Summary:

MANUAL OF EQUINE GASTROENTEROLOGY provides the equine expert and general veterinary practitioner with a complete review of the latest information on all aspects of equine gastroenterology. Edited by an international team of equine specialists and with over 55 contributors from the USA and Europe, it provides the most up-to-date information on a wide range of conditions such as colic, hepatobiliary disease, oesophageal disorders, diarrhea, gastrointestinal parasites and many more. With detailed chapters on diagnosis and clinical examination, medical and surgical treatment and management of complications, MANUAL OF EQUINE GASTROENTEROLOGY gives veterinarians all the information they need to diagnose and treat any gastrointestinal problem encountered in the horse or foal.
