Why read it?

1 author picked Goat Medicine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Although expensive, this book is one of my go-to books for veterinary issues that my goats may have. It is written by veterinarians and is more technical than some other books on the subject, but it is very useful when working with a veterinarian or just to better understand the various diseases and conditions that goats can get.

I like the fact that studies are often cited to back up information they share, as well as the photos throughout. 

From Cheryl's list on keeping your goats healthy.
