Deer Veterinary Medicine is an essential reference for veterinary professionals preparing for deer encounters. Rooted in extensive field experience, the contributions from a range of authors provide details of common conditions across multiple deer species and the knowledge required by the veterinary professionals who deal with them. The book considers the different contexts where deer are encountered, including wild populations, and deer held in captivity (as farm, park and zoo collections).
The chapters topics range from handling and sedating deer through to nutrition and postmortem examination and pathology. They cover key body systems including the gut, nervous, ocular and respiratory systems, and the skin.
Deer Veterinary Medicine readers will also find:
Detailed consideration of the use of sedation in deer, providing analgesia and methods of euthanasia.
Covers red, roe, fallow, water deer, Reevesโ muntjac, reindeer and white-tailed deer.
Veterinary interventions for reproductive purposes.
Detailed coverage of the management of parasitic diseases.
Consideration of notifiable (including TB and CWD) and zoonotic diseases (E. coli, cryptosporidiosis).
A detailed drug formulary including evidence from published studies.
Edited by the past president of the British Deer Veterinary Association (BDVA), this book synthesizes key contributions by experts from Europe and the US, making it ideal for veterinarians, veterinary surgeons, veterinary students, and readers interested in the management of captive and wild deer.
