Zoo Animal and Wildlife Immobilization and Anesthesia, Second
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.
