How To Inform Yourself of Your Cat's Health

Here's a great reference of how to help your cat stay healthy.

Today with the cost of a vet visit sometimes we wait till last minute to take our precious one to the doctors so if you want to be more informed about your cat's health consider the Cat Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook by Debra Eldredge, DVM, Delbert Carlson, DVM, Liisa Carlson, DVM, and James Giffin, MD.

This book provides complete and understandable information about your cat's anatomy and physiology, as well as preventive health and a variety of diseases that can affect your cat. The authors also discuss geriatric care, genetics, vaccinations, and how to deal with emergencies. It's well worth the $35 cover price.
