A coughing horse doesn't elicit the same "omigosh" response from horseowners
as a colicky one. But considering respiratory problems are nearly as common as
gastrointestinal issues, the topic should be near the top of your "to-research"
list.
Concise Guide to Respiratory Disease in the Horse is just the book for
the task. It's detailed but not vet-speak technical, inexpensive but mighty.
Chapters include the anatomy of a horse's respiratory system, techniques your
vet uses for diagnosing problems, how those problems are treated, and common
issues in the upper and lower airways. There are also chapters specific to four
of the most common respiratory issues: shipping fever, strangles, heaves and
EIPH (exercise-induced bleeding).
With its emphasis on understanding and prevention, you can't afford to be
without Concise Guide to Respiratory Disease in the Horse. |
