This handbook has been a complete reference for our horse breeding operation. Well written and concise it has helped us understand health issues of foals and the how and why of dealing with those issues. It is a must for any large scale horse breeder.

Practical,easy to use, clear. John Madigan, DVM of UC Davis uses an outline format to provide succinct and clear information about the normal and abnormal foal, risk factors, diseases, diagnostic tests, treatments, prevention, etc. A very handy book for the practicing veterinarian, veterinary student, and anyone wishing to understand the intricacies foaling and neonatal care.

Hopefully the new edition will be available in 2006.

This review is from: Manual of Equine Neonatal Medicine (Paperback)

I had the privilege to learn at UC Davis Veterinary school with Professor Dr. John Madigan. First hand experience with Neonatal Medicine with this wonderful teacher, innovator in foal physiology and medicine. The book is a fantastic resource which I continue to use on a daily basis. Very comprehensive and helpful. Should be in everyone's library if breeding mares and foaling equids.Rule of thumb is if you hesitate with a sick foal you will probably loose him, the more you know the quicker you are on your way to calling the vets.
