“Caring for a cat with urinary tract disease” is a comprehensive guide that covers signs, symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatment, management and prevention of lower urinary tract disease.
Complicated veterinary procedures are discussed but the language is very accessible and an easy-to-follow glossary of terminology enables owners with no medical knowledge to understand the condition. The depth of the information makes it equally useful for veterinary nurses, cattery staff, breeders and re-homing charities.
This book also emphasises the need for practical lifestyle changes at home to manage FLUTD and gives excellent advice on subjects such as reducing stress in a multi-cat household and encouraging cats to drink.
FLUTD is a complicated subject for owners to fully appreciate so it is wonderful, at last, to have one book that contains all the necessary information that can be recommended to everyone!
Review, ‘UK Vet: The Journal for the Veterinary Surgeon in General Practice’ (Volume 14 No.4, May 2009)
Dr Sarah Caney and Professor Danielle Gunn-Moore have written a book that could literally be life changing for cat owners… there are many practical tips that make life with an affected cat much easier and it is worth having a book in every practice, cattery or rescue centre for this reason alone.
Review, M, UK cat owner
I found it very helpful. A lot I have been told by my vet but having it in print was better as there is only so much you can take in when the vet is explaining things to you, especially when you are stressed and panicking. There were some good tips, too about feeding and stress reduction.
Review, ‘Your Cat’ (Britain’s best selling cat magazine) – August 2009
I can’t recommend anything better than getting hold of a booklet by two of the top experts in this country, Caring for a cat with lower urinary tract disease by Dr Sarah Caney and Professor Danielle Gunn-Moore It offers a great explanation of a complex condition.
Jonnie, owner of Shai
Whenever someone shares the news of a blocked cat I refer them to the Vet Professionals website and book ‘Caring for a cat with lower urinary tract disease’ (which I believe should be handed to every cat owner on diagnosis of FLUTD). Thanks to the book and my very dedicated local vet, I have been able to give my cat Shai a happier and more healthy life. Being able to home-manage him has saved us all much stress. Thanks again for helping me to give my four legged family member an all around better life.
