Diseases of Senior Cats and Dogs - Diagnosis and Therapy (Broché)

Pets, particularly cats and dogs, are living longer than ever before. Almost half of their lifespan makes up the senior/geriatric life stage. Pet owners, our clients, spend more money on their pets with every passing year, and they undoubtedly expect veterinary practitioners to have a high level of professional competence. A useful resource for clinicians, this book summarises all the aspects of veterinary care in senior pets.
It emphasises practicality and employs numerous images, tables, and algorithms to make the content easy to understand. In addition, each chapter contains recommendations and advice for veterinary clinicians, with special reference to the owners' most controversial points of view on their senior pet's health condition. Thanks to the advances made in veterinary medicine in the last decade, this new edition has been made possible.
All chapters have been rigorously reviewed and updated, with a particular emphasis on pharmacological protocols and dosages and new therapies. An entire new chapter on endocrine problems in senior pets has been added, a topic that was absent from the first edition. All of this makes this book an up-to-date and accurate source of information. After the success of the first edition, this manual is aimed at helping veterinary clinicians provide the best care for senior cats and dogs in daily practice.
