ABSTRACT
It is therefore apparent that even the basic knowledge of these exotic pets can be patchy at best. For many of us, the curriculum in veterinary school did not include the majority of these pets and what we learned was probably outdated and wrong. When asked a question in the examination room, often there is no knowledge base to fall back on, and no frame of reference. We need information. This is what this section hopes to accomplish, so that armed with the basics you will feel comfortable with these different pets and also have a source of information to enable you to go further and to diagnose and treat these great pets.
