In today’s horse industry, the ongoing debate between traditional and alternative medications can be truly overwhelming, and herbs and supplements are pre-packaged with "promises" of improvement. So how do you decide what your horse does and doesn’t need? Dr. David Ramey saves the day with a fully updated edition of his no-nonsense compendium of all you really need to know about:

Vitamins • Minerals • Sedatives • Hormones • Antibiotics • Liniments • Emollients • Anesthetics • Ointments • Corticosteroids • Oils • NSAIDs • Antihistamines • Dewormers • Joint supplements • Bronchodilators • Hoof dressings • Expectorants • Poultices...and more.

Crystal clear explanations, helpful cross-referencing, pronunciation guides, and an index of brand names make this book a convenient and easy way to understand the actions of ingredients, administer medications safely, select substances wisely, and avoid problems in competition.

Northwest Horse Source's K.C. Cowdrey says of The Concise Guide...

"I found this book well written and easy to read and understand, while at the same time it didn't talk down to lay people. The ability to quickly look up the name of a drug or chemical compound makes this book a fantastic ‘quickie’ reference. This is one book I definitely will keep in my informational library!"

Dr. David Ramey is a 1983 graduate of Colorado State University. After completing an internship in equine medicine and surgery at Iowa State University, he entered private equine practice in southern California.
