Synopsis

This is the only equine book on the market devoted solely to internal medicine. This problem-oriented book is organised into two primary sections. Part 1 is problem-based focusing on the mechanisms underlying disease and the principles underlying treatment. Part 2 is a body systems approach to common problems. Here individual diseases are discussed in terms of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment. There are special and timely chapters on critical care, diseases of foals, and epidemiology.

About this title

Review

"The authors have successfully brought explanations of the mechanisms behind complicated disease, with clinical tests and laboratory findings onto treatment options, all under one roof, in a way which enables it to be referenced quickly, and easily but to provide an in-depth source of reference which invariably leaves the reader feeling much more knowledgeable about a specific topic after reading the appropriate chapter. The detail of the text is very effectively reinforced by tables and diagrams which summarised the information and so the student of inexperienced clinician need not be intimidated to reach in and to delve for more information"
