3rd Edition
This enlarged third edition of The Veterinary Care of the Horse brings
the reader up-to-date with recent developments in equine medicine and
surgery. For ease of reference, each condition is explained under
headings which include the causes, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment,
prevention and prognosis. It is appreciated that it is not always easy
to remember every detail of the vet's instructions when coping with a
sick or injured horse. For this reason, recommendations regarding
everyday procedures such as cleaning a wound, poulticing and bandaging
are laid out in a step-by-step format. Chapters include; The Healthy
Horse; Preventive Medicine; the Ill or Injured Horse; Examination of the
Lame or Poor Performance Horse; Diagnostic Procedures and Imaging
Techniques; Conditions of the Horse's Foot; Tendon and Ligament
Injuries; Joint Injury and Disease; Synovial Effusions; Conditions
affecting Bone; Muscle Disease and Neurological Conditions; The Horse's
Spine and Pelvis; Therapies; Complementary Therapies; Respiratory
Conditions;
The Horse's Heart and the Circulatory System; The Digestive
System; The Horse's Skin; The Reproductive System; Endocrine Disorders;
Eye Injury and Disease; Behaviour Problems; Veterinary Care of the
Donkey; Veterinary Procedures and finally, Further Advice and Practical
Tips.
