Not so long ago, hamsters, gerbils and mice were the only rodents
kept as pets. Now the variety of rodents and the increasing
popularity of these small creatures kept as pets has grown
considerably. Since the last edition of Diseases of Small
Domestic Rodents, two more rodents have been added to this book
and become favourites among pet owners ? the degu and the
jird.
As well as two new chapters on jirds and degus, this book has
been fully revised and updated to reflect current developments in
the treatment and knowledge of diseases in small rodents. With
specific sections on anaesthesia and detailed information on drug
treatments, Diseases of Small Domestic Rodents is the
definitive reference book for students, breeders and practitioners
alike.
