Equine Dermatology

This new, comprehensive text covers skin diseases of the horse from essential basics to practical diagnostic methods, therapy, and specific abnormalities and defects. Well illustrated and expertly written by two of the leaders in equine dermatology, this focused presentation discusses all aspects of bacterial, allergic, and environmental skin disease. Relevant topics in a clinically useful format make this an ideal resource for all veterinarians, in addition to anyone specializing in equine medicine.

"In their preface and acknowledgements, the authors remark on the time it takes to conceive and deliver a textbook, and the quality and content of this book are a refelection of the enormous effort that must have been involved. That Danny Scott has time to produce an equine companion to his 'Small Animal Dermatology' and 'Large Animal Dermatology' texts speaks volumes for his energy and drive.

It is a book which will be bought by everyone who is in a specialist equine dermatology practice (including dermatohistopathologists). I have no doubt that many practising veterinarians will also acquire it. It is not exorbitant cost for what it contains, and it will be a useful, if occasional, reference on the practice shelf." Derek Knottenbelt, The Veterinary Record, July 2003
range of references is remarkable. The authors have gathered together elusive and scattered facts that constitute the current state-of-play of equine dermatology, but the text is not encumbered by them. The book is written in a lively style, very encouraging for reluctant clinicians.

This book combines a practical appreciation of the complexities of clinical practice with a huge amount of science.

This book takes a practical, global look at dermatology. It may look like a weighty tome, but would be helpful for any clinician with more than a passing interest in the two per cent of sick horses whose problems lie in the skin." Marion McCullagh, Veterinary Times, February 2004
