Greg J. Harrison, DVM, Dipl ABVP-Avian, Dipl ECAMS and Teresa Lightfoot, DVM, Dipl ABVP have compiled the expertise and experience of 50 international contributing authors (and 50 reviewers) to produce an extraordinary two-volume reference for veterinarians and other avian health professionals.

As Dr. Harrison puts it, “Because medicine and surgery of captive birds has become more mainstream in clinical veterinary practice, there are already available a number of comprehensive reference texts to serve the avian practitioner. The purpose of Clinical Avian Medicine is to provide some highlights of emerging thoughts, techniques and procedures that are currently being assimilated into avian practice.”

Clinical Avian Medicine is an exciting new work that offers topics of concern to contemporary avian practitioners from fresh perspectives. Published in full color with many step-by-step procedures, this text is sure to become a significant practical reference for the enthusiastic avian clinician.
