The Comprehensive Guide to Equine Veterinary Medicine

"The Comprehensive Guide to Equine Veterinary Medicine" is a thorough, carefully designed medical reference featuring four-colour anatomical drawings by the most acclaimed illustrator in veterinary illustration, Kip Carter. It covers all areas of equine health, including diagnosis and treatment, and delves into basic equine behavior and safety, preventive health care, and first aid. Twelve in-depth chapters outline the individual body systems, anatomy and physiology, and abnormalities (complete with problem, symptom, diagnosis, and treatment). A Health Care section includes alternative therapies such as acupuncture and homeopathy, along with options for rehabilitation and physical therapy. Critical information appears in tables, charts, side bars, and bulleted lists for quick access and easy absorption.
