Start your review of Horse Owner's Veterinary Handbook. May 31, Alyssabartosch rated it it was amazing. For example if a horse has "Colic" which is abdominal pain and it can lead to death if not treated of to severe. A horse owners handbook is used to help you and your horse get through tough times.
In my opinion if you are a horse owner I would recommend getting either this book or getting a book similar to this.
When ever I get my horse this book will be able to help me if I need it. I will also contact my Veterinary if needed. This horse owner's handbook also helps me find out the different types of things that can happen to horses and how I can help them.
Hopefully this review has helped you make a decision on if you are going to read this book or not. Shelves: and-earlier , own , nonfiction-animals , reviewed. Excellent book! At the very least, this book helped me communicate with and double check the vets we use. For instance, I've asked different vets about vaccinating horses for rabies, and I have received different answers. Page 75, talks about vaccinating for rabies.
After reading about it, I was able to make my own decision; I vaccinate for it. On the down side, it is 10 years old and needs an update. It does not cover West Nile and other improvements in equine medicine. So, do I give it 5 stars Excellent book! So, do I give it 5 stars for the contents it covered when I read it or now? I'm going with the past because it's still a darn fine book. I'm only giving this 4 stars because I do not actually have a horse and never had one, sadly so I do not know how helpful this book is for the average horse owner.
But it sure helped me when I wrote online articles about horse health years ago. For that, it's priceless because it's able to translate rather complicated medical and equestrian terms into everyday language.
