Summary

Cat Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook Fully revised and expanded, the Cat Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook is the most essential book any cat owner can have. Clearly written, step-by-step directions give you vital information at your fingertips: when you can treat your cat yourself and how to communicate signs and symptoms so that your veterinarian can give your pet the best care possible. A quick reference section on emergencies, all in alphabetical order, enables every owner to find information fast when time is shortest. An index of signs and symptoms on the inside front cover puts every page reference right at hand. Headings in boldface type make finding the right information easy, and charts and tables on vaccinations, household drugs, antibiotics and much more, give complete answers to questions all cat owners ask. A thoroughly detailed index highlights all items covered. Over 200 illustrations enhance every owner's understanding of how to give pills and other medications, how to take a cat's temperature and how to apply bandages. Here in one comprehensive volume is the latest in lifesaving procedures and all veterinary therapies to help you give your cat a lifetime of good care.
