The internationally respected editors and authors have combined to produce this major new textbook and reference source in a single volume, covering all aspects of equine medicine, surgery and reproduction. The text is supported by a wealth of over 1200 illustrations of the highest quality - colour photographs, radiographic and ultrasound images, and diagrams. The book is systems-based and each individual system is introduced with precise information on the relevant basic anatomy and physiology, standard clinical examination techniques and useful differential diagnostic aids. This is followed by diseases and disorders that are pertinent to that system, grouped together either anatomically or based on presenting clinical signs. Each condition is described using consistent headings - definition/overview, aetiology and pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, differential diagnoses, management/treatment, and prognosis. Additional chapters deal with the foal, with wounds and behavioural problems.
The focus throughout is on providing clinically relevant information required for practical case management, plus sufficient background on causes and disease processes to enable readers to understand the conditions and the rationale for diagnostic and treatment options.
Equine Medicine and Surgery will be of lasting value as a teaching and training resource for equine specialists, a ready reference for non-specialist practitioners, and a textbook for students in veterinary medicine and related equine courses.

The authors set out to provide a text that could be well used on a day-to-day basis, and this is exactly what they have achieved.

-Marion McCullagh, Veterinary Practice, February 2012
For the next generation of mixed practice vets, recent graduates and clinical students, Munroe and Weese have created a great first point of reference... The contributor list is impressive... The information contained in each section is sufficient to allow a thorough initial examination, to inform the client on their horse's condition and to direct the next diagnostic or therapeutic step... should be an essential part of any general practice's library.
