What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The second edition of this book is greatly improved with important changes to the appearance of the text and format…. The diagnostic sections on ectoparasites of small animals, such as hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs, are particularly useful to the veterinary practitioner or student…. The information contained in this book is valuable to veterinarians and students of veterinary medicine, animal husbandry and zoology.” (Veterinary Times)
“I believe the book is an excellent source of materials for the academic setting…” (Laboratory Animal Practitioner, 2002)
