raggedybearcat:Hey there vetblr!Do you love rabbits? Alternatively, do you cry when you see a rabbit on the schedule for you, cursing the heavens in futility because you went to USYD like me and they only gave you four hours of formal education to cover everything on rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice and ferrets?Do you want something to tickle your special interest and/or mop up your tears?(Do you like paying international shipping from Australia?)If the answer to any of these questions is “oh boy yes” then do I have the book for you.My clinic has been working on a basic book of rabbit medicine and surgery for the last year and a half, and we’re nearly finished it and I’m getting pretty excited. I’m also keen to show my boss that there’s interest beyond just local clinics, so I thought I’d ask you lovely people. The rabbit clinic does a lot information sharing and resource building, and a couple of years back (just before I joined the team) we released an emergency manual to help vets with less experience with bunnies know what to do in a pinch. That book was 50 pages long, this time we’ve gone to update it and added a whole bunch more, so what we have is a 200+ page how to of everything bun. Chapters include husbandry, behaviour, diet, handling, clinical procedures and techniques, haematology and biochemistry, GIT function and anatomy, dentistry, anaesthesia, neutering and surgical procedures, pain management, antibiotic selection, emergency management and conditions and a guide to reading emergency abdominal radiographs. We’re self publishing, this is not an extensively peer reviewed book, but it’s thoroughly referenced and the aim is for it to be an affordable (fifty australian dollarydoos* + shipping) and accessible start guide for vets who want a bit more information on rabbit medicine. So yeah, if anyone is interested send me a PM of your contact details?(also I’m super proud of our work so this post is also to show off c: )*dollarydoos worth less than most western currencies! -- source link
