A warmhearted, medically authoritative healthcare guide on how to maintain and improve common geriatric cat conditions-and how to honor and cherish the final goodbye.
After a stealthy advance in time, our dearest kitties seem to pounce into their elder years and totter toward their sunny perches. How did their nine lives race past so fast? Can we improve our cats' sands of time, safeguard their comfort, and create more joyful moments-even at the end of their lives?
With more than 15 years of geriatric pet healthcare and veterinary hospice experience, Dr. Mary Gardner provides comprehensive answers and practical tips. You'll discover the latest on the aging process in cats and be better prepared to extend and improve your feline family member's elder years.
Cat parents will learn how to:
- recognize and understand common ailments in aging cats,
- identify and implement supportive care and treatments,
- enhance senior cat home safety and daily activities,
- recognize symptoms that need veterinary attention,
- choose veterinary care that matches your goals of care,
- take home key points from veterinary visits,
- find affordable, high-tech cat care products and resources,
- consider options for veterinary hospice care,
- assess your cat's quality of life,
- consider options for honoring your cat's remains,
- find support for caregiver burden and grief, and
- preserve and cherish your cat's memory.
Sharing up-to-date research propelled by a steady dose of humor, Dr. Gardner teaches pet parents how to manage their cats' elder years to ensure their comfort and grace. Given the loyal/steadfast companionship and affection cats bring into our lives, their nine lives are not enough.
