This text addresses the most common clinical procedures in veterinary practice used with horses, cattle, llamas, goats, and pigs; with primary emphasis placed on horses and cattle. The purpose, potential complications, and a detailed equipment list are provided for every procedure. In addition to listing the technical steps of each procedure, this text includes a rationale column which explains, amplifies and provides additional insight concerning each step. Topics of importance include restraint; husbandry; physical examination; specimen collection; clinical procedures; lower limb radiographs; neonatal procedures; and surgical and anesthetic preps.
