Caring for a cat with chronic kidney disease (2nd Edition)
Dr Sarah Caney
A 68 page, fully revised and updated illustrated book aimed at cat owners and veterinary professionals, launched January 2012.
Caring for a cat with chronic kidney disease has been written as the perfect information source and support tool for a cat owner whose cat or cats have been diagnosed with kidney disease. It is also designed to be a resource for student vets, veterinary nurses and technicians. The science and emotional aspects of dealing with a diagnosis of kidney disease are addressed. The book is 68 pages long and includes colour photographs illustrating different clinical signs (symptoms) of kidney disease, diagnostic tests and treatments such as a step by step guide to safely and successfully giving pills to a cat. The book explains what a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease means and how best to treat the condition giving your cat the best care and helping it to live as long and full a life as possible. A case study is included to show how treatment can be successful and there is a glossary of terms possibly used by your vet. New sections for this Second Edition include discussion of renal secondary hyperparathyroidism, diagnosing kidney disease before clinical signs become apparent, treating kidney disease in cats that have other medical illnesses and expansion of the sections covering staging of kidney disease and IRIS recommendations for proteinuria, systemic hypertension and phosphate restriction.
