Presents an updated, authoritative reference for drug dosages and essential information in zoo and wild mammal species

Zoo and Wild Mammal Formulary, Second Edition, delivers a critical update to the only comprehensive reference on drug dosages specifically designed for zoo and wild mammal species. Designed for clarity and efficiency, the formulary allows practitioners to quickly locate accurate, evidence-based information to guide treatment decisions across a diverse range of species.

This thoroughly revised edition provides expanded coverage of taxa, updated dosing data, and detailed treatment discussions for complex conditions. Two new taxa chapters are accompanied by ten new topic-based chapters addressing multifaceted medical issues. Each section has been refined for easier navigation, with new sub-chapters for taxa that exhibit significant distinctions. Providing invaluable insights into outcomes, side effects, and treatment responses, Zoo and Wild Mammal Formulary:

  • Presents updated, evidence-based doses across 30 mammalian taxa, including two new groups
  • Offers an enhanced design with tabs and intuitive chapter navigation
  • Integrates research data, clinical experience, and practical treatment throughout
  • Provides anecdotal doses with context, including side effects and outcomes, to enhance the practical application of the formulary

Written and reviewed by expert zoo veterinarians and specialists in mammalian medicine, Zoo and Wild Mammal Formulary, Second Edition, is essential for zoo, marine mammal, and wildlife veterinarians, exotic animal clinicians, and veterinary students specializing in zoo and wildlife medicine.
