This concise, practical text covers the essential information
veterinary students need to succeed in Equine medicine and surgery,
focusing on skin, urinary, liver and endocrine diseases. Written
for an international readership, the book includes a glossary of
terms and conveys the core information in an easily digestible,
precise form with extensive use of bullet-points, tables,
flow-charts, diagrams, lists, protocols and extensive illustration.
Part of a five-book series that extracts and updates key
information from Munroe’s Equine Surgery, Reproduction and
Medicine, Second Edition, the book distils best practice in a
logical straightforward clinical-based approach. It details
clinical anatomy, physical clinical examination techniques,
diagnostic techniques and normal parameters, emphasising the things
regularly available to general practitioners with minimal
information of advanced techniques. The liver section is divided
into clinical evaluation, diagnostic tests, possible causes and
treatment. The diagnostic approach to endocrine disease is followed
by specific diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary gland,
equine metabolic syndrome and other miscellaneous disorders. The
approach to urinary tract problems includes information on
diagnostic tests and imaging, renal diseases, and diseases of the
ureters, bladder and urethra. The approach to skin disease is
discussed in detail, including relevant diagnostic tests. Following
this, individual skin diseases are covered under the headings of
genetic, infectious, immune-mediated, nutritional, endocrine,
idiopathic, traumatic and neoplastic causes. Finally, skin wounds,
burns, and infections of synovial structures are discussed. Ideal
for veterinary students and nurses on clinical placements with
horses as well as practitioners needing a quick reference ‘on the
ground’. The spiralbound format allows the book to lie open
during practice.
