Product Description
This handbook is a straightforward introduction to exotic animal medicine for the veterinary technician. Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician introduces technicians to the exotic animals they're most likely to see in practice, and provides clear-cut descriptions of common procedures on exotics.
Together with 12 contributing authors, Ballard and Cheek describe in detail common technical procedures performed on exotics including: venipuncture, bandaging and wound care, administration of drugs, tube feeding, catheter placement, and urine collection. The book's coverage also extends to basic anatomy, physiology, reproduction, husbandry, zoonotic diseases, restraint, radiology, surgery and anesthesia, parasitology, hematology, emergency and critical care, and nutrition.
Although intended primarily as a textbook for students in veterinary technician programs, the complete coverage of exotic animal clinical procedures makes this an invaluable reference for veterinary technicians and practicing veterinarians alike.

 Good Basic Book November 21, 2007
Science Nerd (Milwaukee, WI)
The book provides good information on the basics of wildlife care. If you've worked with wildlife before, however, a lot of it is review. That being said, its a good reference and great easy to read book for those who are new to the field
 Thorough and accurate February 4, 2004

Dr. Ballard has done an exceptional job of putting together a text for veterinary technicians interested in exotic animals. I am the program director of a veterinary technology program in Michigan and after reviewing this book, I immediately incorporated this text into our Exotic Animal Course. A great text for students, technicians and anyone interested in the health and management of exotic species.
Dr. Balllard is the most intellegent, best author ever September 18, 2003
