BSAVA Manual of Rabbit Surgery, Dentistry and Imaging

Rabbits have become increasingly popular pets and more knowledge of rabbit medicine and surgery has grown rapidly during the past decade. There are now written two Manuals on this imortant animal, one that concentrates on the major surgical and dental conditions that are common in rabbits (this Manual), and one that concentrates on common medical conditions, entitled BSAVA Manual of Rabbit Medicine. This manual is divided into sections covering discussions on anaesthesia and analgesia, including practical advice on different regimes for different situations/risk levels, chemical pain relief and also hospitalisation and postoperative care. One section on imaging follows, covering not only radiographic techniques and their interpretation, but also ultrasonography, endoscopy, CT and MRI. The third section is devoted to surgical techniques. General principles of rabbit surgery are discussed, as well as specific surgical techniques and procedures, from basic techniques such as neutering to more specialised techniques used in each organ system. The final section is devoted to dental disease and abscessations, including the techniques required for a full dental examination and evaluation. The range of treatment techniques available for cheek tooth overgrowth and dental abscesses is highlighted, and the readers are encouraged to draw their own conclusions as to the correct method to use in each case. Illustrated step-by-step Operative techniques are provided for surgical and dental procedures. For Table of Contents, please click here.
