Reviews
REVIEW OF CURRENT EDITION: "This book is one of the first books to comprehensively cover dermatology for the horse. The first chapter is a review of structure and function and is very well done. In fact this chapter is so important and well done that even non-vet personnel will gain a lot of understanding. The chapters dealing with specific disease states are helpful and will assist in diagnostic evaluation. My overall impression of this book is that is fills a very important gap in the literature and will be useful to vets and non-vets alike.” - Library News – March 2004
