Product Description

Three simple-reference sections use carefully crafted questions and answers devised by veterinarians to provide all the tools needed to deal with everything from general horse care and welfare to more serious illnesses and injuries. With its highly visual flow-chart format readers can start with an observed symptom, determine whether it's a potential problem that warrants action and be guided towards the best course of action to take. Full of invaluable instruction and advice, this book will help horse owners develop a better relationship with their veterinarians and become more confident horsekeepers and observers.

3.0 out of 5 stars simple- ok, April 28 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Hands-On Horse Care: The Complete Book of Equine First-Aid (Paperback)
This is a good book for the average horse owner / caretaker (layperson). It basically shows you how to determine if something is an emergency (i.e.- whether or not you should "CALL THE VET.") including what you should do until the vet gets there, AND how to do it. Just about all areas were covered- from eye injuries to hoof care. BASIC first aid techniques are provided, and described well.
The one thing I did not like, is that it did not give you much information as to what was really going on. Specifically, it did not correlate signs and symptoms with any specific "diagnosis." However, I do have a healthcare background (no, I'm not a veterinarian)- so my review is based on what I expected a "Complete Book of First-Aid" to be. That is.... complete and thorough. I expected more information about how to care for various injuries and illnesses, whereas I found the focus to be on just stabilizing a problem until the vet comes

This review is from: Hands-On Horse Care: The Complete Book of Equine First-Aid (Paperback)
This book is a life-saver. It's easy to follow instructions make it a must. I especially like the sections that list symptoms and if it says to call your vet immediately, it tells you what to do while you're waiting. The only drawbacks to this book are that the cover doesn't hold up well, and it would be better with color pictures of the toxic plants. I strongly recommend this book if you have horses.
