ZOO and Wild Animal Medicine: Current Therapy 4
The new volume in this popular series remains the only book available that focuses on the medical problems of wild animals maintained in zoos, wild animal parks, research institutions, and game ranches, as well as free-ranging wildlife. It features the most current treatment information, following the approach and format of previous volumes and is conveniently cross-indexed to Volume 2, the last book in the series to cover the entire spectrum of wild animal medicine.
Conveys the knowledge of 110 international authors selected for their expertise in specific subjects

General conditions focuses on pulse oximetry, quarantine principles, ultrasonography, tuberculosis, CT and MRI scanning, validity of diagnostic tests, endoscopy, and much more, as well as zoonoses such as cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis, rabies, and avian tuberculosis. Fish and reptiles covers fish anesthesia, a preventive medicine program for fish, and pharmacokinetics; and chameleon medicine, crocodilian anesthesia, sea turtles, evaluation and monitoring chelonians for release Avian medicine examines iron storage disease, feeding orphaned columbiform birds, the California Condor project, water quality in waterfowl collections, oiled birds, and avian analgesia. Mammals encompasses such topics as contraception for mammals, marsupials, primates, rodents, carnivores, marine mammals, elephants, perrisodactylids, and artiodactylids.
