Description:


This new addition to the BSAVA Foundation Manual series serves
to provide an easily accessible source of practical advice on the
management of common feline problems encountered in first-opinion
practice. It begins with an introduction to important general
issues in effective feline practice, including handling techniques,
principles of examination and how to ensure a cat-friendly
practice. Gold-standard preventive healthcare guidelines focusing
on a life-stage approach and a discussion on therapeutics including
antibiotic use, analgesia and anaesthesia follow. The main part of
the Manual comprises problem-oriented sections that focus on the
investigation and initial management of, first, emergencies and
then other common presentations such as alopecia, polydipsia and
seizures. The final systems-based section gives more detailed
information on the management of the disorders commonly seen in

A unique feature of this Manual are the many ?Quick
Reference Guides? (QRGs) provided throughout , which present
practical techniques and treatments in easy-to-follow step-by-step
guides, with clear colour photographs illustrating each step
whenever possible.
