Description

“When it comes to health issues...it’s up to you to be your pet’s common sense.”

— Where There Is No Pet Doctor

Where There Is No Pet Doctor addresses the ways that you, as a pet owner with common sense and a few skills, may be able to treat your dog or cat until professional care is available, or provide emergency, life-saving treatment, if needed.

The book includes a rating system to gauge various procedures according to both degree of difficulty and possible risk to the pet. Suggested lists of drugs and supplies are also included, along with a drug formulary that gives proper dosages for many medications found in human medical kits.
