Review
"This book has a broad overview of clinical medicine and surgical information on ferrets and rabbits and some small mammal species that are hard to find in one place. The book is easy to read and has complete and current references. This textbook is an important reference text for those veterinarians and others who work with these species of animals."
-Veterinary Pathology 42:2, 2005

"The second edition of this book carries on the tradition of the first with the addition of Sugar Gliders, Hedgehogs, and Prairie Dogs. This book contains the work of 43 specialists covering a wide range of disciplines and from foreign countries (as well as the United States). I commend the authors and editors for the quality of the text, no matter what subject you are reading you can tell by the style and tone that the author has really done his homework, ideas are not left hanging without documentation to back the author up. Each chapter provides an excellent summary of published research. The value of this book extends beyond just veterinary hospital; anyone with an interest in these animals will find value within these pages. This book comes highly recommended for any AZA institution dealing with these species."

5.0 out of 5 stars Ferrets, Rabbits and Rodents: Clinical Medicine and Surgery, November 25, 1999

By	Dr. Bonnie Ballard (Arnoldsville, Georgia) - See all my reviews

This book is a must if you practice exotic animal medicine, want to get started or you are a veterinarian that occasionally has one of these species come through your door. It has up to date information organized in a easy to read, easy to find format. It is written in a style that is informative but not boring and much of the information would be helpful to owners of these species as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST book on this subject, December 18, 1999

By A Customer

This book is the absolute best resource on the medicine of these species. The book is easy to follow and find specific information as necessary. Most illustrations are quite useful, although in black and white. The book is organized mostly by taxonomic groups. However, the book seems to repeat itself in some chapters as well as in different chapters, and sometimes, finding information may be indexed in more than one place only to find that they are all quite similar pieces of information. I HIGHLY reccomend this book, and its is the best amount of informtion at a very affordable price.

4.0 out of 5 stars an excellent book for vets, students and interested owners, August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This is a detailed book covering the medicine and surgery of the named species. It's a broad guide to the veterinary care of these species. It may be too technical for non-medical owners. Some of the treatments and disease bias reflects the American authors and experiences but it is still a very useful book for European vets too. A must for the vet practice bookshelf.
