Equine Internal Medicine, 3e - Tapa dura

"The authors have successfully brought explanations of the mechanisms behind complicated disease, with clinical tests and laboratory findings onto treatment options, all under one roof, in a way which enables it to be referenced quickly, and easily but to provide an in-depth source of reference which invariably leaves the reader feeling much more knowledgeable about a specific topic after reading the appropriate chapter. The detail of the text is very effectively reinforced by tables and diagrams which summarised the information and so the student of inexperienced clinician need not be intimidated to reach in and to delve for more information"
