Description: No horse farmer wants to think about sick or hurt animals, but such situations do occur at some point on every farm. When a horse isn't well, the reference every owner will turn to first is Storey's Barn Guide to Horse Health Care + First Aid. With a nail-hole at the top of each page spread, the book can hang on a barn wall as a hands-free visual guide to every health situation likely to occur. Graphic step-by-step presentations guide farmers through daily health checks, basic dental and hoof care, preventive procedures, emergency first aid care, and wound treatment. The book also features full-color anatomical illustrations, feeding and nutritional charts, a recordkeeping section, and a checklist of first-aid supplies. The Emergency and Wounds sections both begin with careful instructions on when to call the veterinarian and what to do until professional help arrives.
Notes: Includes index.
