Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Equine Respiratory Medicine and Surgery
provides up-to-date, in-depth coverage of the diagnosis and management of respiratory disorders in the horse. It discusses respiratory
physiology and examination techniques, as well as a review of the medical and surgical problems that may be encountered, organized anatomically
and progressing in logical fashion from the upper airways, larynx and sinuses, through the lower airways, the lungs, and diaphragm. Common
conditions covered include infections, allergy, trauma, cysts, and tumors.
