Description
The latest expanded volume of the "gold standard" in equine
medicine offers detailed guidance on the most up-to-date diagnostic
methods, treatments, and preventive measures for both common and rare
diseases of the horse. It features a systems approach, focusing on
problems associated with each body system, with additional chapters on
toxicology, nutrition, immunizations, and drug classes. New sections in
this edition discuss clinical pharmacology and infectious diseases, and
many new topics have been added to all sections, making it more
comprehensive than ever. Internationally recognized editors and
contributors present cutting edge information and authoritative
perspectives.
