This review is from: Reptile Clinician's Handbook: A Compact Clinical and Surgical Reference (Spiral-bound)

The book is very basic and filled with alot of useless information. Also about 8 of the pages were completely blank. Someone was asleep during printing. As for the title clinician's handbook, well to be honest I found the same information in books such as guides for first time owners. I was looking for dose rates and more information on protozoa and parasites for my breeding colony. I found nothing in it. There was some information on bloodwork but not alot. Most of the information was on food values for iguanas. I dont have iguanas. Dont bother and waste your time on this book. You will better information if you get a "Reptiles" magazine.
