Equids Medicine, Orthopedic and Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Equid health is a veterinary scientific field constantly evolving and increasing in complexity. It is pivotal for an equid veterinary clinician to keep his mind open and pliant. Donkeys, mules, and horses are gaining relevance in a scientific scenario due to their increasing popularity as working animals and pets and to a related increase in owners’ awareness concerning their welfare and health.

Equid owners are becoming more and more demanding with regard to their own veterinarian, who must be updated on novel diagnostic technologies, procedures, and techniques and innovative therapies and trained to give an accurate prognosis in order to provide an excellent service.

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research papers, case studies, and review articles focusing on the latest advances in clinically relevant aspects of equine medicine, orthopedics, and surgery. This Special Issue welcomes all experts and researchers that would like to present information in a concise, understandable, and logical format on the current “state-of-the-art” in equid veterinary medicine.

You are invited to submit either an original research article or a review summarizing research on equid medicine, orthopedics, and surgery. Articles highlighting and documenting any aspect of this field will be considered for publication.
