Vet Confidential – An Insider’s Guide to Protecting Your Pet’s Health is a must have for every pet parent’s library. Written by an experienced and highly respected authority in the veterinary world, this book is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know to ensure high-quality health care for your furry family members.
While much progress has been made in veterinary medicine, there is still a wide disparity in the level of care provided for pets, and choosing a veterinarian can be a daunting proposition. Without knowing what to look for, pet owners may unknowingly wind up with substandard care. Dr. Murray presents thorough information on a variety of topics, such as
- how to choose a veterinarian
- what to look for during your pet’s exam
- when it’s time to seek a specialist
- how to make sure your pet is properly monitored and protected during anesthetic procedures
- proper pain management for your pet
- the lowdown on vaccinations
- the growing realm of alternative veterinary medicine
- the latest pet insurance plans
I was particularly impressed with the chapter on the use and misuse of steroid medications. This is one of the most notorious issues in the practice of conventional veterinary medicine, and many veterinarians are frustrated by what they feel is a misuse of this drug by some in the profession. Dr. Murray looks at the issues surrounding steroids one by one, and explains why these drugs need to be used judiciously.
Filled with solid information and a variety of check lists and work sheets to help the reader put the information in the book to practical use, this book will help pet parents become knowledgeable and effective advocates for their pet’s health.
