Description détaillée : Current Therapy in Avian Medicine and Surgery Volume II

Current Therapy in Avian Medicine and Surgery, Volume II, brings a wealth of new information on the medical care of avian species with practical approaches to diagnosis and therapy of psittacines and other birds.

With many of the topics not previously covered in the first volume, the two books are complementary to one another and provide any veterinarian with an interest in avian medicine, whether novice or expert, the latest advances in internal medicine, anesthesia, analgesia, and surgery.

Sections dedicated to behavior and welfare, neonatology and pediatrics, conservation, and practice management explore important, but less commonly discussed aspects of avian practice.

With contributions from globally recognized experts on avian medicine, this is a must-have resource for anyone seeking to enhance and expand their expertise and skills in avian healthcare, welfare, and conservation.
