Ophthalmology of Exotic Pets

Ophthalmology of Exotic Pets Review



This quick reference handbook covers the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease in a range of exotic companion animal species, including rabbits, rodents, reptiles, birds, amphibians and fish. It clarifies when extrapolation from cat or dog eyes is appropriate, or when new information is needed to ensure that diagnoses and treatments are appropriate for the particular species. Writing in an accessible and down to earth style, the author brings a wealth of personal experience to this specialised subject area. The book contains many ophthalmic photographs of both anatomy in normal eyes and pathology in abnormal cases. It also includes a separate chapter on the common ophthalmic features of exotic pets, discussing what can be learnt from cross-species comparison and another chapter giving a brief history of comparative ophthalmology.

Ophthalmology of Exotic Pets is an invaluable aid for veterinary practitioners and students with an interest in exotic pet species, as well as for veterinary ophthalmologists.

KEY FEATURES

  • Dimensions: 10 in. h x 8.5 in. w x 0.4 in. d
  • Weight: 1.07 ounces
  • Made in US
Anyone can make cute and cuddly creatures from a handful of fluff and a barbed needle! There are only a few books written on the subject and most of those focus on ‘flat’ needle felting on a surface. This book is about sculptural needle felting—creating 3-D animals and figures using the felting needle to sculpt wool.

 

The book shows the techniques and describes how the felting needle works with wool fiber to create felt, while explaining the differences between this art form and other forms of felting. The reader learns how to hold the needle, what sort of materials to use, and why.

 

There are about 20 complete projects including various birds, bugs, four-legged animals, and people—each one unique and irresistible! Laurie also shows the reader ways to display their felted creations as mobiles, ornaments, or arranged in shadow boxes.

Pets In Paradise

Pets In Paradise Review



When we lose a pet the experience is heartbreaking and emotional. In my new novel, we get a peek into 'their' Paradise, along with a glimpse of what they are up to. One thing is for sure...we never forget them and they never forget us. This is a heartwarming novel and will lift your spirit and cause you to recall any of your pets who are now having a fun time in Paradise.

A sweet book for all animal lovers, especially those who have lost a pet...soothing enjoyment filled with comforting and funny dialogues.
Cindy Barnes, Va. Beach, VA
____

Lighthearted, yet written with deep adoration for the animal kingdom. The explicit descriptions of the pets' capers and gestures deliver laughter and pure reading enjoyment!
Marney Sanders, Va. Beach, VA

____

This is a story that everyone who loves animals should read - from the moment they can read, to the day they forget how to read - in other words, every age group. It's written well enough to entertain adults, and all the kids I know would love it. It won't make you shudder in horror, bite your nails in suspense, or gnash your teeth about political stupidity. It WILL touch your heart, and I suggest you have tissues nearby, as the author expertly conveys the emotion involved in losing a beloved companion animal. Somehow, I find great comfort in imagining my beloved furry friends cavorting through a meadow in Paradise, chasing butterflies and comparing notes about the humans they spent time with. I'd give it ten stars if I could.
Amazon 5-star Review by author Lee Schultz.

Reviews are always appreciated. Enjoy!

Pets 2: Pani's Story

Pets 2: Pani's Story Review



There is no panic quite like waking up in a strange house with no memory of how you’d got there…unless that strange house is also located on a planet inhabited by giants who look on humans as fascinating, child-like pets. For Judy, a successful, liberated woman, being forced into perpetual infancy is intolerable. But how to go about convincing her new ‘Papa’ that she is not a cute and clever animal, but a species of person in her own right. Stubborn and willful and absolutely determined to win back her freedom at any cost…and that includes at the cost of her bottom!


Note: It is by popular request that I’ve gone back to write Pets: Bach’s Story from Pani’s point of view. This fantasy ageplay story involves an adult woman, is a darker Sci-fi than the first book, and the discipline is more severe. The ageplay is forced on Pani at first, so if that doesn't appeal to you, please don't buy this book.
