Take the bull by the horns

Where there is no vet, there very well could be a community-based animal health care worker (CAHW). The new publication, Community-based Animal Healthcare, is full of practical guidance for the design and management of community-based animal health services, including the training and deployment of CAHWs. It shows how to establish links between basic level CAHWs, private veterinarians and State veterinary services. It will be especially useful for countries with remote pastoral and mountainous regions, where veterinary services are lacking. The book definitely fills a gap - there is not much written material available for these workers.
