AZ Of Dog Diseases & Health Problems: Signs, Diagnoses, Causes, Treatment

This user-friendly reference is divided into two sections. The first section, "Signs of Diseases and Health Problems A–Z" lists symptoms alphabetically. To find the appropriate information, the reader doesn't need to name the medical condition or system, only to describe the symptom. This first section is cross-referenced with the second part, "Treatment of Diseases and Health Problems A–Z," in which symptoms are associated with invaluable veterinary advice–causes, diagnoses, and appropriate treatment. Additional information on canine anatomy, first aid and advice on when to seek professional veterinary care is included.
