4.0 out of 5 stars A very useful reference for treating your horse., November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Treatment of Horses by Homoeopathy (Paperback)

This is an excellent book if you are considering using homeopathic treatment for your horse. Most common and some uncommon horse ailments are covered and suggested remedies and dosages are given. The only reason I did not give this book 5 stars is that the author assumes the reader has more knowledge of medical terminology than it is likely the average reader will have. It helps to have a good medical dictionary at you elbow when you read this book.

This review is from: The Treatment of Horses by Homoeopathy (Paperback)

A very extensive reference guide to look up various horse ailments, along with their various corresponding homeopathic treatments/remedies. The "Useful Address Section" at the back along with a "How to find a Homeopathic Vet" are all based on UK (United Kingdom) references though. It would be nice on its next update to have some United States References added. But I recommend it for anyone wanting a good reference guide for Homeopathic Remedies for specific equine conditions.

Easy to read and find the facts quickly,
Dr. Macleod has done a wonderful job
compiling the best information for the equine layman.
Good summary of the remedies in the Materia Medica section
and the contents make it easy to navigate through the book.
I was using this book immediately once it arrived in the mail.
"Great work Dr.Macleod".
