Hautkrankheiten bei Pferden

The skin is not only the largest but also a very important organ of the horse. Therefore, skin diseases can be particularly bothersome, and some of them are not only difficult to treat but can even become life-threatening. The book thoroughly outlines the functions of healthy skin and then addresses the most common diseases that horse owners frequently encounter with their animals: from fungal infections on the legs to sarcoids on the face, and even eczema that can affect the entire body. The author, Anke Rüsbüldt, a specialist veterinarian for horses, explains the possible causes for each condition, describes the symptoms, and provides tips for effective treatment and, whenever possible, prevention. Informative photos assist the reader in identifying which skin disease their own horse may be suffering from and whether they can take action to treat it themselves.
