false 369548 2 Open the front cover and the first two pages you see contain the Index of Signs and Symptoms, from Abdomen (painful, swollen, distended, and tucked up) to Weight loss, Wheezing, and Whining (continual). There's a comprehensive index in back, of course, running the gamut from Abortion to Zinc-Responsive Dermatosis, which is all very useful, but when your pooch is in pain, it's great to be able to turn, with the minimum of folderol, to the page that says to relax, it's nothing a bit of extra grooming won't fix, or alternatively to hightail it over to the vet hospital. It's a wonderful reference for any dog owner, with chapters on emergencies (such as burns, dehydration, and poisoning), as well as worms, infectious diseases, skin care, and canine eyes, ears, and nose. There are chapters on the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems, the nervous, musculoskeletal, and urinary systems, plus dog sex, whelping, puppy pediatrics, geriatrics, and chapters on cancers and medications. In short, it covers every health dimension a dog owner might want to know more about, identifies the possible causes, helps you determine the severity of the condition, and indicates what treatments or actions to take to best insure your dog's good health. <I>--Stephanie Gold</I> 2380619 1992 Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook (Howell Reference Books) total:10|5:1|4:0|3:0|2:0|1:0| 10 42 17 0 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 19:47:52 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 19:47:52 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 09 15:06:34 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 15:06:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 19 11:26:28 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 11:26:28 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Feb 19 21:02:59 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 21:02:59 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 14 13:22:10 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 13:22:10 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 29 05:52:03 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 05:52:03 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 19:41:58 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 19:41:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 10 10:45:28 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 10:45:28 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Nov 18 14:32:45 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 14:32:45 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Aug 31 10:52:33 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 10:52:33 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 29 14:31:52 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 14:31:52 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Mar 12 18:59:10 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 12 18:59:10 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Mar 10 10:57:54 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 10 10:57:54 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Feb 19 19:56:36 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 19:56:36 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Sep 22 06:19:32 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 22 06:19:32 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Mon Sep 17 09:52:59 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 17 09:52:59 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Aug 12 17:54:22 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 17:54:33 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2373709
