Taking care of your horse’s veterinary needs involves two aspects. The first is knowing how to tell when he’s healthy and how to keep him that way. In this book, you’ll learn how to monitor your horse’s normal patterns in order to quickly recognize when he’s not quite up to par. The second aspect of equine health care concerns circumstances when your horse is sick, lame, or just not quite right. For those times, the book offers practical insight into what we can reasonably expect from a veterinary exam. Topics include: Diagnostics A to Z , Why a Coggins Test, Vaccines, Deworming, Coping with Arthritis, Understanding Colic, Eye Problems, Diarrhea Dangers, Founder: Causes & Care, The Rabies Threat, Strangling Strangles, Tying up, Respiratory Problems
