Review
The stated aim of this 546-page text is to allow you to treat all exotic pets confidently, using the most cutting-edge information and all within one comprehensive resource. The pages are all glossy and there are over 400 colour pictures and the page edges are colour coded to allow the relevant sections to be readily accessed. The first two chapters give an introduction to the subject and help in preparing the veterinary surgery to treat these patients. The rest of the nineteen chapters each cover a separate species or linked group of species. This is a book that will fi nd a place in my own library. It is certainly worth considering if you only intend to have one book on exotic pets, and is a good and reasonably comprehensive introduction to the subject. If you have an interest in one particular species or group of species then there are more specialist texts available, and this is recognised by the authors, who do provide guidance on further reading. - European Journal of Companion Animal Practice, August 2008

This practical, user-friendly resource provides essential informationn on the care and treatment of the most common exotic pets presented in practice. The colour images in this manual as well as the numerous tables on drugs makes this book very practical to use for students and veterinarians working with exotic pets. - European Association of Zoo and Wildlife Veterinarians, July 2008

5.0 out of 5 stars great book for veterinarians , July 28, 2008

By	Dr. Jodi A. Holcomb (Sabillasville, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even if you aren't a veterinarian who works with exotic animals, let me tell you that this is one book your clinic shouldn't be without. I refer to this book on 98% of my exotic cases - I suppose the final 2% belongs to guinea pigs, of which I feel vital information is lacking (dosages, etc.)

However, I would recommend this book to any clinic, as it will help you through the easy to difficult cases, and give you confidence to pursue further cases. Plus both Drs. Tully and Mitchell are very accessible and personable and will help you in any way they can.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, July 25, 2008

By	Dominic J. Saladino (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a vet school applicant so I was mainly looking at this for my own interest. I was mostly interest in the wildlife chapter that was decent but didn't go into a lot of detail. The rest of the book was very detailed and covered most exotic species. Lots of pics and easy to understand.
