As the popularity of non-traditional companion animals grows, there is an increasing need for dedicated information on drug use in these animals. The BSAVA Small Animal Formulary, 11th edition – Part B: Exotic Pets covers mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The drug monographs have been comprehensively reviewed and updated by the Editorial Panel, with new drugs added and additional information including a new table on antimicrobial susceptibility and guidelines on the responsible use of parasiticides. This online version includes a revised table covering proprietary medicines for fish, and a new series of tables covering doses for British wildlife.

Treatment of exotic pets can be challenging because of the wide variety of species and conditions that may be encountered. This new edition includes new drugs and expanded information on other drugs, reflecting the latest knowledge, with primary references where available. Dosages cover small mammals (including primates, sugar gliders and hedgehogs as well as rodents, rabbits and ferrets), birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians. Also includes expanded guidance on antibiotics, parasiticides, and sedation protocols for fish.

For core drug information in dogs and cats, this volume should always be used alongside BSAVA Small Animal Formulary, Part A: Canine and Feline, which covers standard pharmacology in small animal practice.
