A guide to the care and treatment of deer for veterinary professionals

Deer Veterinary Medicine is an essential reference for veterinary professionals preparing for deer encounters. Rooted in extensive field experience, the contributions from a range of authors provide details of common conditions across multiple deer species and the knowledge required by the veterinary professionals who deal with them. The book considers the different contexts where deer are encountered, including wild populations, and deer held in captivity (as farm, park and zoo collections).

The chapters topics range from handling and sedating deer through to nutrition and postmortem examination and pathology. They cover key body systems including the gut, nervous, ocular and respiratory systems, and the skin.

Deer Veterinary Medicine readers will also find:

  • Detailed consideration of the use of sedation in deer, providing analgesia and methods of euthanasia.
  • Coverage of species including red, roe, fallow, water deer, Reeves' muntjac, reindeer and white-tailed deer.
  • Coverage of veterinary interventions for reproductive purposes.
  • Detailed consideration of the management of parasitic diseases.
  • Detailed consideration of notifiable (including TB and CWD) and zoonotic diseases (including E. coli and cryptosporidiosis).
  • A detailed drug formulary including, where available, evidence from published studies

Edited by the past president of the British Deer Veterinary Association (BDVA) this book is a fitting successor to Management and Diseases of Deer: A Handbook for Veterinary Surgeons, last published in 1994 by the Veterinary Deer Society (now the BDVA). Synthesizing key contributions by a range of experts from Europe and the US, the new Deer Veterinary Medicine is ideal for veterinarians, veterinary surgeons and veterinary students, as well as readers interested in the management of captive and wild deer.
