Learn the veterinary technician's role in the care of exotic pets
and animals used in biomedical research! Laboratory Animal and
Exotic Pet Medicine: Principles and Procedures, 3rd Edition helps
you gain the knowledge and skills needed to ensure animal health
and well-being. It covers animal husbandry, restraint and handling,
and diseases, and provides guidelines to key clinical procedures
such as blood collection, medication administration, anesthesia,
and diagnostic imaging. Research-related information addresses the
ethical concerns of exotic pet ownership, as well as the benefits
and humane use of animals in research. Written by noted veterinary
technology educator Margi Sirois, this text is a must-have resource
for all caretakers of lab animals. Comprehensive coverage prepares
you to work with all types of animals by addressing a wide variety
of species including rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets,
hamsters, gerbils, nonhuman primates, amphibians, fish, reptiles,
birds, farm animals, and cats and dogs; it also covers topics such
as animal species, the laboratory setting, regulatory guidelines,
and ethical considerations. Consistent organization of each species
chapter makes it easy to quickly identify similarities and
differences among various laboratory animals. Current information
on legal, moral, and ethical issues includes legal requirements,
the protocols guiding lab animal use, animal exploitation, and
animal rights. Discussion of specific uses for each species in
biomedical research provides a perspective that helps you explain
the benefits of animal use in providing high-quality research data.
