Cat Owner’s Home

VETERINARY

Handbook

This book is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice of veterinar-

ians. Readers should regularly consult a veterinarian in matters relating to

their cat’s health, and particularly with respect to any symptoms that may

require medical attention.

In writing this book, we have described the signs and symptoms that will

lead you to a preliminary idea of what is happening with your cat, so you can

weigh the severity of the problem. Knowing when to call your veterinarian is

very important. Delays can be dangerous.

At the same time, we have sought to provide guidance for the acute or

emergency situations that you must handle on your own until you can get

your cat to a veterinarian. Life-saving procedures such as artificial respiration

and heart massage, and what to do in the event of poisonings, obstetrical

problems, and other emergencies, are explained step by step.

But a veterinary handbook is not a substitute for professional care. Advice

from a book can never be as helpful or as safe as actual medical advice. No

text can replace the interview and the hands-on examination that enable a

veterinarian to make a speedy and accurate diagnosis.

However, the knowledge provided in this book will enable you to more

effectively cooperate and better understand your interactions with your vet-

erinarian. You’ll be more alert to the signs of health problems and better able

to describe them. You’ll know more about basic care for your cat, and you’ll be

prepared in an emergency. Together, you and your veterinarian make a great

health team for your cat!
