Description
Equine and Small Ruminant Anesthesia Procedures provides the busy practitioner or technician with a quick reference manual on anesthesia and analgesia in horses and small ruminants. Heavily illustrated, the book demonstrates the process of anesthesia from the initial physical exam and evaluation, selecting pre-anesthetic medication, determining an anesthetic protocol, intra and post-operative monitoring and pain management through recovery. In addition, photos and descriptions illustrate behavior associated with the different stages of restraining, sedation, anesthesia and recovery, as well as illuminating management of specific cases. A section of diverse case studies also highlights and explains techniques for difficult anesthetic emergencies, neonatal and foal anesthesia, breed specific variations and considerations for field anesthesia. This practical manual is a welcome quick reference to any veterinarian, student or technician performing equine anesthesia.
