The Veterinary General Practice Casebook

By

-

By Andrew Gardiner, Anne Quain

A harmless-looking papilloma on Monday morning, a fitting Bulldog on Wednesday afternoon, a pyometra last thing on Friday – The Veterinary General Practice Casebook echoes life at the coalface of companion animal practice. Organised into ‘clinics’, each chapter feels like a day in the life of a busy general practitioner, where emergencies are juggled with routine consultations and every so often something unexpected pops up.

Ideal for senior veterinary students, new graduates, those returning to practice, and those seeking a general practice workout, this book presents cases as they appear in real life, often messier and less complete than textbook descriptions. The clinical content is complemented by topics on wellbeing and professional practice, as well as recipes for simple and nutritious meals to feed veterinary body and soul.

The Veterinary General Practice Casebook makes a persuasive argument for general practice as a speciality in its own right and celebrates the role of general practice veterinarians and their vital contribution to animal health and welfare in the community.

Applied Equine Psychology: The Art and Science of Helping Horses

By

Vet eBooks

-

By Sharon Smith, Felicity George andMarie-Louise Holmes

Traditionally equine behaviour guidance has come from an understanding of the outward behaviour of the horse and modifying that behaviour. Applied Equine Psychology: The Art and Science of Helping Horses goes much deeper into the inner workings of the horse, drawing parallels from human psychology and looking at what is going on in the horse’ s brain leading to that behaviour. This understanding is then applied to addressing outward behaviour issues, so that horse and owner can work together in a more horse-centric way to resolve issues. The book’ s approach is innovative and challenges traditional thinking. Applied Equine Psychology: The Art and Science of Helping Horses is highly illustrated and combines research and the latest concepts with practical, readable advice.
