Ferrets are becoming increasingly popular as pets, rivalling rabbits as the third most favoured domestic pet after dogs and cats. Ferret Medicine and Surgery discusses the veterinary aspects of this incredible little creature.

The book covers ferret medicine and common surgeries, providing a comprehensive reference for the veterinary practitioner. Each chapter of disorders is designed to be inclusive and includes cross references to other chapters throughout as well as some highlights of anatomy and physiology as a review.

The format allows easy access to information providing answers to problems that arise in practice. Thoroughly illustrated with high-quality photographs and line drawings, the book is designed to provide quick, concise information of immediate use to the practitioner.

Any veterinarian or veterinary student who treats or intends to treat ferrets will benefit from owning Ferret Medicine and Surgery. With the help of such a diverse group of authors, this text will appeal to an international audience. Veterinarians new to ferret medicine will appreciate the "how-to" for clinical procedures and the "clinical signs/differential diagnoses" chart. More experienced ferret vets will appreciate the encyclopedic scope of this book and that references are exceptionally current.
