review: Editorial Reviews From the Inside Flap A ready reference for veterinarians, veterinary pathologists, and technicians who work with small mammal companion animals Pathology of Small Mammal Pets is an authoritative source of up-to-date information on congenital abnormalities, spontaneous and infectious diseases, degenerative conditions, and incidental findings in many common small mammal pets. The emphasis throughout is on common disease conditions in an array of small mammal species, including ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, and other small rodents. Information is also provided on conditions that may arise in conventional breeding facilities as well as commercial meat rabbit operations. Pathology of Small Mammal Pets is logically organized for ease of use, with each species covered in detail in its own chapter. In addition to descriptions of clinical signs, laboratory diagnostics, gross pathology, histopathology, differential diagnoses, and colony management, the book also incorporates valuable information on an array of zoonotic diseases. To assist in the diagnosis of less commonly seen species, the authors have included information on normal anatomic features and incidental microscopic findings among those species. An indispensable resource for veterinary practitioners and diagnosticians who work with small mammal companion species, Pathology of Small Mammal Pets: Provides up-to-date, practical information on common disease conditions in small mammal companion animals Offers chapters logically organized by species, with comprehensive information on diagnosing diseases in each species Takes a practical, system-based approach to individual disease conditions Covers clinical signs, laboratory diagnostics, gross pathology, histopathology, and differential diagnoses in detail Includes relevant information for conventional breeding operations and breeding facilities, with strategies for disease management in herds and colonies Features information on normal anatomy in included species to assist in recognizing pathology Pathology of Small Mammal Pets is an invaluable resource for veterinarians, veterinary pathologists, veterinary technicians, and veterinary students.
