diseases of the horse. Recognition of<br />
normality and degree of deviation from<br />
normal are stressed along with<br />
preventive medicine. The laboratory<br />
sessions emphasize skills such as<br />
measuring vital signs, recognizing<br />
deviations from normal<br />
behavior/attitude/measures of health<br />
as well as skills such as administering<br />
medications. (Offered fall term)<br />
