Publisher's Synopsis
What exactly is navicular syndrome? This is usually the first question asked by horse owners after a veterinarian makes the diagnosis. This concise handbook tells horse owners what they need to know about: the normal anatomy and physiology of the horse's foot; the diagnosis and treatment of navicular syndrome; shoeing strategies and surgical treatments for navicular; and the prognosis and longterm care of a horse suffering from the disease. Dr. David Ramey owns an equine veterinary practice in Southern California.
