A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Horses are among the most complex creatures in the animal kingdom: so much can go wrong so quickly. And when it does, these delicate, injury prone beasts need swift treatment. Otherwise, a simple eating disorder might rapidly lead to death and a minor hoof injury to permanent lameness. To make things even more difficult, equine veterinary care is costly and insurance prohibitively expensive. Thats why any horse owner, as well as equine veterinarians and students of veterinary medicine, must have this ultimate resource on hand. The Comprehensive Guide to Equine Veterinary Medicine is a thorough, carefully designed medical reference featuring four-colour anatomical drawings by the most acclaimed veterinary illustrator Kip Carter. It covers all areas of equine health, including diagnosis and treatment, and delves into basic equine behaviour and safety, preventive health care, and first aid.

Critical information appears in tables, charts, side bars, and bulleted lists for quick access. In addition, theres an informative history of veterinary procedures, followed by three valuable appendices with terminology, common medications, and advice for the first-time horse owner.
