Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician
edited by Bonnie Ballard

Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician is a straightforward introduction to exotic animal medicine. It introduces technicians to the exotic animals they’re most likely to see in practice, and provides clear-cut descriptions of common procedures on exotics. Everyday technical procedures are explained thoroughly, but general information about exotic species is also included.

Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician describes in detail common technical procedures performed on exotics including:

  • venipuncture
  • bandaging and wound care
  • administration of drugs
  • tube feeding
  • catheter placement
  • urine collection

The book’s coverage also extends to basic anatomy, physiology, reproduction, husbandry, zoonotic diseases, restraint, radiology, surgery and anesthesia, parasitology, hematology, emergency and critical care, and nutrition.

Although intended primarily as a textbook for students in veterinary technician programs, the complete coverage of exotic animal clinical procedures makes this an invaluable reference for veterinary technicians and practicing veterinarians alike.
