Publisher's Synopsis
Explains the latest methods of gross and clinical restraint, helping handlers comply with federal and state regulations for humane care of animals.
The objectives of this new edition, as with the first, are to present discussions and illustrations of the principles of animal restraint and to describe restraint practices for diverse species of vertebrae wild and domestic animals. The techniques discussed are not all inclusive but have been used successfully by the author and respected colleagues. One of the more significant changes in general restraint is the development of chemical restraint. Effective drug use and methods for chemical restraint of animal groups are included.
