Content:
Equine Neurology, Second Edition is a comprehensive, clinically oriented reference to neurologic diseases and conditions in equine patients. Offering a highly practical, problem-based approach, the book provides diagnostic algorithms, charts, and tables, all intended to act as resources for the nervous system exam, differential diagnosis, and treating neurology presentations. For the first time, the Second Edition includes access to downloadable video clips on a companion website, and adds chapters on imaging the nervous system, neuronal physiology, sleep disorders, head shaking, differenti.
