Every horse owner has experienced that feeling of helplessness when something is wrong with his or her animal.

Readers will find detailed assessments of the cause, symptoms and treatment of every known equine disease, enabling them to access relevant information as quickly as possible. It also offers two cross-referenced routes for finding the necessary guidance: 1) via an index of known equine diseases throughout the world, and 2) an alphabetical encyclopedia of specific diseases. Full-color photographs accompanying various maladies aid in identifying specific conditions.

Including the latest research from all over the world, this book is a must-have for veterinary surgeons and students, and the perfect addition to the bookshelves of amateur and professional horse owners alike.
