Equine Endocrinology

"The text is complemented by extensive images that depict the body condition scoring system commonly used for horses, photographs of horses with specific endocrine disorders, tables of reference ranges, and diagrams that allow for quick assessment of a topic. Each chapter is extensively and accurately referenced, reflecting both current research and important foundational information. That is a unique and valuable aspect of this book, which will be particularly useful for experienced practitioners. Overall, this book contains information regarding current best practice methods for diagnosing, treating, and managing equids with endocrine disorders. It will be a valuable resource for anyone who manages such patients."
