Amphibian Medicine and Captive Husbandry
by Kevin M. Wright (Editor), Brent R. Whitaker

This book is designed to introduce veterinary practitioners to the diagnosis and treatment of disease in captive amphibians. Although designed for the veterinary clinician, this text is an essential part of any herpetologist's library, covering various aspects of amphibian captive husbandry and propagation while providing the reader a firm foundation on which to evaluate a given husbandry routine. The diagnosis of disease in amphibians by the application of basic clinicopathologic techniques is discussed. Infectious metabolic, nutritional, neoplastic, and idiopathic disorders of amphibians are discussed in detail. Black and white and color plates enhance the usefulness of this volume. Specialty veterinary texts have been available for mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates, but this is the first one to be published on amphibians.
