Deer Veterinary Medicine, 1st Edition, edited by Aiden P. Foster and published by Wiley-Blackwell, functions as a dedicated reference for clinical practice and population health management. The volume presents structured guidance for veterinarians, veterinary surgeons, veterinary students, and professionals overseeing deer in wild, farmed, park, and zoo environments.

Core clinical coverage addresses safe handling, physical restraint, chemical sedation, analgesia, and euthanasia protocols. Subsequent sections detail veterinary interventions for deer reproduction, nutrition, feeding management, and postmortem examination protocols for anatomical pathology. These chapters assist practitioners in evaluating individual patient health alongside population welfare.

Species-specific guidelines encompass red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, water deer, Reeves' muntjac, reindeer, and white-tailed deer. Operating as a successor to Management and Diseases of Deer: A Handbook for Veterinary Surgeons (last published in 1994), this 496-page reference supports clinical decision-making across varied captive and free-ranging environments.
