A practical guide to the various diagnostic techniques employed in equine medicine, providing discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of specific techniques, and an interpretation of results.

---

A very practical book describing step-by-step how to select, perform and interpret the various diagnostic techniques which are available in equine practice. This information is not readily available in the standard equine texts, in which techniques are indicated, but not described in sufficient detail. Whether to confirm a diagnosis, or to narrow down a list of differentials, a wide range of tests, procedures and methods of investigation is available to veterinarians in equine practice. Practical information about particular techniques is often difficult to find in standard textbooks of equine medicine and surgery, in which investigations are indicated, but rarely described in detail. Diagnostic Techniques in Equine Medicine provides the practical information required to be able to undertake all these procedures. Clear step-by-step descriptions are illustrated with photographs and line drawings, resulting in a unique resource for students and practitioners. Features: * Comprehensive coverage of diagnostic techniques available to the adult horse. * Convenient organization of techniques by organ system.
* Discussion of advantages and disadvantages of different procedures where appropriate. * Practical tips to simplify techniques. * Helpful chapter appendices demonstrate applications of different techniques.
