ABSTRACT

General Principles The goal of this book is to provide a readily useable reference for equine dermatology with adequate information for a

thorough and logical workup of a horse with skin disease. It also

provides therapeutic protocols for the most common equine derma-

tologic problems. There are three sections in this book. The first

covers how to take a dermatologic history, interpret the results of

this history in light of the clinical findings, and which diagnostic

tests to perform. The second explains an approach to common der-

matologic presentations in equine practice. The last summarizes

therapeutic options for specific conditions.
