of Dairy Cattle, 3rd Edition - your all-in-one guide to bovine
disease management. Organized by body system for quick, convenient
reference, this complete resource equips practitioners and students
with the knowledge needed to confidently diagnose, treat, and
prevent bovine disease. All chapters are updated from the previous
edition to reflect the most up-to-date diagnostics and
therapeutics, including revised drug usage considerations. An
entirely new chapter for this third edition provides easy-to-read,
but detailed information on diagnostic laboratory sample submission
so that you will know what tests are available and the proper
samples to submit. Another entirely new chapter focuses on diseases
of the bull. More color photographs and illustrations are provided
so that clinical signs and pathology of the diseases and diagnostic
procedures commonly used in practice can be visualized. With
expanded coverage of herd diseases, this new edition meets the
growing need for management of both diseases of individual cows and
medical problems affecting whole herds. Practical overviews for
procedures such as blood transfusion, abdominal paracentesis, and
ECG give you reliable support for some of the most common
procedures in bovine care. A logical and user-friendly body systems
organization makes diagnosis easier and more effective by isolating
system-specific diseases and conditions. Additional public
health/safety considerations identify diseases that pose a
substantial public threat and detail special measures for related
care of dairy cattle. Addresses the latest treatment innovations,
including: antibiotic residue testing, care of individual metabolic
disease, troubleshooting, and much more. Expanded, up-to-date
coverage of public health/food safety considerations for
practitioners helps to prevent dangerous and costly errors. Current
legal and practical considerations for extra label medications are

according to federal guideline changes, to help ensure that you are
familiar with the latest evidence-based guidelines. NEW! All-new
chapter covering diseases specific to or common in the dairy bull
offers valuable new content that makes this the most comprehensive
resource for veterinary students and practitioners. NEW! A
companion website, hosted by Cornell University with more than 60
neurologic, ultrasound, and endoscopic case study videos,
illustrates key concepts discussed throughout the book and brings
to life a variety of techniques that are more easily visualized
than described in print. UPDATED! Expanded coverage of herd health
features diseases of individual cows, as well as problems affecting
entire herds, that challenge today's large animal veterinarians.

Veterinary Medicine is a comprehensive textbook of the diseases of
cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and goats that addresses the needs of
both students and large/mixed animal veterinary practitioners. It
has come to be extensively used as a reference by veterinarians
around the world: it has attained international relevance,
recognition and acceptance with several translations. For the new
11th edition Ken Hinchcliff and Peter Constable are joined as
editors by Professor Stanley Done, a distinguished authority on the
diseases of pigs, and by [a fourth European editor tbc], giving an
editorial team of international scope and expertise. The new
edition has been reorganized into two volumes for ease of use and
offers many new features and topics. The text has been reviewed in
its entirety and edited for concision while retaining the same
level of detail and scope of coverage, and the references have been
comprehensively updated since the previous edition. With this
revised edition of Veterinary Medicine a companion App is also
offered, which presentsin handy mobile format differential
diagnoses, synopses of key points from the book, and tips and
practical hints on therapeutics. When used in conjunction, the
Veterinary Medicine book and App make an unbeatable reference that
combines all the benefits of comprehensiveness with the convenience
of portability . Comprehensive coverage includes information
essential to any large-animal veterinarian, especially those
working with horses, cattle, sheep, goats, or pigs. Coverage of
diseases addresses major large-animal diseases of all countries,
including foreign animal and emerging diseases. User-friendly
format makes it easier to quickly absorb key information. Quick
review/synopsis sections make important information on complex
diseases easy to find. NEW! Convenient, easy-access format is
organized by organ systems, and divides the content into two
compact volumes with the same authoritative coverage. Nearly 200
new color photographs and line drawings are included in this
edition. NEW full-color design improves navigation, clarifies
subject headings, and includes more boxes, tables, and charts for
faster reference. New Diseases Primarily Affecting the Reproductive
System chapter is added. Updated and expanded chapter on
pharmacotherapy lists therapeutic interventions and offers
treatment boxes and principles of antibiotic use. Expanded sections
on herd health include biosecurity and infection control, and
valuable Strength of Evidence boxes. NEW or extensively revised
sections include topics such as the Schmallenberg and Bluetongue
viral epidemics of ruminants in Europe, Wesselbron disease in
cattle, hypokalemia in adult cattle, equine multinodular pulmonary
fibrosis, Hendra virus infection, porcine reproductive and
respiratory syndrome, torque teno virus, and numerous recently
identified congenital and inherited disorders of large animals.

An eastern European father, a Yorkshire childhood, 6th form at a
boy's school, events officer for Young Farmers, student
physiotherapist at Manchester Royal Infirmary during the Yorkshire
Ripper years, intrepid pioneer of sidesaddle hunting,
commander-in-chief to a notorious political husband - these are
just some of the themes that make this new book so compelling. But
what really makes this story so remarkable is the author herself,
and the focus and determination with which she drew on her
experiences to influence her unique and transformative career as
one of the county's leading equine physiotherapy specialists.
Mirroring the way Katie and her husband tackle life, this book
challenges the `rules' to create something refreshingly new.
Instead of taking the easy option of writing a book about the
evolution of modern equine physiotherapy, Katie has found a
bewitching way to envelop it within her own story - her
autobiography - as an irresistible means for growing wider interest
in this fascinating topic. So, Katie's readers will typically come
from two camps - lovers of biography who will relish the
page-turning way that she relates her escapades and life-forming
experiences; and equestrians (professional and amateur alike) who
will eagerly absorb every detail and colour as she describes her
experience of breeding, showing, training, hunting and, of course,
healing horses. Thus, whilst this is a `horsey' book, the ultimate
test will be the number of readers from the biography camp who
thoroughly enjoy their dip into the equine world with Katie as
guide. And in this book that is a given. The book is so well
thought out that by the time the horse novice reaches the treatment
descriptions, they will feel that they have known horses all their
life. There is a serious vein in the book too. As an expert in her
field, Katie has seen the very best and the very worst of equine
care. And being a true Yorkshire lass, she calls a spade a spade
and may shock some people with some of her astute observations. The
hope is that this will also inspire a more responsible and
realistic approach to horse ownership and particularly to equine
health and injuries. With some beautiful real-life equine
photography and a never-before shared insight to a rare but
invaluable mode of treatment, all explained in professional but
accessible language, this book is a fantastic read for horse lovers
and newbies alike. And as with all of the best biographies, by the
end you will feel you have known Katie all of your life - and will
celebrate that too!
