This instructional VIDEO (DVD) is like having a veterinarian and an animal technician in your living room with you as they demonstrate a variety of technical procedures on your cat for you. The video was assembled by Dr. Dave to serve as a companion volume to his book "Where There Is No Pet Doctor" but, since a picture is worth a thousand words, it also stands well on its own. Just about any cat owner will find a host of useful information and techniques on this DVD, but it will serve as an indispensable reference source for those cruising aboard boats or RV's or otherwise traveling or living in wilderness or backcountry situations. Covers a variety of procedures actually being done on live cats by a veterinarian and veterinary technicians who demonstrate how to do them. It is about an hour long and is menu-driven. Illustrates the following topics: 1. Restraining Your Cat 2. Cleaning Your Cat's Teeth 3. Trimming Your Cat's Toenails 4. Cutting a Tablet 5. Pilling Your Cat 6. Medicating Your Cat's Ears 7. Routine Ear Cleaning 8. Medicating Your Cat's Eyes 9. Giving SubQ Fluids 10. Giving a SubQ Injection 11. Treating an Abscess 12. Spiking a Fluid Bag 13. Calculating a Drug Dose 14. Giving Insulin 15. Deep Cleaning the Ears 16. Drawing from an Injection Vial
Hopefully you will never need the serious medical information provided here but, should the necessity arise, it is all there in vivid color for you or a non-veterinary professional to follow the techniques. Any cat owner should find the more routine subjects presented to be quite useful.
