Having begun working with falcons 15 years ago, veterinarian Muller now directs the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, and boasts Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates as the cradle of falcon medicine in the 21st century. She offers a broad reference to caring for and curing the hunting birds for falconers, raptor rehabilitators, zoological parks, and general practice veterinarians who encounter them too rarely to be well versed in them. Her topics include species information, molting, first aid, laboratory examination, feather and skin problems, fungal diseases, viral diseases, orthopedic problems and surgery, and intensive care.
