At last, a canine first aid book that helps you make the right decisions-fast. It's like having a veterinarian on call. Do you need to call your vet? What should you do until you can get your dog to the hospital? If veterinarian assistance is not required, how do you handle the illness or injury? It's all here, in Hands-On Dog Care. Three easy-to-use sections work together to give you all the tools you'll need to handle everything from kennel cough to lack of appetite. Part I: In action plans, you'll be asked a series of questions based on symptoms you observe, and given specific instructions based on your answers. Part II: From Part 1, you'll be referred to this section, where you'll get visual, step-by-step instructions for how to perform the first-aid skills necessary to help your dog until you can get him to the vet, or as detailed home treatment instructions. Part III: In the Glossary, you'll find detailed descriptions of conditions and terms used in Parts I and II.
