Description
Painful and potentially debilitating tendon and ligament injuries are among the most common and serious physiological problems facing performance horses. The severity ranges from minor injuries to those that end careers or even the horse’s life. However, with proper treatment, these injuries can be overcome, and permanent damage minimized. Writing in concise, accessible language, equine veterinarian Linda Schultz provides the most up-to-date information on identifying, treating, and managing tendon and ligament injuries. In Howell Equine Handbook of Tendon and Ligament Injuries, you’ll review basic anatomy, understand how and why injuries occur, and discover the effects of horseshoeing on tendons and ligaments. You’ll see exactly what you should (and shouldn’t) do during the critical healing process. 128 p.
