Description
Canine and Feline Geriatric Oncology: Honoring the Human-Animal Bond, Second Edition provides a complete clinical approach to the most common neoplasias in geriatric dogs and cats. It gives the tools needed to diagnose and treat aging pets with cancer and to help clients make the best decisions for themselves and their animals. It also addresses the “what-ifs” that often arise during interactions with clients of aging pets with cancer and helps to determine when a pet should enter the hospice phase. This new edition is fully updated and expanded with new and revised information, including new knowledge on palliative and hospice care and self-care techniques for carers. The ebook approaches the practice of veterinary oncology in geriatric patients with respect to communication, ethics, and philosophy. This is not a “how-to” book; it is written to assist clinicians in decision-making for their patients and in tackling this emotional and often difficult area of veterinary medicine. 500 p.
