The dog owner's veterinary handbook - John Bower

John Bower and David Youngs have written a complete guide to dog care, from the purchase of a puppy and choice of vet to looking after the older dog. The main bulk of the manual comprises an examination of the dog, system by system: the normal structure and function are described, followed by the most common diseases and problems, their symptoms, and treatment. There are also chapters on breeding, infectious diseases, behavioral problems, and accidents and emergencies. Written in plain language by two experienced veterinary surgeons who specialize in canine medical problems, this fully illustrated and comprehensive manual is the essential reference book for all dog owners.
