Equine Wound Management, 2nd Edition

Equine Wound Management, Second Edition, is a comprehensive, authoritative resource for both theoretical and practical information on the care of wounds in horses. Now highly illustrated with full-color photographs throughout, this long-awaited second edition is significantly expanded to include new developments and techniques in wound healing. Encyclopedic in scope and fully up-to-date, Equine Wound Management focuses on the management of specific wounds organized by body region and wound or tissue type, with chapters covering the head, neck and body, distal extremities, synovial structures, and tendon lacerations.

As in the first edition, each chapter includes typical clinical cases, covering proper treatment and post-operative care. Changes to this edition include a more comprehensive introductory chapter offering additional coverage on the physiology of cutaneous wound healing and six new chapters covering factors that influence infection and healing, topical wound treatments, management of severely infected or complicated wounds, management of burn injuries, sarcoid transformation at wound sites, and practical use of lasers in wound healing. Equine Wound Management is an essential reference for veterinary students, veterinary surgeons, veterinary dermatologists, and equine and large animal veterinarians.
