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.
