Dr. Kellon's Guide First Aid Second Edition by Eleanor Kellon

This is the best first-aid book on the market. The new, updated version contains new and updated material and pictures in every section. In addition, there are NEW chapters on dealing with accidents, and splinting techniques. This is not a complete horse-health-care book. It is a handy, at your fingertips guide to keep on hand to reference when an emergency arises. In addition to step-by-step instructions in what to do in an emergency, Dr. Kellon gives an excellent rating system that helps determine the urgency of the situation. The book has a spiral binding that allows it to lay open comfortably, such as on the barn floor while you are dealing with an emergency. Directions are clear and concise. Color-coded pages divided by major illness category, index and excellent appendices with vital information are useful. This book was written to be used when you're stressed and in a hurry, not as a book to be read for pleasure. 254pgs, S, 2005
