Practical reference on small mammal husbandry and health, now with full-color clinical photographs throughout The Sixth Edition of Harkness and Wagner’s Biology and Medicine of Rabbits and Rodents provides a thorough update to the classic reference on small mammal health and husbandry, now with full-color clinical photographs throughout. Part of ACLAM’s series of laboratory animal books, the book is a comprehensive, practical guide to caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, and chinchillas. Emphasizing biology, contemporary husbandry, diagnostics and clinical procedures, clinical signs, and diseases and conditions, the book is equally useful in the research, companion animal practice, or food animal setting. New topics for the Sixth Edition include environmental monitoring for rodent health assessments, behavioral management considerations for optimizing animal health, enhanced pain assessment approaches, as well as considerations for creating a welfare-friendly small mammal practice. The Sixth Edition also updates common therapeutics, analgesics, anesthetics, and blood collection methodology, disease biology, husbandry, diagnostic modalities, and references, and covers new techniques for creating and modifying genetically engineered rodents. Harkness and Wagner’s Biology and Medicine of Rabbits and Rodents includes information on: General husbandry and disease prevention, covering equipment needs, factors predisposing to disease, and occupational health and safety issuesClinical procedures, covering hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, surgery, post-operative care, dentistry, ophthalmology, and imagingClinical signs and differential diagnoses, covering astroviruses, hepatitis E and leporid herpesvirus-4 for rabbits and antimicrobial resistance for commercial rabbitsSerologic testing and diagnostic sample submission, covering newer methodologies, environmental monitoring, and considerations for large rodent feeder-breeder operationsThe Sixth Edition of Harkness and Wagner’s Biology and Medicine of Rabbits and Rodents is an essential reference for veterinary professionals dealing with small mammal species in research or practice settings, as well as veterinary students interested in small animals, comparative medicine, or laboratory animal medicine.
