Zoo Animal and Wildlife Immobilization and Anesthesia
By Gary West, Darryl Heard, Nigel Caulkett
2nd Edition
Is a fully updated and revised version of the first comprehensive
reference on anesthetic techniques in captive and free-ranging wildlife.
Now including expanded coverage of avian and aquatic species, this
exhaustive resource presents information on the full range of zoo and
wildlife species. Covering topics ranging from monitoring and field
anesthesia to CPR and euthanasia, the heart of the book is devoted to 53
species-specific chapters providing a wealth of information on
little-known and common zoo and wildlife animals alike.
In
addition to new species chapters, the new edition brings a new focus on
pain management, including chronic pain, and more information on
species-specific physiology. Chapters on airway management, monitoring,
emergency therapeutics, and field procedures are all significantly
expanded as well. This update to Zoo Animal and Wildlife Immobilization and Anesthesia is an invaluable addition to the library of all zoo and wildlife veterinarians.
