The
author has many years experience in both farm animal practice and
commercial sheep farming. In this book he focuses on state-of-the-art
clinical medicine and relates it to issues of sheep welfare and
husbandry. He takes into account the relationship between the veterinarian
and the farmer by dealing with veterinary clinical examination and
inspection of husbandry practice, along with subsequent practical
and cost effective advice that the veterinarian will have to discuss
with the farmer.
The book describes and illustrates the important diseases of sheep
encountered in general practice, their diagnosis, treatment, prognosis
and control. It is divided into chapters based upon each body system
and, where appropriate, chapters open with a suggested approach
to clinical examination of that body system. Many of the chapters
conclude with self-assessment exercises featuring typical clinical
cases. The book will be of value to veterinarians in practice and
training, animal scientists and agricultural advisors, and scientists
interested in animal welfare
