The administration of safe and reliable anaesthesia is important for all veterinary surgeons, and good control of pain after injury, either traumatic or surgical, is one of the most important ethical responsibilities.

This new edition has retained the broad sections from the previous edition - Basic principles, Pharmacology and Anaesthetic management in specific clinical situations - but the new co-editorial team has added a new section on Pain assessment and management.

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons suggests that all veterinary
surgeons provide emergency service for wildlife casualties and that such
care enhances the public perception of the profession. A variety of
wild birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish are presented to
veterinary surgeries by the general public as a result of injury,
disease or being found apparently abandoned. Success in treating
wildlife casualties depends not only upon the clinical skills of the
practitioner, but also encompasses nursing staff and those involved in

This book is the proceedings of the Canine Osteoarthritis events held in Launceston in March and in Adelaide in June, 2009. Dr Chris Preston presented a comprehensive review of the most common conditions which lead to lameness in dogs was presented to course participants. Systemically covered was the shoulder, elbow carpus, hip, knee and tarsus. For each condition discussed those attending learned about physical examination techniques, radiographic features, medical management strategies and surgical treatment options.

At the Canine Medicine event held on Sunday November 9, 2008 at the Rydges Hotel in Port Macquarie NSW, presenter Graham Swinney covered a broad range of topics using an interactive and case-based approach. Graham illustrated how to get the most out of routine clinical pathology using both routine tests and useful but less routine ones; rational approaches to fevers that have an unknown cause in patients including tests for common and less common causes and how to deal with anaemia, regenerative and non-regenerative.

This one day Avian and Exotic Animal course presented by the well-known Australian avian veterinarian Dr Mike Cannon in Canberra in May and at Port Macquarie in November 2009 focused on the treatment of birds, reptiles and exotic mammals such as rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats and mice. The objective of this course was to present the latest up-to-date clinical information with case reports and discussion in a format that can be readily applied in practice.
The sessions were:
. Clinical Examination: The patient has arrived, what do I do now? What you and your staff can do to begin the process of arriving at a diagnosis when an avian or exotic patient presents for a diagnosis.
. Diagnostics: Clinical Pathology and Imaging - case reports and discussion to demonstrate how to use these diagnostic modalities effectively in a practice.
. Common problems in avian, reptilian and small mammalian patients - further case reports and discussion of common presentations in birds, reptiles, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats and mice.
