Current Therapy in Medicine of Australian Mammals (PDF)

by Larry Vogelnest (ed.), Timothy Portas (ed.)
Current Therapy in Medicine of Australian Mammals provides up-to-date knowledge of Australian mammal medicine. This revised edition is a companion volume to Medicine of Australian Mammals , a text that remains relevant and current, although there have been significant advances in Australian mammal medicine and surgery since its publication in 2008. Together, these two texts remain the most comprehensive source of information on medicine of Australian mammals available. This book is divided into two sections. The first includes detailed chapters on general topics and topics relevant to multiple taxa, including a new chapter on assessment, triage and treatment of bushfire-affected wildlife. The second section provides updates of current knowledge relevant to specific taxa. Each chapter is authored by Australian experts. Several appendices provide useful reference data and information on clinical reference ranges, recommended venipuncture sites, chemical restraint agent doses and regimens, a drug formulary and dental charts. Current Therapy in Medicine of Australian Mammals is clinically oriented with an emphasis on practical content and easy-to-use reference material, and is a must-have for veterinarians, students, biologists, zoologists, wildlife carers and other wildlife professionals. This volume also complements, updates and utilises the resources of other books such as Radiology of Australian Mammals (Vogelnest and Allan, 2015), Pathology of Australian Native Wildlife (Ladds, 2009), Haematology of Australian Mammals (Clark, 2004) and Australian Mammals: Biology and Captive Management, Second Edition (Jackson, 2025).
