This review is from: Fertility and Obstetrics in the Horse (Library Vet Practice) (Paperback)

I had already reviewed the book in my vet school's library and decided to purchase for myself as a review and quick reference for my equine therio lab and rotation. I liked it because it had basic information as well as introductory palpation information. It is written in bullet points/note format which I am currently accustomed to. If you are looking for anything in depth you will need something else.
