After personally working with Dr Floyd on an acute chronic laminitis case, I am SO impressed with her expertise and experience. As the farrier, I was privileged to participate in assisting with a surgery that became a terrific success. I learned a great deal from Dr. Floyd. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book!

I have been studying farrier science and this book without a doubt fills in the gaps of hoof diseases, treatments, and broadens my understanding of farrier work.

I consider this a great addition to our veterinary library – good to have a resource for those less common cases. The illustrations are very helpful as well. I would definitely recommend this book!
