Essential for the Responsible Owner/Rider/Caretaker
Dr. Eleanor Kellon has written a concise, well-organized, and comprehensive guide for first aid treatment in emergencies that warrant a call to the veterinarian. She organizes injuries and conditions into major categories such as wounds/bleeding, burns, colic, lameness, heat stoke, head/neck/eyes, shock, foaling/newborns, and drug reactions. This allows the reader to quickly and easily access the pertinent chapters. Within each of these categories, she identifies the items for a first aid kit, further defines specific conditions/injuries, explains the symptoms or causes, and outlines the first aid treatment. Dr. Kellon also rates the emergency nature of each condition/ injury. The guide also contains useful appendices (general signs of serious illness, signs of adequate tranquilization, bandaging, giving injections, administering eye medications).This manual is not intended to be a complete equine medical guide and does not attempt to be. Rather, Dr. Kellon succinctly presents essential information that, hopefully, the horse owner or sitter will never have to use.One fact worth noting: although this guide was reprinted in 1999, it was originally written and copyrighted in 1990. Have there been advances in equine emergency medicine in the past ten years to warrant an updated second edition?
