Kamen, et al
By Ann E. Hohenhaus D.V.M. "This comprehensive and
practical book is designed to assist dog owners in understanding their pets'
bodies and health based on signs and symptoms of disease, and in determining the
most common medical problems that might cause particular symptoms. Five leading
veterinarians have designed a user-friendly chart system that will guide a pet
owner from noting the symptom and observing the dog's behavior to understanding
the associated signs of an illness, the possible conditions, and the best steps
to take. Filled with more than two hundred charts in an easy-to-follow two-color
format and medical drawings, this is the indispensable reference for dog owners.
It not only considers the problems of sick and injured pets, but also addresses
the needs of healthy animals."
