Get the latest advances in zoo and wild animal medicine in one
invaluable reference! Written by internationally recognized
experts, Fowler's Zoo and Wild Animal Medicine: Current Therapy,
Volume 10 provides a practical guide to the latest research and
clinical management of captive and free-ranging wild animals. For
each animal, coverage includes topics such as biology, anatomy and
special physiology, reproduction, restraint and handling, housing
requirements, nutrition and feeding, surgery and anesthesia,
diagnostics, and treatment protocols. New topics in this edition
include holistic treatments, antibiotic resistance in aquariums,
non-invasive imaging for amphibians, emerging reptile viruses, and
African ground hornbill medicine, in addition to giant anteater
medicine, Brucella in marine animals, and rhinoceros birth
parameters. With coverage of many subjects where information has
not been readily available, Fowler's is a resource you don't want
to be without. Fowler's Current Therapy format ensures that each
volume in the series covers all-new topics with timely information
on current topics of interest in the field. Focused coverage offers
just the right amount of depth - often fewer than 10 pages in a
chapter - which makes the material easier to access and easier to
understand. General taxon-based format covers all terrestrial
vertebrate taxa plus selected topics on aquatic and invertebrate
taxa. Updated information from the Zoological Information
Management System (ZIMS) includes records from their growing
database for 2.3 million animals (374,000 living) and 23,000 taxa,
which can serve as a basis for new research. Expert, global
contributors include authors from the U.S. and 25 other countries,
each representing trends in their part of the world, and each
focusing on the latest research and clinical management of captive
and free-ranging wild animals. NEW! All-new topics and contributors
ensure that this volume addresses the most current issues relating
to zoo and wild animals. NEW! Content on emerging diseases includes
topics such as COVID-19, rabbit hemorrhagic disease, yellow fever
in South American primates, monitoring herpesviruses in multiple
species, and canine distemper in unusual species. NEW! Emphasis on
management includes coverage of diversity in zoo and wildlife
medicine. NEW! Panel of international contributors includes, for
the first time, experts from Costa Rica, Estonia, Ethiopia, India,
Norway, and Singapore, along with many other countries. NEW!
