Comprehensive Guide to Equine
Veterinary Medicine, The, Crabbe
352 pages, 10-1/4 x 7-3/4 (Hardcover)
Horses are among the most complex creatures
in the animal kingdom: so much can go wrong
so quickly. And when it does, these delicate,
injury prone beasts need swift treatment.
Otherwise, a simple eating disorder might
rapidly lead to death and a minor hoof injury to
permanent lameness. To make things even more difficult, equine
veterinary care is costly and insurance prohibitively expensive.
That’s why any horse owner, as well as equine veterinarians and
students of veterinary medicine, must have this ultimate resource
on hand. The Comprehensive Guide to Equine Veterinary Medicine
is a thorough, carefully designed medical reference featuring
four-color anatomical drawings by the most acclaimed veterinary
illustrator 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. 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. In addition, there’s an informative history of
veterinary procedures, followed by three valuable appendices with
terminology, common medications, and advice for the first-time
horse owner. A selection of the Equestrian Book Club. Photos.
