Sound professional advice on what to do until the veterinarian arrives.

Dr. Eleanor Kellon has created a quick and easy reference to conditions that require emergency treatment. Dr. Kellon's Guide to First Aid for Horses offers guidelines to be followed in determining what a horse's problem could be, and it suggests information that should be given to the veterinarian as soon as you call. The book is organized by color-coded chapters on specific types of problems, or on specific anatomical areas and organ systems. At the beginning of each chapter is a quick reference list of symptoms and topics that allows you to turn immediately to those sections of the chapter that might pertain to your horse's problems.

Dr. Kellon's Guide to First Aid for Horses includes lists of symptoms and their causes, instructions for home treatment, and checklists of the first aid supplies necessary to deal with the following emergencies:
  • Concussions, burns, and shock
  • Abrasions, lacerations, bleeding

  • Fever, botulism, and blood poisoning
  • Colic, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea

  • Stroke, muscle cramps, laminitis, and seizures
  • Bladder infection and stones in the urinary tract
  • Prolonged labor, newborn emergencies
  • Allergies and adverse drug reactions
  • And many other life threatening situations or conditions
