This is in my opinion the best reference available on the topic of reptile medicine and surgery. It is well organized, up-to-date and well written. Dr. Mader along with his contributors are all very well respected in this field and provide the most current knowledge on the subject. This text is a must for anyone who sees these animals in their practice or for someone wanting to add these species to their practice.
If you had to own ONE book as a reference in reptile medicine and surgery, this is the book to own. Compared to Frye’s books, this book is extremely concise and to the point. Unlike Frye’s book the pictures are black and white, and some of the anatomy diagrams are quite simplistic, but they illustrate all the things that need to be illustrated.
The book is extremely well organized and the index lets you find things quite readily. This book provides all the basic information that any general veterinarian would need to see reptiles in practice. The book is not entirely comprehensive, but it is a great general source upon which to build, and the exotic animal specialist will need other sources to be current. The reptile formulary is concise and to the point, but not exhaustive and the reader should consult other supplemental sources for drug dosages.
In the back, there is a chapter on Amphibian medicine by Dr. Kevin Wright. Although brief, it is well written and, since Dr. Wright took about 10 years (maybe longer?) to write his own book, an excellent reference on the subject.
I recommend this book to everybody. Dr. Mader has followed on Dr. Frye’s famous shoes quite nicely by making a general reference that is available to and easy to use by everybody. As of today, in December 2001, the fact that Dr. Mader’s book may be lacking in some areas is a tribute to itself, for it is responsible for launching a rapid growth in reptile medical techniques and clinical knowledge since it became available.
As an advanced herp keeper, I held off on getting this book for a while, intimidated by the price tag. Since taking the plunge, I regret only the money I spent on other books before getting this one. Not that there isn’t good information available elsewhere, but Mader’s book is the standard to which it’s all compared.
Once you’ve gotten past Iguanas for Dummies (or other appropriate species-specific husbandry information), this is the book that will take you to the next level.
