{"product_id":"ophthalmology-of-exotic-pets-isbn-9781444330410","title":"Ophthalmology of Exotic Pets","description":"This quick reference handbook covers the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease in a range of exotic companion animal species, including rabbits, rodents, reptiles, birds, amphibians and fish. It clarifies when extrapolation from cat or dog eyes is appropriate, or when new information is needed to ensure that diagnoses and treatments are appropriate for the particular species. Writing in an accessible and down to earth style, the author brings a wealth of personal experience to this specialised subject area. The book contains many ophthalmic photographs of both anatomy in normal eyes and pathology in abnormal cases. It also includes a separate chapter on the common ophthalmic features of exotic pets, discussing what can be learnt from cross-species comparison and another chapter giving a brief history of comparative ophthalmology. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOphthalmology of Exotic Pets\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable aid for veterinary practitioners and students with an interest in exotic pet species, as well as for veterinary ophthalmologists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers lagomorphs, rodents, reptiles, birds, amphibians and fish \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers clear guidance for species-specific treatment \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFacilitates extrapolations from the cat or dog to the exotic eye \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten in a concise quick reference format \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighly illustrated with colour photographs \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eForeword viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDedication xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 Introduction 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReference 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 A brief history of comparative ophthalmology 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3 Common features of exotic animal ophthalmology 9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOcular examination 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAncillary tests 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOcular pharmacology 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4 The rabbit eye 15\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnatomy and physiology of the rabbit eye 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat do rabbits see?
