Diseases have been covered in chapters dedicated to systems [...] There are two absolute standouts of this book that I haven’t encountered in many other books before. There are two successive chapters on ‘Setting Up and Equipping a Reptile Practice’ and ‘The Reptile Consultation’, which provide beautiful guiding principles for getting into this growing field, right down to marketing of the service. The second standout is chapter 17: ‘Differential Diagnoses: A Problem-Based Approach’. The chapter runs for 36 pages and contains nothing but lists of differentials for common presenting signs of the four major reptile taxa: snakes, lizards, chelonians and crocodilians. Every major disease text should contain such a chapter and I cannot wait until the authors release the searchable app for this. [...] The text probably won’t contain the level of information a reptilian disease researcher might covet, but would be perfect for the general practitioner looking to start in reptiles, the general practitioner faced with a single question from a keen owner, the already established reptile expert and most certainly would be perfect for those veterinarians embarking upon membership examinations to Australian and New Zealand College in exotic pet\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003emedicine.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAustralian Veterinary Journal Volume 97 No 10, October 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Bob Doneley\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor and Head of the Avian and Exotic Pet Service at the School of Veterinary Science, University of Queensland, Australia.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Deborah Monks\u003c\/b\u003e is the principal of the Brisbane Bird and Exotics Veterinary Service, Australia.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Robert Johnson\u003c\/b\u003e is the principal of the South Penrith Veterinary Clinic, Australia.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Brendan Carmel\u003c\/b\u003e is the principal of the Warranwood Veterinary Centre, Australia.      \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e A concise and practical quick reference guide to treating reptiles in first opinion veterinary practice \u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Reptile Medicine and Surgery in Clinical Practice\u003c\/i\u003e is the ideal guide for the busy veterinarian treating reptile cases.
