Concise Guide to Medications, Supplements and Herbs for the Horse (Concise Guide series) Paperback – September 1, 2007

always right on with his information.

I was hoping this would have dosing information as well as other herbal remedies available, it’s mostly a list of common drugs given and what they are used for. The herbal information is less than helpful. For a novice horse owner it would a great reference book, as someone who was looking for more information, I’m clearly going to have to hand write dosage information in here to have a more complete guide.

Great

This book caught my eye as a horse owner and horse lover; I also study holistic treatment modalities and had high hopes for this book.Written by a DVM, who obviously practices more traditional western vet care, the text is clearly written with even a tinge of humor.Although herbal medicine is treated rather disdainfully, his articulate and concise descriptions of medications and supplements is very useful. He explains the action of the drug/supplement, product claims, precautions, and side effects. Dr. Ramey is very good at dispelling confusion about the multitude of products available for horses, while speaking in terms the average layman can understand.Though not quite what I was after, all in all, a good book that I will not part with; another reference book I recommend to equine professionals and/or hobbyists.Think of it as a horse owner's version of a Physician's Desk Reference.

good
