Focusing on the most effective physical restraint techniques, the book provides essential information for ensuring the safety of both the handler and animal.

Restraint and Handling of Wild and Domestic Animals is an unparalleled source of information on this core skill for veterinarians, veterinary students, end technician alike."--BOOK JACKET. |
