zoo collections.Avian Medicine is an outstanding book that draws together all the essential information on the care of birds – providing an indispensable reference for veterinary practitioners, veterinary students and veterinary technicians.
