Problems in Equine Medicine isa"problem-oriented" ap- proach to the common ailments of adult horses - - an ideal book for large animal veterinarians and 3rd or 4th year veterinary students.

Chapters on widely seen symptoms, including chronic weight loss, acute abdominal pain, labored breathing, anemia, fever, poor athletic performance, heart murmurs, limb and ventral edema, icterus, ataxia, bizarre movement, recum- bency, and many more allow the practitioner to determine how the horse "presents," and what these observations imply in terms of diagnosis and treatment.

An initital chapter on understanding normality helps the practitioner to determine when symptoms are significant, and how variations in the horses' use, value, and history as well as differing owner expectations impact on treatment decisions.

Clear, informative tables and flow charts detail diagnos- tic strategies, leading the practitioner logically from initial findings to final diagnosis. Extensive bibliographies follow- ing each chaper facilitate further reading. Problems in Equine Medicine is a practical, immediately useful text for large animal veterinary clinicans.
