What exactly is navicular syndrome? This is usually the first question asked by horse owners after a veterinarian makes the diagnosis. This concise handbook tells horse owners what they need to know about: the normal anatomy and physiology of the horse’s foot; the diagnosis and treatment of navicular syndrome; shoeing strategies and surgical treatments for navicular; and the prognosis and long–term care of a horse suffering from the disease. Dr. David Ramey owns an equine veterinary practice in Southern California. His other books include Concise Guide to Arthritis in the Horse, Concise Guide to Colic in the Horse, Concise Guide to Laminitis, and Horsefeathers. An Equestrian Edge Book Club Selection

5.0 out of 5 stars
The clearest explination of navicular syndrome I've read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Concise Guide to Navicular Syndrome in the Horse (Howell Equestrian Library) (Paperback)
This book offers a very solid and clear explination of the diagnosis of navicular syndrome. It explains why this syndrome is often overdiagnosed and how the diagnosis is made. This book is easy to read and engaging. I highly recommend it for all horse owners as it teaches the reader crucial information about equine hoof anatomy, sources of lameness, diagnosis and treatment options. As a horse owner with a "navicular" horse, I read all I can about the syndrome and I've learned more from this book than any other source of information I've read.
