This text on the medical care of laboratory animals is thoroughly revised and updated to reflect advances in understanding and technique since the publication of the first edition. The new edition preserves the user-friendly format in its overview of the medical basics on mice, rats, Mongolian gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, ferrets and nonhuman primates. In each chapter, the authors address a primary concern, such as behaviour, anatomic and physiological features, breeding and reproduction, husbandry, handling and restraint, blood collection, urine collection, drug administration, anaesthesia, surgery, postoperative care, therapeutic agents, diseases and neoplasia. In this edition, these entries include information on new diseases, treatments and techniques. The second edition also provides an added chapter on regulations and policies governing the care and use of laboratory animals and another on serologic testing and quality control. New line drawings of restraint and other techniques should enhance the book's value as a guide to the researcher, student and clinician. Convenient tables supply essential biological and physiological data, blood volumes and information on anaesthetic agents and tranquilizers, and analgesic, antimicrobial, antifungal and antiparasitic agents. Appendices include normal values for haematological data and serum biochemical data, as well as a listing of organizations in laboratory animal medicine.
