Book Description
This illustrated book is the first "how-to" manual of clinical equine examinations. Provides in a simple, informative manner all of the skills necessary to perform an equine diagnostic exam. The text is divided into three sections, covering the handling of horses, the general clinical examination, and the special examination. A valuable tool for assessing the condition of equine patients! Section 1, "Handling Horses", describes the basics of physical and chemical restraint. Section 2 details what every general clinical examination should include, from history taking through confirmation to gross aspects of the body regions. The remaining chapters cover the specific examination of each individual body system, and also address the prepurchase examination, diet evaluation, and field necropsy. Over 600 superb figures illustrate a full range of examination methods and their findings. Appendices provide additional information on Endoscopic Instrumentation, Ultrasonography, Clinical Bacteriology, Evaluation of Pleural and Peritoneal Samples, Sample Contamination with Blood, and Needle Biopsy.
