The Horses Foot - Tapa dura

The new edition of this successful title on equine foot diseases and lameness will be expanded to become a comprehensive, highly illustrated text instead of the current atlas format. There will be significantly increased text in this edition, giving much wider discussion on the treatment of foot diseases and lameness. The excellent, high-quality colour prints, line illustrations and radiographs are one of the great strengths of the book, and will be expanded where necessary. Case histories are included to enhance the text and give hints and tips on diagnosis. The entire spectrum of conditions affecting the equine foot is covered, from tumours and infections to laminitis and the malformed hoof.
