Overview
The horse owner’s essential emergency guide, providing clear, reliable information when you need it most.
Most horse owners understand that illness and injury are part of life with horses. Veterinarians, farriers, and emergency clinics are often just a phone call away. Still, there may be moments when a serious health crisis arises and professional help is delayed or difficult to reach. In those critical situations, knowing what to do while waiting for assistance can make a real difference.
Online information is abundant, but during an emergency, you need guidance you can trust completely. That is why respected veterinarian Nancy Loving, DVM, has compiled this practical, illustrated guide. Her carefully organized and experience-based advice helps you take appropriate action immediately, while also supporting the best possible outcome once professional care becomes available.
In this book, readers learn how to:
• Recognize what constitutes an equine emergency
• Choose safe locations for treatment and safely restrain a horse in pain
• Assemble and maintain a proper equine first aid kit
• Administer emergency medications
• Take and interpret vital signs
Dr. Loving also addresses many of the most common emergencies faced by horse owners, offering clear, step-by-step guidance for situations including:
• Intestinal issues, including diarrhea and colic
• Choke
• Fever
• Dehydration and shock
• Heat stress
• Tying-up or myositis
• Respiratory problems
• Eye injuries
• Allergic reactions
• Insect and spider bites or stings
• Wounds and trauma
• Hematomas, seromas, and firm swellings
• Snake bite
• Poisoning
• Acute lameness
• Stone bruises and hoof abscesses
• Laminitis
• Tendon and ligament injuries
