It then discusses specific toxicant categories and toxicants of concern, organized alphabetically for fast access in emergency situations.

The identically formatted topics offer key information relevant to managing toxicants in horses, plus clinical photographs depicting plants and drugs to help clinicians and students identify toxicants. A companion website presents the figures from the book for download in PowerPoint.
