Description
Addresses the common questions and concerns of the practicing veterinarian who works with small mammals.

Because preventive medicine is crucial to small mammal medicine, coverage includes basic biology, husbandry, and routine care of the healthy animal. Also features chapters on disease management, surgery, and radiology.
