This book is intended as a quick reference guide to those common large animal emergencies that are encountered by the practicing veterinarians. The author uses his vast knowledge and lifelong experiences in both the UK and abroad to summarize some of the most common, and indeed uncommon, medical and surgical situations encountered in large animal practice. In a simple yet comprehensive way, the author aims to both inform and settle the reader with the goal of providing the veterinarian with the essential information required to become better equipped and prepared when dealing with an emergency, while at all times keeping the animal's well-being at the forefront. Topics discussed are veterinary equipment; veterinary medicines; cattle medicine and surgery; sheep and goat medicine and surgery; South American camelid medicine and surgery; pig medicine and surgery; domestic poultry medicine and surgery; notifiable diseases; and zoonotic diseases.
