This concise, practical text covers the essential information
veterinary students need to succeed in Equine medicine and surgery,
focusing on the nervous system, eyes, cardiovascular disorders and
haemolymphatic systems. 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
nervous system section discusses in detail the neurological exam,
mentions relevant diagnostic tests, and divides the diseases of the
system into congenital, infectious, traumatic, toxin-induced and
miscellaneous causes. In the eye section, the relevant anatomy and
the examination of the eye are followed by discussion of useful
diagnostic tests and procedures. Diseases of the eye are discussed
under the headings of congenital/neonatal, tumours, infectious and
inflammatory disorders, neurological based, and parasitic problems.
The cardiological examination and relevant diagnostic tests are
followed by sections on arrhythmias, congenital and acquired
cardiac diseases, pericardial disease and miscellaneous
cardiovascular disease. Finally, the haemolymphatic section
discusses in detail relevant diagnostic approaches and laboratory
aids, followed by sections on anaemia, haemostasis disorders,
infections and neoplasia. 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.

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

This book provides a practical, clinical approach to diagnosing,
treating, and managing endocrine diseases in the horse. Each
chapter uses the same structure to form a user-friendly tool of
information and advice on aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical
presentation, diagnosis and treatment for each endocrine disorder.
This book covers: - approaches to endocrine disorders; - diseases
of the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis; - disorders in calcium
regulation and diseases of the parathyroid gland; - diseases of the
hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axes; - diseases of the
endocrine pancreas and Equine Metabolic Syndrome; - hyperlipaemia
and lipid metabolism disorders; and - endocrine disorders
associated with the female and male reproductive systems. This book
also includes material on additional endocrinopathies, such as
diabetes insipidus and pheochromocytoma, and is dedicated to the
fast-moving field of equine endocrinology. Written by world-leading
international experts, it collates their insights and experience
into approaches that prove invaluable for general equine
practitioners.
