"That 'Auer and Stick' remains the definitive text for equine surgery residents the world over...In this new edition, several chapters have been added, and lots of minor updates have ensured and that it is bang up to date with new deelopments...Of particular interest to the general reader will be new chapters on regenerative medicine, chemical restraint for standing surgery, diagnostic imaging and postoperative physiotherapy of the orthopaedic patient...For many readers, this could be described as the only equine surgical text they will ever need."
Veterinary Record, February 2012
"Equine surgery is a useful reference text for all veterinarians who see equine patients. This book contains a wealth of information on examination, medical management and prognosis such that even veterinarins who refer on all surgical cases would still find it incredibly useful...Equine surgery is an excellent up-to-date surgical reference text, which also provides a good deal of information on equine medicine."
