SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book is organised by body system. The first chapter describes the physical examination of the foal--the basis for all diagnosis. The second chapter deals with cardiovascular shock, a frequent emergency in the equine pediatric patient, and resuscitation and fluid and electrolyte therapy. The following chapters then discuss the diseases and disorders affecting each body system. The book is superbly illustrated throughout with photographs, line diagrams and radiographs and tables. New chapters have been added to this fully revised text, which includes chapters on triage, nutrition and sedation/anesthesia. In addition, there is a new section containing case studies."--Provided by publisher.
