Handbook Of Veterinary Obstetrics 2nd Ed.

Description:
This handbook provides a clear and practical guide to veterinary obstetrics in large and small domestic animals. A detailed description of normal birth facilitates immediate recognition of the abnormal by the practitioner and provides a baseline against which dystocia and its treatment can be measured. The causes of dystocia encountered in each of the domestic species are described, with notes on some exotic species. Immediate care of mother and offspring following delivery, and problems which occur post-parturition are also covered.
