Animal diseases: Horses, Donkeys and Mules
by Dr Pamela Oberem

This fully illustrated guide for the South African horse, mule or donkey owner, is proving to be immensely popular among equine lovers (see our review of the Afrikaans edition of this book in SA Horseman of January 2008).

The guide covers the diseases, parasites and plant poisonings that occur among these animals, with the emphasis on how to prevent these conditions. The most important internal and external parasites of horses are also discussed and illustrated.

This is the first comprehensive veterinary guide to be published in South Africa specifically for the horse owner. It contains more than 250 full-colour photographs and diagrams to allow owners to become familiar with the most common conditions in horses in South Africa (ISBN: 978-1-875093-79-3). Also available in ­Afrikaans.

'n Gids tot Dieresiektes in Suid-Afrika – Katte en Honde
deur dr Pamela Oberem

Almal wat perde besit en liefhet, het waarskynlik nog 'n ­troeteldier of twee ook om na om te sien! Dr ­Pamela Oberem se nuutste boek oor katte- en hondesiektes, dek al die siektes, para­siete en vergiftigings wat by ­hierdie diere voorkom, met die klem op hoe om dié toestande te voorkom.

Die oorsaak, belangrikheid, simptome, diagnose, behandeling en voorkoming van die siektes word bespreek en aan die hand van meer as 200 volkleur foto's geïllustreer. Hierdie is die eerste omvattende veeartsenykundige publikasie in Suid-Afrika gerig op die klein-diere eienaar (ISBN: 978-1-875093-79-3). Ook beskikbaar in Engels.

Beide boeke is beskikbaar by Briza Uitgewers se aanlyn-winkel op www.briza.co.za of bestel dit direk van Agri Connect deur Charlene te skakel by 012 843 5703.
