sticking with it! August 22, 2007
I am a rabbit owner (of 10!) rather than a vet and recently bought this book to try and help me understand the various drugs/treatments that the vet gives my rabbits when theyhave problems. Despite its obviously academic approach and technical landguage it has already helped me understand more about how myxi jabs work, and the various impacts on the rabbit of E. cunniculi. For the dedicated rabbit owner this book is extremely enlightening - and one can always 'google' thewords you don't understand first time round. I would recommend this and Rabbitlopedia as my two must haves for the person who has a real involvement in rabbits, whether that be a vet, vet nurse, rescue centre or particularly involved owner. The description of the gut alone was worth it!!

This book is suitable for rabbit owners who are interested in the health of their pet and want to learn more. Worth every penny, as everything and anything about rabbits is included in this book. If its not in here, I wouldn't believe it.
Not just for vets! January 10, 2006
Frances Harcourt-Brown is a leading authority on rabbit medicine/care and this is reflected in the Textbook Of Rabbit Medicine. Covering topics from diet and husbandry through to anaesthesia and analgesia, this is not just a valuable tool for vets but also for the scientifically-minded owner. This book covers a wide range of subjects in more detail than can be found in a number of other books on the same subject making it great value for money. Having said that, surgical procedures are only touched upon and I would not recommend this book for those wanting to specialise in this area. All in all a fantastic book - a long-awaited step in the right direction for rabbit medicine!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about rabbit medicine. I have also read the BSAVA manual of rabbit medicine and found Harcourts book giving far more value for the money.

Frances Harcourt-Brown is a highly respected vet with many years' experience in general practice, and is well known as an expert on rabbits, having published various influential papers on rabbit disease. As a small animal vet who sees more rabbits than most, I have found this book absolutely invaluable. It comprehensively covers all areas of rabbit medicine, and deals both with well-understood and simple conditions, and with those poorly understood at the time of publication (such as Encephalitozoon cuniculi). The illustrations are clear and helpful.
Although the book is clearly written, it is certainly intended for vets rather than pet owners, and I would think it would provide far more detail than the average pet owner would require. Another consideration is that Mrs Harcourt-Brown is British; for me, that's an advantage, but I don't know how many drugs, etc that she mentions would be readily available in other countries. Also, this is a book of medicine, and as such doesn't cover surgical techniques in any detail.
However, I would highly recommend this book to any vet who seriously wants to consolidate their knowledge of rabbit medicine. All veterinary textbooks are expensive, but in my opinion this one more than justifies its cost. I can't think of a case I've treated where it didn't provide me with at least some helpful information.
