Written to complement "Equine Stud Farm Medicine and Surgery" this text covers all aspects of veterinary care of the foal from birth through to weaning. It describes appropriate procedures for clinical assessment of the new-born foal, including emergency interventions, resuscitation and critical care. Subsequent chapters review disorders of growth and nutrition, and congenital or inherited abnormalities of each of the major body systems. Of unique value is the section dedicated to special syndromes, illustrated with over 200 colour photographs carefully selected from the authors' extensive collections. Appendices provide practical guidance on sedation and anaesthesia, transport, medication, etc.
