Clinical Veterinary Advisor: Birds and Exotic Pets

This is a must-have resource for any veterinarian, or veterinary student interested in, practicing avian and exotics veterinary medicine! I know of no other single reference in the entire field that compiles such a vast amount of information in a comprehensive and accurate, but concise and reader-friendly manner. It is the one go-to book in my library where I know I can easily and quickly find my answers. If you are looking for a top-notch reference that will foster increased efficiency and competence in practicing avian and exotics veterinary medicine, you can stop looking because this resource is your answer!

After hearing Dr. Mayer speak at the NAVC I immediately purchased this book. EXCELLENT! Would advise for anyone seeing exotics

Great for vets!

Excellent reference, well written and organized with quick/available information for small exotic animal species.

love this book

I wish that there was more separation between species. Otherwise, this is a wonderful resource.

Good reference guide for small exotics and other special species. Not great for avian medicine.

Excelente envio, excelente producto.

regalo gradito

A good book in general, easy to find info. But I was a bit disappointed when I found no information at all about impacted caecum in rabbits, not even in the index. At the "intestinal disorders" it also goes on about stomach problems, however there is a separate chapter for that. Couldn't find anywhere mentioning blood glucose measurement in rabbits in the diagnostics of intestinal obstruction. There is some more about it in the laboratory findings chapter, but no cutoff-points for diagnostics, and it's not mentioned at the intestinal disorders at all. Also no info re parrot wing clipping (I know it's not primarily a health problem but it's still something you can come across in practice) . Otherwise a detailed book, organised, easy to find info.

After having the experience with the 5 minutes veterinary consult avian, I was expecting something more from this book. However, it is quite helpful and has information on many other species. The structure of the book is nice and makes easy to find information.

発売決定からずいぶん待たされました！無脊椎動物、魚類、両生類、爬虫類、鳥類、ラット、モルモット、ハムスター、スナネズミ、チンチラ、プレーリードッグ、デグー、ハリネズミ、フクロモモンガ、ウサギ、フェレット、について章が構成されている。しかし、スナネズミとプレーリーは1、フクロモモンガは2、デグーは3、ハリネズミは4つの疾患群についてしか述べられていないのが残念。特徴的なのは、症状からひける鑑別診断リストやアルゴリズムがあること。これだけの種類の動物をひとくくりにしながら、まとめあげるには、著者の先生方には頭が下がるが、ちょっと無理があるかもしれない。同じような本に5minuteのsmall mammalがあるが、内容的には、その5minのほうが、濃い。しかし、網羅している動物種は本書のほうが圧倒的に多いので、ぜひ手元に置いておきたい。経験を積んでくると、内容的には目新しいものは感じられないが、全体をブラッシュアップするためにも、こういう本は便利に使える。値段が安いのがとにかく助かる。在庫もたくさんあるようなので、この機会にぜひ！
