THE EDITORS
 
Dr. Greg Harrison Dr. Teresa Lightfoot
Greg J. Harrison, DVM, Dipl ABVP-Avian, Dipl ECAMS and Teresa Lightfoot, DVM, Dipl ABVP have compiled the expertise and experience of 50 international contributing authors (and 50 reviewers) to produce an extraordinary two-volume reference for veterinarians and other avian health professionals.
As Dr. Harrison puts it, “Because medicine and surgery of captive birds has become more mainstream in clinical veterinary practice, there are already available a number of comprehensive reference texts to serve the avian practitioner. The purpose of Clinical Avian Medicine is to provide some highlights of emerging thoughts, techniques and procedures that are currently being assimilated into avian practice.”
THE BOOK
- Both books printed entirely in full color (over 1000 color images in Vol I and 300 in Vol II).
- Fresh perspectives on common clinical disorders and practical solutions
- Current scientific data relevant to clinical avian practice
- Practical, useful diagnostic support in the areas of physical examination, nutritional evaluation, hematology, biochemistries and endoscopy
- Innovative imaging techniques
- Breakthrough contributions in the areas of integrative medicine, wellness programs, preventive medicine and screening and low-risk pest control
- Three-section chapter on avian behavior and behavior modification
- Update on macrorhabdosis (formerly megabacteria)
