An invaluable reference dedicated to the equine back, providing comprehensive coverage by international specialists. Equine Back Pathology: Diagnosis and Treatment is the first book to explore conditions and problems of the horses back and pelvis, which are often difficult to diagnose and treat.

* complementary therapy and rehabilitation
This book is a vital tool for those engaged in improving the diagnosis and management of all horses with back problems.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This textbook appears to fill a unique niche in veterinary medicine because I am not aware of other textbooks with similar content. The textbook is well organized and clearly written. One outstanding feature of this textbook is the illustrations, with beautiful diagrams and photographs of diagnostic images and horses with specific conditions." (Vet Med Today, 15 June 2010) The textbook is well organized and clearly written. One outstanding feature of this textbook is the illustrations, with beautiful diagrams and photographs of diagnostic images and horses with specific conditions. The figures are representative of points made in the text. The price is reasonable when considering the high quality of this publication." (Vet Med Today, August 2010)"There is no other single source of this much information on the equine back. It is well worth the investment to have available in one book the vast array of information this provides." (Doody's, April 2010) "This textbook appears to fill a unique niche in veterinary medicine because I am not aware of other textbooks with similar content. One outstanding feature of this textbook is the illustrations, with beautiful diagrams and photographs of diagnostic images and horses with specific conditions. The figures are representative of points made in the text." (JAVMA, June 2010) "Overall, for the equine clinician this is an extremely useful, clear and concise book, which should be available in all equine practices. It fulfils my original hopes by clarifying and giving structure to the examination and thought processes involved, and providing a resource of all relevant information in one place." (The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, July 2010) "It should prove to be an excellent reference for any practitioner when they get the inevitable call to examine a horse with back pain."
