« Colic is one of the most common causes of illness in horses and is often felt to
be an inevitable occurrence at some time in the horse’s life. Onset can be quick,
and it is essential that the cause of the illness be located as quickly as possible
in orderto control pain and avoid potential complications. The signs of colic are
often similar for both simple and life-threatening diseases, and the clinical signs
change during the course of the disease making assessment and prognostication difficult.
This new book provides the essential, up-to-date information about colic that the
practitioner and student need to examine, diagnose, treat and manage horses with colic.
Written by two respected and leading authorities in the equine field,
Handbook of Equine Colic
provides a succinct, easy-to-access and practical guide to the management and treatment
of the horse with colic. There is also a chapter dealing with the prevention of colic,
which is the aim of every horse owner and veterinarian. This is a practical guide
to the diagnosis, management and treatment of this emergency condition. Easily-accessible
information selected from the latest research enables effective treatment regimes
to be implemented with the minimum of delay. A whole chapter is devoted to the discussion
of good prognostication techniques and how to improve their accuracy. This is an essential
purchase for every veterinarian who treats horses on either a regular or occasional
basis, as well as for veterinary students, horse owners and other professionals involved
with the day-to-day care of horses. » Présentation de l’éditeur (1999)
