For over twenty years The Professional Handbook has been the definitive text for veterinary surgeons and others with a serious interest in donkey medicine and surgery. Much of the knowledge in this book comes from the meticulous records kept on every donkey at The Donkey Sanctuary in Devon, England. The skill of the Sanctuary's veterinary surgeons, non-intrusive research and observations by the staff who care daily for the donkeys have contributed greatly. In this 4th edition, the contents have been completely revised and expanded and new chapters and a formulary have been added. Chapters include: nutrition, colic, hyperlipaemia, dental problems, parasites, respiratory problems, skin disorders, wound management, the foot, conditions of the eye, clinical pharmacology, care of the geriatric donkey, exotic infections, anaesthesia and sedation, surgery, reproduction, nursing care, community animal health workers, and performing a post-mortem. With appendices on: physiological, haematological and biochemical parameters; formulary; hearth girth nomogram; nutrient content of common foods fed to donkeys in the UK; care of orphaned and rejected foals; ophthalmic exam sheets, dental exam sheets (Triadan chart) and post-mortem form; rig test; fertility of mules; and useful information. This book is indispensable to veterinarians working with donkeys and mules anywhere in the world. Profusely illustrated in color.
