James W. Carpenter

I dedicate this book to my wife, Landa, without whose support I would not be the veterinarian I am today. I thank her for all of her patience and understanding during those months that I always seemed to have a draft chapter to edit. I am also indebted to Dr. James W. Carpenter for including me on this project, in addition to the many opportunities in exotic animal medicine that I have had over the years that can be directly or indirectly linked to him.
