Diagnose, treat, and manage equine skin disorders with the most
comprehensive reference available! With 900 full-color photos, EQUINE
DERMATOLOGY covers skin diseases ranging from those that merely annoy
the horse to others that interfere with the horse's ability to
function in riding, working, or show. Thorough coverage includes
essential basics and practical diagnostic methods, therapies, and
specific abnormalities and defects. The book describes the structure
and function of the skin, and discusses disorders including bacterial,
fungal, parasitic, viral, protozoal, allergic, immune-mediated,
endocrine, metabolic, and nutritional diseases. It also covers
congenital and hereditary defects, pigmentation abnormalities,
keratinization defects, environmental skin diseases, and skin tumors.

the newest therapies.
