Understanding Equine Medications Your Guide to Horse Health Care and Management Horse Health Care Library Barbara D Forney 9781581501513 Books Reviews

• Dr. Forney has written a book from which all horse-people can benefit. She lists all modern equine medications, background information their dosages, side effects, as well as interactions with other drugs. The uses, ages, and lifestyles of horses are taken into account for every medication. This book is thoroughly informative, yet concise and easy to reference. Every horse owner or lover can feel that they are better home-care-equine-nurses after reading this book.
• Understanding Equine Medications is the perfect
  book for all horsepeople. It is a thorough yet concise referance of all equine medications as well as some termonology. This book helps even those new to horses to understand prescription medications, drug interactions, side effects, and all home treatments. I suggest anyone who has ever pretended to comprehend their vet's jargon, to invest in this book, and understand for real!
• I just got this book today. Shipped immediately and got in pretty quick. The book itself i haven't got to read a whole lot but what I have read i am amazed with. The book covers medicines from hormones (breeding and otherwise),antibiotics, to bute(pain killer) to stuff i have never heard of lol. LOVE IT
  Highly recommend it
• Perfect condition
• can be boring if you try to read it all in one setting, but it has a lot of good information for somebody who wants to medicate their own horses. If your at a farm and don't have easy access to a vet, I'd highly recommend this book! Even if you just want to know more about meds it's a great read.
• Understanding Equine Medications is the handbook I have been waiting a lifetime for!!! I have been breeding and handling horses for the past 30 years, have spent countless dollars and too many frustrating moments when faced with a crisis and needed help. Many times our moments of crisis can be avioded IF we have the information we need, in laymans terms. Dr. Forney has produced an outstanding publication in providing much needed information for all horse owners, in all areas of horsemanship.
  I now have the inside story on medications that I need, which could prevent a very costly mistake clearly due to lack of knowledge of medications and usage. This publication should relieve many veterinarians of middle of the night phone calls, prevent hysterical horse owners unusual amounts of gray hair, and most importantly, provide the horse with the care and help they need. Thank you Dr. Barbara Forney, you are a goddess!!
  Dr. Forney is that rare individual that not only understands medication doseage, the history of medication, yet is an avid horse person herself. It is evident that this book provides us with USEFUL knowledge written from the perspective of someone who 'has been there' which carries great credibility and usefulness. Bravo, it rates a 10!

• Every horse owner should know a bunch about medicating horses, or shouldn't own one (or be owned by one). This is your ticket for learning, but I suggest you try your first flight at it with a vet on hand.
• My new trainer recommended this book for me so when she was medicating or telling of different meds , all I had to do is look them up and have it told to me in simple words rather than some medical mumble jumble that vets used sometimes , This book will definitly be on the top shelf for quick and easy reference , I have other books about meds but this is THE BEST !! If I could give 10 stars it would get 11 This book takes all the guess work out of administering as well as dosege for different ages of horses.
