Abstract

This full-color, practical book provides "concrete" information on support, nursing care, facing and end-of-life care that owners can give to cats that are no longer able to move sufficiently due to aging or illness.
The book is full of heartwarming advice that only a house call veterinarian specializing in home palliative and terminal care can provide.
In addition, specialists provide detailed explanations on how to deal with troublesome behaviors of elderly cats, such as nocturnal meowing and elimination problems, as well as dementia.
There is also "preparedness" information for owners of still-young cats.
With freshly taken how-to photos, scenes of cats fighting illnesses, and plenty of explanatory illustrations, the book is easy to read for busy people.
