Cats. Be Your Own Veterinarian: How to Provide First Aid to a Cat and Not Miss Signs of Illness

A helpless animal cannot tell about its illnesses, but a sad look and a pitiful meow make the owners of fluffy balls feel anxious and confused. Why does the cat refuse to eat, breathe heavily, or scratch constantly? How to examine a frightened pet and what to do if it was bitten by a snake, insect, dog, or another cat? Can wounds be treated independently, what size should the syringe be, and how to use it correctly? Practicing veterinarian Marina Rudenko provides clear answers to these and many other questions.

In this book you will find:
- features of feline physiology;
- obvious and subtle signs of common diseases;
- contents of the first aid kit, allowable dosages, and instructions for outpatient care;
- methods of assistance for bites, cuts, hypothermia, and heat strokes, as well as first aid for falls from height.

This book is not just a dry retelling of theory; it is based on the rich experience of veterinarian Marina Rudenko. The text is divided into convenient chapters dedicated to the most popular cat diseases and injuries, methods of home diagnosis and treatment. Clear illustrations complement the theoretical descriptions.
