3.0 out of 5 stars poor version, July 5, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult—Equine (The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult Series) (Hardcover)

Even though this book is well written and concise, it is a poor version compared to the small animal compendiums. The layout is unorganised and there are many conditions that are missed. Also there is no drug formulary in the back which was a major advantage of the small animal versions

This review is from: The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult—Equine (The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult Series) (Hardcover)

I was expecting the invaluable resource that the small animal version is, but I agree with other reviewers: it seems very disorganized. It also seems lacking in many pathological conditions that are, as they say, "not uncommon"...I would rather use the Rose and Hodgson field guide any day...
