The Veterinary Care of the Horse by Sue Devereux
This veterinary handbook for horseowners presents each condition under headings which include the cause, treatment, potential complications, prevention and prognosis. Basic procedures such as cleaning a wound, poulticing, giving an intramuscular injection, feeding a sick horse and disinfecting stable and clothing are laid out in a step-by-step format. Advice is given on such matters as choosing horse insurance and having a horse vetted, and topics such as drugs and the competition horse are discussed.
