About Book
A wide-ranging collection of informative, useful, practical and well-written guidebooks that address, in details, many of the key concerns of horse owners. Medicating horses is a hot topic among equine groups, especially in sport horse and racing circles. Controversy surrounds issues such as proper dosage, how far in advance of competition medication can be given, and what are proper threshold levels. But the fact remains that horses, like humans, do need various medications when they become ill or injured. For horse owners, the issue of medication can be daunting and confusing. Understanding Equine Medications takes this complex topic and breaks it down into its simpler components by discussing commonly used medications and how they work, medication rules for competition, and methods for administering medications. This book contains monographs on 48 drugs that can be used to treat horses, including clenbuterol, progesterone, corticosteroids, and furosemide.
