Description
This groundbreaking reference is the first and only comprehensive book to address the needs of older dogs and cats, providing the veterinary
clinician, veterinary student, and animal health technician with health-related information that is clinically relevant and quickly retrievable
in a simple format. It offers a complete and practical review of the causes, incidence, clinical features, diagnosis, and management
of both common and uncommon problems associated with the aging process and acquired illness. Each chapter offers tips on the physical
examination of that body system and provides quick-reference tables for guidance on diagnosis and treatment. Because of the increased
health problems in aging dogs and cats and the ardent attachment of the pet owner, veterinarians need to know more about aging so they
may delay or minimize the progressive deterioration of aging and improve the quality of life for geriatric dogs and cats.
