A Guide to Plant Poisoning of Animals in North America deals definately with types of problems such as sudden death, neurologic effects, liver effects, urinary effects, etc. Each chapter contains in rank of the plant on the surroundings, description, principal toxin, clinical,treatment if applicatble and exhaustive references.
This is the only resource that approaches these problems in the way that the clinican must. The typical poisoning presents as a fact (dead animal), or a sympton (severe drooling), and tracing the cause is not everlastingly simple. The trick is to relate the problem to possible toxins and to relate that in rank to specific plant types. The organization of this book follows the judgment that the clinician uses even as other resources approach it from a purely botanical top of view and are basic science oriented.Amazon.com Review

After a recent bout with a small known plant toxin affecting my high-quality stallion, I searched through various horse/pasture guides and exposed that they were either incomplete, or didn’t correctly list the right distribution of the weed/plant across the United States. Ultimately, I found this book and despite its price resolute to give it a try. I have been delighted with the depth and breadth of in rank in this book, and it is particularly comforting to be able to read about ALL possible things that I need to look for in my pastures. If you own horses, or care for them on your property, do yourself a act of kindness and get this book! Its also fantastic to protect my dogs.
