Product Description
Part of the Pet Lovers Guide series, this volume describes how to recognize an emergency including surveying the pet and assessing the scene. A list of emergency situations and how to respond is included. The book offers an alphabetical list of both major and minor emergencies, their causes, signs, and first aid treatment. Both dogs and cats are included in each general category. In addition, the book describes CPR and includes suggestions for a pet first-aid kit, including which human drugs may be used on pets. * Full-color line art and photographs demonstrate animal behavior, how to take pulses and heart rates, and pressure points. Other illustrations depict transport of a trauma patient, basic CPR techniques, types of bandages, allergic reactions, open-mouth breathing, and methods of cooling for heatstroke. * Special boxes labeled "Where We Stand" present the authors strong opinions on specific (sometimes controversial) issues in a highlighted, easy-to-find format. * Key terms are highlighted, making them easy to locate and reference these terms are also included in the glossary with clear, simple definitions. * Important information is bulleted and placed in a shaded box, bringing the main points to the readers attention in a quick and useful way. * Detailed list of emergency situations and proper responses shows how to do a complete and thorough examination of causes and signs, plus first-aid treatment, in a concise and user-friendly format.

This is a MUST HAVE book for all pet owners who don't know what to do and are frantic in the middle of an emergency. I worked for Dr. Tom Day and he taught me everything I know and now he is passing on that knowledege to others. You wouldn't want to put the care of your animal in anyone else's hands and this book will show you the way! GOOD JOB DR. DAY!cms
