This book contains helpful information for veterinary technicians about exotic animals, including the importance of a good history and the ability to provide the client with accurate information. It is written for veterinary technicians with little experience with exotic animals, but it also would be helpful for students and beginning practitioners. ( Doody's , July 2010) <p>

This will be useful for technicians who do not currently see exotics. It also would be good to keep a copy in our small animal emergency room for our interns as a reference and in our ZooMed section as well as The Wildlife Medical Clinic for veterinary students. ( Doody's , July 2010)
