The text is supported by a wealth of over 1200 illustrations of the highest quality, colour photographs, radiographic and ultrasound images, and diagrams. The book is systems-based and each individual system is introduced with precise information on the relevant basic anatomy and physiology, standard clinical examination techniques and useful differential diagnostic aids. This is followed by diseases and disorders that are pertinent to that system, grouped together either anatomically or based on presenting clinical signs. Additional chapters deal with the foal, with wounds and behavioural problems. The focus throughout is on providing clinically relevant information required for practical case management, plus sufficient background on causes and disease processes to enable readers to understand the conditions and the rationale for diagnostic and treatment options.
