A Field Manual of Camel Diseases
Traditional and Modern Healthcare for the Dromedary
By Ilse Köhler-Rollefson, Paul Mundy, Evelyn Mathias
This is the first practical field manual about camel diseases for
veterinarians and livestock practitioners. This manual was compiled
through a workshop involving 20 of the world's leading camel
specialists, and details some 90 major camel ailments, ranging from
abortions to wry-neck syndrome. For each problem, it gives the symptoms
of the disease, the causes, and simple prevention and treatment methods.
It includes both treatments based on Western veterinary science, as
well as those tried and tested by local healers and herders. The
diseases are organized according to the part of the body affected and
the symptoms.
A section on procedures explains how to examine a camel,
take samples for laboratory analysis, and apply various types of
medicines.Written in clear, simple language and richly illustrated with line drawings by African and Indian artists, this sourcebook is an invaluable aid to camel care.
