Product Description
The importance of animal behavior and psychological well-being is increasingly being recognized in the veterinary profession. This new edition is designed to be even more practical and user-friendly than the first. For a range of behavioral presentations, consideration is given to evaluation of the patient, including any possible underlying disease; evaluation of client attitudes, beliefs and behavior; risk evaluation; behavioral biology of the condition; acute management protocols; long-term treatment strategies; prognosis; follow-up; and preventive measures. A special chapter on shelter animals has been added, as this is an area where veterinary support is increasingly sought in both health and husbandry. An included CD offers client handouts, history-taking forms, detailed behavioral questionaires for each species and a referral form. |

Excellent Information for all Cat Owners  5 Stars
March 24, 2003
This book is a bit pricey but well worth it. It begins with overviews of normal cat behaviour and development, from birth onwards, and then moves to discussions of the causes of and how to handle behavioral problems (such as fear!). It is written for the veterinary professional but is not too difficult for the layman to understand. The chapters are each written by an international authority on that particular subject (such as Dr. Crowell-Davis of UGA who writes on "Social Organization, Communication, and Development in Cats"). I can't speak from the point of view of a dog enthusiast, but cat owners and breeders will find this volume both interesting and useful.
