BSAVA Manual of Rodents and Ferrets Edited by: Emma Keeble and Anna Meredith This BSAVA Manual is a response to the increased number of rodents and ferrets kept as pets and the demand for appropriate veterinary care for these patients, whose small size, susceptibility to stress-related problems and short natural life expectancy present challenges to the veterinary surgeon. High-quality colour images and numerous quick-reference tables accompany the text, which has been written by an international field of contributing authors with extensive practical experience. Covers mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus Ferrets Biology, husbandry and clinical techniques (including anaesthesia and surgery) Common diseases organised by clinical system
