Still a very worthy one for the shelf

Your vet sounds like a good one!
She is a great vet, I've known her for 25 years. She's says when she not in, the other vets use the book if they need to, but they do have a hot line to John Chitty too. It might be a good book for your son.

Yes, that's what I thought too. The information in lots of the veterinary textbooks is shocking for exotics!! He's lucky as one of the vets gave him loads of his books plus all his PDF downloads.

Is it a book you can read or just one to refer to. I wish there were more Tortoise books like Wolfgang's for a good old read through - always learning. CB

I'm sure you could do both if you wanted, but from what I've seen ( looking at the bit about respiratory issues, with my vet) it's more of a reference sort of book. I'll let you know more when I get it.

I'm looking forward to receiving it, CB. I'll let you know once it's here what I think. I'm hoping for a reasonable amount of pictures/photos/diagrams.
