Help before calling the vet

I found this book very useful in spoting the possible symptoms in my ailing cat ERNIE. Most cats are very quiet when they're hurting and they need our help to look for signs that WE can attend to ourselves before calling the vet. I strongly recommend this book.

Lifesaver!

Having had probably 8 cat books, this is a keeper. It may have saved the life of my beautiful Tortie-Tabby. At the age of 11, she had a Petit Mal seizure and miraculously it was described abundantly in the book. I took her right in and rec'd some Rx that I gave her for several months. Gradually, her seizures diminished and she has lost her fear of them and has smoother reactions. I've referred to this book dozens or hundreds of times. I totally love it.

This Belongs In All Cat Homes

If our cats could tell us what's wrong or where it hurts, it would be easy to diagnose and treat their illnesses. Since this isn't the case, this book is a must have. Written by a veterinarian, this book offers help in an easy to use format. The first chapter discusses emergency situations such as bite wounds and heat stroke, while the second chapter describes abnormal behaviors such as aggression and lethargy. The following eight chapters tour the animal's body from head to toe, discussing symptoms, diagnoses, possible causes, care, and prevention. At the end, there's a checklist for good health and information on performing weekly home exams. If you don't have a copy, I highly recommend picking one up.

A Great Reference Guide to Help You!

This is a great book for any cat owner; it has every possible symptom and possible reasons for that symptom. Since I own an older cat, this book is a great reference for me when I see a change in his behavior. This book is well worth purchasing!
