The Stable Veterinary Handbook

Great Britain: David & Charles, 1990. Hardback. First Edition. The author begins by assembling an essential first aid kit for horse owners, and then moves on to look at a wide range of problems that may be encountered in field and stable. Skin problems, the nervous system and digestive tract, heart and blood disorders, respiratory diseases and lameness are all covered, with the aid of clear and detailed diagrams that pinpoint the site of the problem. In each case advice is given on first aid, practical treatment and any further action, such as isolation of the animal, which should be taken. Most importantly, those instances where veterinary advice should be sought are not ignored. First and forewmost a practical book, it will prove invaluable to all horse owners wishing to understand and treat their horses' ailments themselves, and will undoubtedly fulfill its author's hope that it will 'soon get dirty from frequent use around the stable'.
