Description

This text is dedicated to the health needs of dogs and cats during their older years. It gives practical guidance on how to treat patients effectively and has a review of the cause, incidence, clinical features, diagnosis and management of both common and uncommon diseases in older dogs and cats. The book assists in fast diagnoses with tips on the physical examination of individual body systems. It increases treatment options with coverage of state-of-the-art medical and surgical therapies and competent nutritional management. It also aims to help readers to provide better care with discussions of the problems of geriatric dogs and cats that need to be handled differently than those of normal adults.
