Ferret Husbandry, Medicine and Surgery by John Henry Lewington

"Ferret Husbandry, Medicine & Surgery" sets out to inform the veterinary practitioner on the broad spectrum of conditions relating to the domestic ferret, incorporating basic husbandry, medicine and surgery. Various clinical cases have been included to provide tips for best practice. John Lewington graduated from the RVC and worked in both mixed and small animal practice before emigrating to Australia in the early 1970s. Founder member of Western Australia Ferret and Ferreting Society (WAFFS) in 1982 and a member of the International Ferret Association, he has written extensively on many aspects of ferret medicine and surgery, and is well-known throughout the world as an authority on this species. "Ferret Husbandry, Medicine & Surgery" is an essential purchase for all who come into contact with ferrets - whether professionally or personally.

Ferret Husbandry, Medicine and Surgery Reviews

"...the absolute ultimate in the field of ferret keeping.

...I cannot believe there is a ferret keeper in the world who would not benefit by reading it."Shooting Times & Country Magazine, November 2000
combination of North American medicine and practical European husbandry makes the book uncommonly well balanced, providing a truly ferret world view.

Dr Lewington s chapters on ferret medicine are the best information in print for Australian and New Zealand veterinarians, and probably UK and European veterinarians.

I certainly recommend Ferret Husbandry, Medicine and Surgery as an essential textbook to any veterinarians in Australia or New Zealand who sees ferrets.

The chapters on husbandry alone make the book a worthwhile purchase. The other sections are bonuses that may or may not be to your liking, but are informative and guaranteed to improve clinical expertise." Thomas Donnelly BVSc, Dip Vet Path, Dip ACLAM
