Dieses neue Handbuch vermittelt Veterinären alles Wissenswerte rund um die Behandlung von Vögeln in Hinterhofhaltung. Immer mehr Menschen halten Geflügel und sehen die Tiere als Haustiere an. Wenn die Vögel erkranken, erwarten die Halter eine kompetente Betreuung durch Veterinäre, häufig verbunden mit der Vorstellung dass die Behandlung der von Hunden oder Katzen ebenbürtig ist. Dieses Handbuch befasst sich mit Hühnern, Truthähnen, Enten, Gänsen, Perlhühnern, Fasanen und Pfauen. ContributorsForeword
