Concise Textbook of Equine Clinical Practice Book 2: Reproduction and the Foal
About this ebook
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 clinical information is split into anatomy-based sections.
Ideal for veterinary students and nurses on clinical placements with horses as well as for practitioners needing a quick reference ‘on the ground’.
