Synopsis:

IS THERE AN ANIMAL DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?!

When an accident or other emergency threatens your cat or dog, every minute counts. With the expertise of more than 80 ER veterinary 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 a stopped heart with a safety pin; which situations constitute an emergency; and what problems you can safely treat at home. There's also great prevention advice, as well as follow-up care information for after your pet has seen the veterinarian. From hangnails, to gunshot wounds, this book offers a comprehensive A-to-Z guide to more than 150 common--and not so common--injuries and conditions. You'll pray you never need it, but be grateful it's at hand when the worst happens.
