Early recognition of problems by owners, appropriate first aid, and timely referral by field veterinarians improves the survival chance of horses requiring emergency management and critical care. With a view towards improving patient outcome, this text is written by a team of enthusiastic equine specialists who explore a host of conditions that the equine veterinarian will encounter. For each disease or condition, the book includes an overview, key points, etiology/pathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, and management/treatment. It also provides step-by-step instructions on frequently performed procedures when managing the emergency/critical care patient. The text features a concise, bullet-point style to facilitate quick assimilation, along with color photos and useful charts and diagrams.
