Vet Study Collection VET 636.089 FORSE     Where there is no vet aims to help people keep their animals healthy. It covers a wide range of topics that affect the health of livestock, from diarrhoea to rinderpest, from helpful traditional remedies to the uses of modern medicines and vaccines. By describing the signs of disease to look for, it helps readers to work out what is wrong with an animal and then tells them what to do about it. Emphasis is placed on preventing and controlling diseases and it also helps people to recognize which problems need assistance from experienced vets or skilled workers. The book covers animals like cattle, buffaloes, goats, sheep, pigs, horses, donkeys and camels. It also describes some important problems of dogs, rabbits and poultry. The book is of great value for anyone who keeps animals and for people who run outreach programs, advise or teach others who keep animals. Some of the interesting sections of the book are: The first section explains how to look things up in the book and about the basic equipment. The section 'Sharing your knowledge' tells you how to teach others what you know. 'Signs of disease' will help you to work out which disease an animal might have and also tells you which pages to turn to for more details in Section 7: 'Diseases and problems and what to do about'. One disease often has many names even in the same language! This book always uses the same name for each disease but gives another common name for it if there is one. Section 8: 'Medicines' tells you how to use medicines properly. It gives details about many common useful medicines. Section 9: 'Where to get more help' gives a guide to some books and organizations that may help you.
