User-Friendly Guide for Pet Health-Care Decision Making -- Speaking for Spot
Most pet owners are motivated advocates for their pets. But how to know for sure if you are making good medical decisions for them? Do you sometimes feel alone and unprepared?
Speaking for Spot: Be the Advocate Your Dog Needs to Live a Happy, Healthy, Longer Life
by Dr. Nancy Kay provides a user-friendly guide for health-care decision-making. Seemingly directed towards dogs, this book provides indispensable, practical information for all pet owners.
You will find answers to these questions, plus much more: Which veterinarian is the right one for me and my dog? Which vaccinations does my dog need? Is it time to get a second opinion? Where do I get one? How much is this going to cost? Is there a more economical option? Is this medication necessary? Is this cough or that lump "normal"? Should I take my dog to the vet immediately? Should I wait and see if he's better tomorrow? Is my dog ready to say goodbye? Am I ready to let him go?
In Speaking for Spot, Dr. Kay provides an insider's guide to navigating the overwhelming, confusing, and expensive world of veterinary medicine with a warmth, candor, and humor cultivated over 20-plus years of working with canine patients and their human companions. She explains the vet's point of view, and how to initiate and nurture a healthy relationship with a vet and her staff. She leads a guided tour through a modern veterinary land comprised of high-tech scanning devices, advanced surgery, physical rehabilitation, and more--the kinds of amazing medical procedures you expect to find in a human hospital, but may not have known were available for your four-legged friends.
Dr. Kay helps you come to grips with a cancer diagnosis, and explains the tough choices that are bound to follow. Plus, you'll find an alphabetical listing of the most common symptoms experienced by dogs and the questions your vet is sure to ask when you report them--not to mention hundreds of prevalent diseases and related points you should be certain to clarify before leaving your vet's office with a treatment plan in hand.
