This wide-ranging review is divided into four sections - small mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, ornamental fish - and consists of an introduction to the essential aspects of medicine and husbandry of each group of animals, 400 color-illustrated clinical cases, plus summary questions to highlight key points.
The Rapid Review is designed to appeal to veterinary practitioners dealing with an ever-wider variety of animals: - veterinary instructors and students,
- technicians,
- nurses and assistants, and
- to other animal health professionals in practice and training.

- "A fun and interesting way to learn about these species, and provides pithy and accurate, up to date assessments of most of the common conditions and problems that will present in this diverse group of animals.
