Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the study, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of animal diseases, the nurturing of the human-animal bond, as well as the preservation of human health and the protection of a nation’s food supply. With that definition, you can venture to guess that the role of veterinary medicine lies far beyond the traditional medical practice, the practice of clinical medicine, many times in a private clinic or hospital. Medical practice technically encompasses shelter medicine, veterinary medicine geared towards the needs of shelter animals and the needs of animal shelters, such as the prevention of disease outbreaks therein. But shelter medicine is often times performed in government-run facilities or non-profit organizations instead of private hospitals. This highly acclaimed, classic text presents today’s most effective treatments for every condition or disease affecting cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and horses. This book is directed primarily at students of veterinary medicine and at practicing veterinarians and field workers.
