Product Description

Product Description
The classic bestseller––expanded and updated

For years, many veterinary treatments for cats were based on research conducted with dogs because it was wrongly assumed that cats were very similar. Recently, there have been giant strides in feline veterinary research. This classic reference is fully updated and revised to reflect these advances and gives you the most up–to–date guidance on cat health and cat care. It includes:

  • An index of signs and symptoms to help you find information fast
  • Clearly written, step–by–step directions for handling common feline ailments and problems
  • Hundreds of photos, drawings, and tables that illustrate what to look for and how to provide the best care for your cats
  • All new anatomical drawings and diagrams
  • New information on genetics, geriatrics, drug sensitivities, raw diets, arthritis medications, dental disease, and more
  • Information on supplements, nutraceuticals, and holistic treatments that have proven beneficial
  • Interesting findings on cat behavior

Whether you have a kitten or a senior cat, this resource helps you quickly identify potential problems, take proper steps in emergency situations, better understand diagnoses and treatment options, and communicate more effectively with your veterinarian. This is the hands–on reference you′ll trust again and again.

From the Inside Flap

The most comprehensive, essential reference for every cat owner, this easy–to–use, authoritative guide provides the vital information you need to take good care of your cat in all types of situations and in all ages and stages of her life. This fully revised and updated Third Edition covers common feline problems and ailments in language you can understand. It includes current information on:

  • Vaccine protocols

  • Flea, tick, and heartworm preventives

  • Nutrition and understanding cat food labels

  • Newly recognized heart, muscle, and dental diseases

  • Lower urinary tract disease, hip dysplasia, calicivirus, and many other conditions

  • New drugs and surgical techniques

  • Therapies using supplements, nutraceuticals, and holistic modalities

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, But A Bit Too Americanised, 2 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Although this book is full of practical advice and easy to understand information, I found that it is a little too geared towards the US market.

A revised UK version would be stupendous.

A very good book nevertheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, easy to read and concise, 8 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I found this to be thorough and detailed about various problems. It is written with the cat owner in mind and not a vet, so it is easy to understand. It tells you in detail how to do mouth to mouth in an emergency, which other books don't. It also gives good advice on what do do if your cat drinks various poisons. The best cat medical book I have bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book offers a comprehensive resource for cat owners., 4 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This is a must-have for any cat owner. While it does help to have a basic understanding of medical terms, the book offers an in-depth resource for ailments of all types as well as information on basic cat-care. Photos throughout the book aid in visual recognition of signs and symptoms of a multitude of illnesses.
