'...there is much descriptive material in the book, derived from
the author's experience, that may help the uninitiated recognise
what may be wrong and encourage them to seek veterinary
advice...there is sound advice throughout the book on various
aspects of management including diets reflecting what the species
has evolved to eat "in the wild" and management regimes that
reflect the benefits of, for example, grazing at pasture in
horses.' Professor Alistair Barr MA VetMB LLB PhD DVR DEO DipECVS
CertSAO MRCVS, School of Clinical Veterinary Sciences, University
of Bristol, England, UK Reader's Reviews: 'What a very useful
little book. I was absorbed by this and read it from cover to cover
with great interest, although much of it is about horses and I have
never been near a horse in my life. I like Dr Chapman's no-nonsense
style and appreciate his vast experience, especially his inclusion
of what he calls natural and alternative remedies. I am especially
delighted to discover why my red setter has extremely unsociable
flatulence - and shall be giving her raw (not cooked) vegetables in
future. Thank you!' 'Dr. Chapman's easy and informative style of
writing, took me straight to the heart of his concern and knowledge
for animals. His wide and far reaching approach in diagnosis and
treatment is inspiring. 'Thinking outside the box', and using all
of his years of experience and skill, would make me feel confident
that any animal would receive the best help available while in his
care.Through this small book, Dr. Chapman impresses me as a man who
has enjoyed his work. He has retained an active interest in modern
veterinary science, while incorporating a wider understanding
through a his holistic approach and willingness to apply folk or
'bush' remedies, when appropriate.' 'A very good read and very
informative ... Highly recommended.' 'I am delighted with this
book, easy to read with lots of interesting tips and advice, think
it is an absolute must for every horsey bookshelf. It also contains
useful information and first-aid treatment relevant to cats, dogs
and most other animals too, in fact a thoroughly good read for
anyone involved in animal care. Fascinating little book, excellent
value for money.' "This book is excellent for anyone who is not
sure what warrants a vet visit or what can be monitored for a
while. Just what I was wanting!" "Really useful handbook to have,
additional chapters regarding dogs and cats makes it even
better."
"What a very useful little book. I was absorbed by this and read it
from cover to cover with great interest. I like Dr Chapman's
no-nonsense style and appreciate his vast experience, especially

"Very handy little book to have on-hand for that unexpected
crisis."
