Provides clear, concise and practical advice on laboratory animal anaesthesia  The additions and amendments to this new edition reflect developments in anaesthetic practice and changes in our attitudes towards laboratory animal welfare. Standards of anaesthesia for laboratory animals have increased greatly since the publication of the second edition, and the use of technically demanding procedures have become much more widespread. This new edition attempts to balance the need for additional information in these areas with the main goal of the first edition: the provision of an introductory text for new investigators.
