Sheep and Goat Medicine

This is a straightforward book that has more information than the sheep and goat guides geared for lay people. A lot of small flock folks have vets who don't do much sheep medicine, or it is geared for large commercial flocks. So it is very helpful to be able to be able to have the information you need to make decisions about problems in the flock that may differ from a commercial sheep grower's decision about an individual animal.I might be a little odd, but I read the whole book and enjoyed it.

A VERY comprehensive "textbook" on the subject. This is not light reading, uses many technical terms. Provides a very broad foundation of medical needs of these animals.

My husband is a small animal veterinarian and I am an RN (before kids and hobby farming). This book may be a bit too technical for some, but would be useful for most shepherds looking to triage their flock or individual animals. Won't replace a veterinarian :-) BUT - can help you know when to call in the professional!

Lots of excellent info in one book. The dosage chart appendix is very helpful.

This is the ulimate must have item for anyone raising sheep or goats. It has up-to-date information and pictures discussing and offers advice for any type of illness or emergency. Great reference. easy for laypersons to understand.

This book was a gift to a granddaughter, so I don't know the effectiveness of the information contained within. Certainly had quick shipment and I am hoping it was just what she wanted.
