Synopsis:

Is there an animal doctor in the house?

Most likely, the answer is no. And when an accident or other emergency threatens your pet, every minute counts. Don't be unprepared! You'll find a comprehensive A-to-Z guide of more than 150 common--and not so common--injuries and conditions. Offering the expertise of more than 80 veterinary ER experts, you'll find advice on how to use what's at hand in your human medicine chest-or pantry-to treat everyday problems or even save the life of the pet you love. Learn about the thousand uses of Saran Wrap for first aid; how to jump-start the stopped heart with a safety pin; which situations constitute an emergency; and what problems you can safely treat at home. From hangnails to gunshot wounds, this is the book pet lovers hope they'll never need--but always want to have on hand.
