Sea Turtle Health and Rehabilitation is the first-ever
comprehensive book on sea turtle husbandry, health, medicine, and
surgery. This full-color guide presents extensive information for
the proper rescue, evaluation, care, and rehabilitation of sick and
injured sea turtles at every stage of life. In-depth information is
provided on the physiological systems of sea turtles, causes and
sources of illness and injury, diagnostic procedures, and medical
and surgical treatments. This is an essential volume for
veterinarians, veterinary students, veterinary technicians,
rehabilitators, aquarists, biologists, and conservationists who
work with sea turtles. The chapters in this well-organized book are
written by leading experts in their respective fields and contain
state-of-the-art information not found in any other single source.
The contents range from the life history of sea turtles to the more
detailed and complex issues related to the diagnosis and treatment
of conditions that are frequently encountered in sea turtles. Also
included are chapters on important subjects related to sea turtle
health and conservation, such as mortality investigation, fisheries
interactions, oil spills and other environmental contamination,
pathogens, cold stunning, and harmful algal blooms. Prior to the
publication of this unique work, the sea turtle community relied on
scattered chapters and papers to obtain information on sea turtle
care and rehabilitation. Now, this information can be found all in
one place. Key Features: * Contains over 600 amazing color
illustrations and photos to aid in the diagnostic evaluation and
treatment of sea turtle injury and illness * Presents over 50
tables that assimilate and organize important data, particularly in
the areas of clinical pathology and nutrition * Includes Appendices
with examination and evaluation forms, as well as necropsy and
stranding report forms not found anywhere else * Contains a sea
turtle formulary, diet recipes, and tube feeding formulas
