. . . an exceptional book every pet owner should have . . . The authors completely demystified the threat of cancer, defined what it is, what causes it, the common terms associated with it, andprovided statistics of jus how common or uncommon each type is., Advances in cancer treatment for pets are being made as quickly as those for humans. Debra M. Eldredge, DVM, is author of 'Cancer and Your Pet: The Complete Guide to the Latest Research, Treatments, and Options.'The New York State veterinarian said that pets very often tolerate treatment better than humans. The goals in treating cancer in pets are control of the cancer and quality of life for as long as possible, Eldredge said., "Good nutrition and great veterinary medicine have dramatically increased the lifespan of pets. As a result, more pets are dying of cancer; in fact it's the number one killer of dogs and cats over eight years old. That's why I'm so excited about Cancer and Your Pet. Cover to cover, this book is filled with the current best thinking on cancer and lifts the cloud of darkness that often surrounds this surprisingly, highly treatable disease. Whether you want treatment options or comfort, increased quality of life or quantity of life for your beloved four-legged family member, Cancer and Your Pet belongs on your bookshelf." ---Dr. Marty Becker, resident veterinarian on ABC TV's Good Morning America, Knight Ridder pet columnist, nationally syndicated host of "Pets Unleashed" pet talk radio show, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul, co-author of The Healing Power of Pets, This softcover provides information about diagnosing a possible cancer, how to give medications, veterinary medical insurance, and many other topics that a pet owner needs and wants to know., The comprehensive guide for pet owners seeking options includes case studies and advice on decision-making. Topics range from diagnosing cancers and how to give medicines to homeopathic medicine and pain management. Eldredge, a graduate of Cornell Veterinary College, was the first recipient of the 'Gentle Doctor Award' for the student who provided the best care for patients...It's an interesting read., Debra Eldredge, DVM, and Margaret Bonham guide readers from the shock of the initial diagnosis through understanding treatment options to making educated, difficult decisions on behalf of beloved pets. 'Cancer and Your Pet' presents a useful overview of common and not-so-common cancers in dogs and cats, as well as conventional and treatment options still under investigation, such as cancer vaccines and new research in chemotherapy....This is an extremely useful starting point for those whose pets have just been diagnosed., In this book you will find everything you need to know about cancer in cats and dogs from details about different forms of the disease to treatment options and the recovery process. The book simultaneously offers hope that our beloved pets can beat the disease, whil arming guardians with across-the-board knowledge of how to handle every aspect of dealing with pets and cancer.
