Blessed Are The Foals (Howell reference books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book focuses almost exclusively on the foal. Dr. Lose has written another book, Blessed are the Brood mares, to cover the mare half of foaling. I enjoyed this book, but found it a bit spare on the actuallyfoaling procedure. It extensively covers diseases and illnesses ...something that occurs, but not to all of us. I would have preferred moretime spent on how to keep the foal healthy and happy. I'll call the vetsover if my foal gets sick and I'll trust their opinion the best. Dr. Losecovers a long length of time in the foal's life, examining vaccinationsduring the first year, handling the foal (limited), turning the mare andfoal out (some good tips there), and feeds. She is an advocate of earlyweaning of the foal at 3 months of age. This is a debatable practice, butif you are interested in it, she seems to have her reasoning explained.

Product Description:
Blessed Are the Foals has been revised and updated to give those who care for the young equine from birth through its first year of life the information they need to make that critical period successful. Once again, Dr. M. Phyllis Lose draws on her decades of experience in equine veterinary practice to explain how to evaluate the foal's health and to recognize when professional help is needed. Profusely illustrated with photographs taken in her practice, Dr. Lose describes in simple, easy-to-understand language for owners, foaling attendants and caregivers what is normal or typical and how to troubleshoot situations that depart from the norm. Beginning with the delivery, emergencies such as failure to breathe, to rise and to nurse are addressed along with such problems as infections and congenital, hereditary and developmental conditions. Other topics include medication and diet-with the emphasis on foal nutrition to meet the changing needs of the newborn-exercise and the special needs of the premature, twin, orphaned and rejected foal. In addition, Dr. Lose discusses current veterinary and husbandry practices and gives candid judgments about their efficacy. Blessed Are the Foals is, in effect, the companion volume to Dr. Lose's Blessed Are the Brood Mares-the acknowledged classic on the breeding and care of mares through gestation. Yet again Dr. Lose's expertise, compassion and loving regard for all horses is apparent, along with her desire to offer support to all who would look after them.

All Horse Systems Go: The Horse Owner's Full-Color Veterinary Care and Conditioning Resource for Modern Performance, Sport and Pleasure Horses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)How could it be this comprehensive?How can it be this beautiful?
This book should become a milestone in the equine veterinary literature for the horse owner.It is visually gorgeous.The photographs clearly depict the subject matter, and the detail of discussion is stunning.Dr. Loving manages that rare art of describing highly technical subjects in an understandable way.Yet, she also seems to address the horse owner as a colleague, capable of understanding and impacting his or her horses' well-being.So often, when I have read these sorts of books, they either stop short of telling me the details that really interest me, or they tell everything, but in Latin.
I have never seen laminitis illustrated and explained so clearly as it is in this book.Dr. Loving addresses its varied causes, as well as prevention, therapy and how to recognize it.She shows photographs of laminitic hooves, horses rocked back off their forelegs, detailed diagrams and x-rays of coffin bone rotation.
Every section I have read in this book shows the same level of clarity, detail and respect for the reader that is found in the section on laminitis.At every step, Dr. Loving shows us photos of horses, diagrams, X-rays and ultrasound images to reinforce and illustrate the written discussion.
I have ridden, cared for and lived with horses at home for nearly fifty years. I rode dressage and evented when I was younger,happily relax and ride trails now.No matter your level of equine insanity, this wonderful book will support and guide you well.In my view, it is an absolutely indespensible addition to every horse owner's library.I bought one for myself, and now I am going to buy one for each of my two sisters.

(More customer reviews)for all those with an interest in the anatomy of horse limbs and hooves, i highly recommend this book.it is detailed, clear and well illustrated.One of a kind, have never seen another publication that matches this one.congratulations to jean-marie denoix.

Product Description:
Jean-Marie Denoix is the world's leading equine musculoskeletal system anatomist and has become one of the foremost equine diagnostic ultrasonographers. There is, therefore, nobody better to compile a reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot, pastern and fetlock, correlated with images obtained by radiography, diagnostic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced imaging techniques require in-depth knowledge of anatomy for accurate interpretation and especially when using magnetic resonance imaging this must be a 3-dimensional concept of anatomy.

The image quality is extraordinarily high and the multiple views of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed evaluation. Each part opens with characteristically superb anatomical drawing by the author. Each spread of pages deals with a single dissection viewed by means of colour photographs, labelled black and white equivalents, plus x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans as required. The book is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size. This atlas is essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study, complex lameness evaluation or advanced imaging techniques.

Understanding Equine Medications: Your Guide to Horse Health Care and Management (Horse Health Care Library) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Understanding Equine Medications is the handbook I have been waiting a lifetime for!!!I have been breeding and handling horses for the past 30 years, have spent countless dollars and too many frustrating moments when faced with a crisis and needed help.Many times our moments of crisis can be avioded IF we have the information we need, in laymans terms.Dr. Forney has produced an outstanding publication in providing much needed information for all horse owners, in all areas of horsemanship.
I now have the inside story on medications that I need, which could prevent a very costly mistake clearly due to lack of knowledge of medications and usage.This publication should relieve many veterinarians of middle of the night phone calls, prevent hysterical horse owners unusual amounts of gray hair, and most importantly, provide the horse with the care and help they need.Thank you Dr. Barbara Forney, you are a goddess!!
Dr. Forney is that rare individual that not only understands medication doseage, the history of medication, yet is an avid horse person herself.It is evident that this book provides us with USEFUL knowledge written from the perspective of someone who 'has been there' which carries great credibility and usefulness.Bravo, it rates a 10!
Sincerely ,
Jennifer H. Jones, Swift Level
Owner and breeder of Connemara/TB Crosses

Product Description:
Medicating horses is a hot topic, especially in sport horse and racing circles. Controversy surrounds issues such as proper dosage and threshold levels and how far in advance of competition medication can be given. But the fact remains that horses, like humans, do need various medications when they become ill or injured. For horse owners, the issue of medication can be daunting and confusing. How do you know your horse is receiving the right medication and in the right amount? Understanding Equine Medications takes this complex topic and breaks it down into its simpler components by discussing commonly used medications and how they work, medication rules for competition, and methods of administering medications.

Horse Owner's Veterinary Handbook Review

(More customer reviews)I find this to be the most detailed veterinary guide, short of buying a veterinary encyclopedia.Of the several I own, most are very general and have a lot of "ask you veterinarian for a course of action." This one tells you the most common treatments so you know what to expect. I go back to my dog-eared copy all the time.As I back-yard breeder, Ilike Giffin's veterinary breeder's guide, too.
