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. New edition provides new information on anaesthesia and analgesia, and has an extensively revised and updated bibliography. It also provides a balanced consideration of the needs of scientific research and the welfare of laboratory animals. «
