This is the only equine book on the market devoted solely to internal medicine. This problem-oriented book is organised into two primary sections. Part 1 is problem-based focusing on the mechanisms underlying disease and the principles underlying treatment. Part 2 is a body systems approach to common problems. Here individual diseases are discussed in terms of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment. There are special and timely chapters on critical care, diseases of foals, and epidemiology.
- Editors and contributors are authorities in their fields.
- The book takes a problem-based approach to understanding equine internal medicine and demonstrates the importance of evidence-based medicine.
- Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow.
- Body systems chapters begin with a thorough discussion of the diagnostic method appropriate to the system, including physical examination, clinical pathology, radiography, endoscopy, and ultrasonography.
- Information is current and well referenced.
- Flow charts, diagrams, and algorithms clarify and enhance complex material.
