Summary:

Kentucky-based equine veterinarians Bernard and Barr, with a little help from colleagues, provide clinicians a reference on diagnosing and treating young horses. For a wide range of disorder types, they explain how to make a presumptive diagnosis from physical and clinical examination findings, to consider the relevant pathophysiology of the conditions they detail, to compile a list of differential diagnoses, to confirm the diagnosis with laboratory testing and advanced diagnostics, and to plan the therapeutic course to be taken. Among the topics are the physical examination, infectious diseases, alimentary tract disorders, respiratory disorders, muscle and neuromuscular junction disorders, dermatological disorders, neoplasia, and pharmacology. The book is well illustrated. Distributed in the US by Theime Medical Publishers. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
