This review is from: Equine Surgery (Hardcover)

The current edition of this text(3rd ed) is the benchmark text for Equine surgery textbooks. A fourth editions is expected to be published in the next year or two. While this first edition is out dated, most of the info in it is still useful and occasionally relevant. Additionally, there are descriptions, illustrations, and diagrams not found in newer editions that budding equine surgeons(students, residents, equine surgery history buffs) could find useful/interesting.

A solid, but not a necessary, addition to any veterinary library.
