5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully comprehensive, July 11, 2001

By	Emil Dickens (Somerset, KY United States) - See all my reviews

This book is a must for any goatkeeper. It is an invaluable commodity on the farm. I have turned to its pages countless times, both as a refresher and during emergenices. The information covers everyday concerns as well as more extensive descriptions of disease and preventative medicine. I had previously found it difficult to find a really good reference book on goats, but once I found this book, I need not look any more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Layman's Goat Medicine, October 22, 2007

By	D. Hadorn (Harrah, OK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Goatkeeper's Veterinary Book (Hardcover)

Excellent reference. MANY photos, diagrams and straight-forward descriptions of common goat diseases and treatments. Written and updated by a hands-on vet in the UK. We are loosing large Animal vets to more lucrative cat & dog practices. Practical references like this can be desperately needed. Easily worth its price the first time you have to sort out twins.

Also useful, David C. Henderson's Veterinary Book for Sheep Farmers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, April 23, 2007

By	A. Manley (Frankfort, KY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Goatkeeper's Veterinary Book (Hardcover)

I agree with the previous review. It is written in England so the terminology and measurements are a bit different, but very comprehensive for a small book.
