Book description
Nursing the Feline Patient
is a comprehensive and accessible clinical manual addressing the unique
nursing needs of cats. Covering all aspects of feline nursing care from
the examination room to the surgical suite, the book highlights the
special considerations for cat patients throughout. Written specifically
