Product Description

From Library Journal

Most people would agree that it is difficult to recognize the signs of illness in our petsAa problem compounded by their inability to communicate with us in our own language. The authors of these concise and affordable books are all veterinarians (save one) who believe that the easiest way to detect disease early in pets is to educate the owner about the animals' normal bodily functions and behavior. In each book, Part 1 covers the healthy body, with overviews of the senses and the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, respiratory, and other systemsAall presented in lay readers' terms. There are also sections on proper veterinary care, vaccinations, nutrition, grooming, and the importance of spaying/neutering procedures. In Part 2, the authors give insight into common accidents and medical emergencies (such as diarrhea, seizures, poisoning, and heat prostration), contagious and infectious diseases, and first aid care. A valuable and extensive index of signs and symbols is included along with appendixes covering household products that are poisonous, congenital defects and disorders, and medical terms and diseases mentioned in the text. Both titles are recommended for public libraries, although concerned pet owners will also want to keep a copy at home.AEdell Marie Schaefer, Brookfield P.L., WI

1.0 out of 5 stars How to make your vet rich and some other stuff about dogs, Oct 31 2002

By A Customer

I was hoping for a LOT more. This is simplistic so anyone can understand it BUT the advice is almost always "SEE YOUR VET"
Having taught a college class on canine home ER, this is a ridiculous advertisement for the veterinary biz. Simple, common
non-health problems are looked upon as a situation requiring the vets help...and I am talking the every-dog-on-the-planet-does-this kind of things such as coughs up a bit of phlegm ( or whatever it ate too fast) and the occasional sneezes, as well as dry skin.Never is a simple, try the logical,home remedy suggested. Essential preventative supplements and care are not addressed nor much of any of the truly important aspects of the average dog.Being in a business where we have hundreds of customers as well as having been a breeder, I was totally disappointed. I can not even HONESTLY sell this book in our shop.We'll use it as a give away...maybe.My heart says "NO"
it is just too "the vet is god" so go see him/her.
I suppose it can come in handy if someone just happens to have a life threatening emergency come up and they are instructed to go to the vet when they might not have. But there are so many better books out there. The one by Giffin and the UC Davis one
are excellent and for the more medical person, the Merck.
