Editorial Reviews

Review

Anaesthesia of Exotic Pets is marketed as a unique and quick reference guide for all those working in veterinary practice with exotic pets. Coming at a time when there are other titles that cover similar material, does this book stand out from the crowd? Well, the quick answer is, yes, it does. A lot of thought has gone into the material, layout, and the use of graphics and photographs. The content is of a high standard throughout, and this is a very useful text to have on the shelf of the theatre, next to the BSAVA Formulary and other daily-dipped-into books. I thoroughly recommend Anaesthesia of Exotic Pets to any clinician who works with, or even potentially will see, exotic pets in their clinic. This will be a standard text that will set the benchmark for other authors in this constantly developing field. – The Veterinary Record, June 2008
