Description
Caring for a horse is a big responsibility. When a horse becomes ill or injured, you’ll need to know exactly what to do while you await your veterinarian’s arrival. Your horse’s life may depend upon your judgement and expertise.
Dr. Penny Bauer, DVM, has authored this six-lesson course to help you cope with emergencies, and to teach you to recognize potential health problems before they take a turn for the worse. This comprehensive course explains routine-but-essential health care, basic first aid, and how to identify more urgent medical conditions. You’ll learn to monitor pulse and respiration rates, know the proper way to take the horse’s temperature, and become tuned into other vital signs. While this series is not a replacement for good, professional veterinary care, it will turn you into a more valuable health care partner—and may even save your horse’s life.
Lessons include:
- Sharpen Your Observation Skills
- Gastrointestinal Problems
- Musculoskeletal Problems
- Traumatic Injuries
- Wound Management & Bandaging Techniques
- Other Emergencies
