Small animal veterinarians are increasingly taking on caseloads that include farm animals, with cases being presented by local hobby farmers, smallholders, and "novelty pet" owners. With the increase in veterinary telemedicine, they now also receive requests for advice electronically from owners further afield.
Recognizing this trend, this book provides a quick reference for small-animal orientated veterinarians in the basics of surgery and treatment of farm animals. Popular animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, camelids and backyard poultry are covered, and basic techniques such as anaesthesia, clinical examination techniques, breeding, surgery and euthanasia are discussed.
This new edition:
- Expands on recent developments in all areas of medicine and surgery, covering advances such as the increased use of ultrasound across species and adding a new section on anthelmintics.
- Provides updates on current major disease threats, as well as providing a One Health perspective.
- Includes full color images to help bring the subject to life.
