Essentials of Parrot Medicine and Surgery is for veterinarians treating parrots in general practice. Designed as a quick reference, the book is applicable to the most commonly kept parrot species and covers essentials including anatomy, nutrition, history-taking, pathology and imaging. A range of surgical options are also presented by anatomical regions and include biopsy and anaesthesia.

Built on these principles, the authors also provide an entire section on differential diagnostics. Logically arranged by presenting signs such as regurgitation, feather disorders, dropped wings, lameness and parasites.
