Editorial Review:

Equine Internal Medicine is the only equine book devoted solely to internal medicine. This problem-oriented book is organized into two primary sections. Part 1 focuses on the mechanisms underlying disease and the principles underlying treatment. Part 2 takes a body systems approach to common problems. Individual diseases are discussed in terms of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment.

* Editors and contributors are authorities in their fields.
* The book takes a problem-based approach to understanding equine internal medicine and demonstrates the importance of evidence-based medicine.
* Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow.
* Body systems chapters begin with a thorough discussion of the diagnostic method appropriate to the system, including physical examination, clinical pathology, radiography, endoscopy, and ultrasonography.
* Information is current and well referenced.
* Flow charts, diagrams, and algorithms clarify and enhance complex material.

Like any multi-author book, there are stronger and weaker chapters. The cardiology chapter is excellent, well-laid out and informative. The neonatology chapter is basic, but well presented and good. The section... more info

The best equine medicine book. Not a quick reference.:

A great review of equine internal medicine. Easily the best of the books on this subject currently available. The content is well organised and indexed, which makes this text far easier to navigate than Smith's Large Animal Internal Medicine. The content, inevitably, reflects the geographic location of most of the authors (North America).

Although the book contains much data on clinical pathology and drug doses, these are buried in the text. It would have been good to have these in an appendix as can be... more info
