Critical Care Management for Laboratory Mice and Rats

Due to the unique nature of developing animal models of human diseases and disorders, many of the standard approaches to veterinary care cannot be applied to the laboratory animal. The first comprehensive resource for common treatment approaches to emergencies and critical cases in laboratory animal medicine, this book shows readers how to administer patient-tailored care based upon knowledge of the characteristics of the animal species, the human disease model of research interest, and practical, economic, and regulatory factors.
