Stay up to date with the latest advances in avian medicine! Current Therapy in Avian Medicine and Surgery, Volume II, brings a wealth of new information on the medical care of avian species with practical approaches to diagnosis and therapy of psittacines and other birds. With many of the topics not previously covered in the first volume, the two books are complementary to one another and provide any veterinarian with an interest in avian medicine, whether novice or expert, the latest advances in internal medicine, anesthesia, analgesia, and surgery. Sections dedicated to behavior and welfare, neonatology and pediatrics, conservation, and practice management explore important, but less commonly discussed aspects of avian practice. With contributions from globally recognized experts on avian medicine, this is a must-have resource for anyone seeking to enhance and expand their expertise and skills in avian healthcare, welfare, and conservation.

With the exception of updates on relevant, current topics, the information presented in this volume predominantly includes material not previously covered in the first volume
The many photographs, illustrations, and comprehensive tables included in this volume visually highlight key concepts of current avian practice standards
Sections on pediatrics, falconry, toucans and hornbills feature specific topics which are less comprehensively included in most references
Focused sections on the respiratory system, the beak and skull, feathers, and feet offer detailed information on these particular anatomical regions
Pharmacologic intervention and options are explored in-depth to allow for clinicians to gain an optimal understanding of how to best develop treatment plans for their patients
NEW! An eBook version is included with print purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
Current Therapy format provides up-to-date information about patient management of specific disorders, including innovations in therapy and the pros and cons of proposed treatments
Coverage of a wide variety of bird species includes psittacines, pigeons, raptors, ratites, waterfowl, gallinaceous birds, and less common species
More than 800 full-color images depict avian disease conditions, show management strategies and thought processes, and aid in formulating guidelines to care.
Summary tables simplify the lookup of key facts and treatment guidelines
Appendices provide quick access to a current drug formulary, normal biological data, clinical pathologic reference ranges, and growth and feeding charts of neonatal birds
