Helpful Vet Tech material

This book is handy for information on animals I am studying currently. Has a lot more which I will be learning as well. Recommend for other students like myself.

Good Basic Book

The book provides good information on the basics of wildlife care. If you've worked with wildlife before, however, a lot of it is review. That being said, its a good reference and great easy to read book for those who are new to the field

Thorough and accurate

Dr. Ballard has done an exceptional job of putting together a text for veterinary technicians interested in exotic animals. I am the program director of a veterinary technology program in Michigan and after reviewing this book, I immediately incorporated this text into our Exotic Animal Course. A great text for students, technicians and anyone interested in the health and management of exotic species.

Dr. Balllard is the most intellegent, best author ever

This book is an awesome book. It is worth buying it even just to read it for pleasure. Dr. Ballard knows what she is talking about! this is a must read and gets three thumbs up!
