Reptile Medicine and Surgery 2nd Edition

I do reptile rescue work, and this book is very helpful. It's a great resource to help you identify and treat illnesses (with vet guidance!), and ask your vet more specific questions on reptile care.

I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Lots of colorful pictures and covering venipuncture, drawing blood samples, giving injections, all sorts of ailments and diseases covering, how to restrain and work with all species, even venomous reptiles! The pics are very detailed and show you 'how to do this and that.' There is no other better reptile book available out there. This is it! This is highly recommended for vet techs and zoos and vets, etc. It covers diagnostics and with pictures in color and step-by-step guides, and where the veins are located and where to give shots, how to give meds, feeding and nutrition, proper care, handling, restraint, force-feeding, intensive care, you name it.

I’ve been borrowing a copy of this textbook for a few years before recently buying my own. It’s a thorough resource for exotics veterinarians. The illustrations are great, and the index is useful. For me, a used copy of this edition was a better value than a copy of the newer edition.

I was curious about anatomy & physiology in my Bearded dragon. i have found and am finding so much more. It is for the scientifically minded, but as an RN with some science back round, it is perfect for what I wanted. i wanted to know more than just care and feeding for my lizard that you find in in all the libraries around here. I wanted just reptiles, not reptiles AND amphibians. I wanted health care issues in detail. This book is geared toward veterinarians, so it has all that I wanted and more. My free time and breaks is an explorations of a new world for me. I'm giddy:)

This was given to my grandson as he aspired to be a Reptile Doctor. He read it cover to cover and really found it to be very informative and educational. Now he has moved on to another field.........so it goes with the young.

EXCELLENT INFORMATIONDr. Mader is a cut above the rest!!!If you're familiar with his contributions to sea life, you know what I'm talking about.

A must-have if you plan to work with exotic pets. We use it a ton at my Veterinary school. Purchased a copy for myself also. Chapters well designed, easy to find what you are looking for, a LOT of photos.

A much needed volume for those that keep or work with reptiles. Well written and full of valuable information and resources regarding health concerns and how to treat them with respect to reptiles.
