The must-have resource drawing together all aspects of hospital
care of the horse and specialist techniques in equine medicine.
Written by a team of over 30 international experts working at the
cutting edge of equine medicine and surgery. The emphasis is on
practical, easy-to-access information, with a sound basis in
evidence based medicine and full references for further enquiry.
The Equine Hospital Manual covers the range of procedures used on
hospitalized adult horses and foals from the simple to the
advanced. The book is liberally illustrated with photographs and
line drawings.
Covering:
* Basic skills including physical examination, blood collection,
and bandaging
* Advanced skills including mechanical ventilation, lung biopsy
and cardiac output measurement

* Biosecurity
* Therapeutic drugs used in horses and their doses
* Nutrition for hospital patients, including TPN and PPN

Reflecting the substantial trend in recent years to treat horses
in a hospital rather than in the field, this book provides all you
need to know whether you have facilities to treat one or one
hundred horses.
