“Equine Pharmacologywill be a valuable resource for practicing veterinarians and veterinary students who are interested specifically in treating horses and understanding the rationale for the most commonly used therapeutics in equine medicine . . . In summary, this book is a succinct and accurate resource that will provide readers with a clear understanding for most of the therapeutic options available for horses.” (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 June 2015) “I would thoroughly recommend this book and consider it to be both a useful buy and value for money, as well as filling a much-needed place in any practice library or vet’s car.” (Veterinary Practice, 1 May 2015)
"Equine pharmacology will be of benefit to veterinary students and practitioners, providing a succinct basis and approach to the clinical application of pharmacology in horses. As such, it will serve as a useful reference text in both hospital-based and ambulatory clinician settings for the provision of practical pharmacological management of equine patients." (Australian Veterinary Journal, 3 March 2017)
Equine Pharmacology combines highly practical therapeutic guidance with reliable scientific background information to provide a clinically relevant resource. Taking a body systems approach to the subject, the book offers the equine clinician fast access to drug options for a given disease, with additional information available for reference as needed. Logically organized to lead the reader through the clinical decision-making process, Equine Pharmacology is a user-friendly reference for pharmacological information on the horse.
The book begins with a general review section presenting the principles of antimicrobials, anesthesia, analgesics, anti-parasitics, foals, fluid therapy, and drug and medication control programs. The remainder of the book is devoted to a body systems approach to therapeutics, allowing the reader to search by affected system or specific disease to find detailed advice on drug therapy. Equine Pharmacology is an invaluable addition to the practice library for any clinician treating equine patients.
