Backyard Poultry Medicine and Surgery by Cheryl B Greenacre

BACKYARD POULTRY MEDICINE AND SURGERY

An expanded edition that explains the diagnosis and treatment of backyard poultry

You can look to Backyard Poultry Medicine and Surgery, Second Edition for practical veterinary information on the treatment of poultry. You’ll find six new chapters covering radiology, toxicology, euthanasia, gross pathology, behavior, and emergency medicine. The book is written by some of the most respected specialists in a broad range of fields.

With many original chapters also significantly expanded, the book provides a complete guide to all aspects of husbandry, medicine, and surgery for poultry. Diseases are organized by body systems to aid in developing a diagnosis. This book supports your work as a practitioner, whether you treat birds occasionally or regularly.

• Review information on the topics of husbandry, medicine, and surgery
• Gain guidance on developing a diagnostic or treatment plan for the individual or small flock of poultry
• Choose appropriate doses of labeled and extra-label drugs
• Find new chapters on emergency medicine, toxicology, euthanasia, gross pathology, normal and abnormal radiographic findings, and other key topics
• Use color photographs to aid in breed identification and poultry disease diagnoses
• View photographs, videos, and linked references and websites on an accompanying website

This is an essential and comprehensive guide providing enhanced and updated information to support all types of practitioners—from the dedicated avian veterinarian to those who rarely treat these species.

“As welcomed, much needed, and excellent as the 1^st edition was, the second truly improves on a good thingThis new edition has been expanded to almost twice the size of the original textbook with careful reorganization, outstanding additions, and further development of a well-planned resource text....The most significant change is the addition of six brilliant new chapters on the topics of radiology, toxicology, necropsy procedures, emergency and critical care, behavior, and euthanasia. These well-written and thorough chapters fill in any gaps the 1^st edition missed and provide practitioners with information in areas beyond basic clinical medicine.” -Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine 40 (2022) 80
