Caring for a cat with lower urinary tract disease(3rd edition, 2014, £12.99)by Dr. Sarah Caney and Professor Danièlle Gunn-Moore

This 64 page book is an essential resource for all owners caring for a cat with feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). Diagnosis and management of FLUTD is covered in detail with emphasis on successful long-term treatment of feline idiopathic cystitis, the most common cause of FLUTD. There is plenty of practical advice for owners of affected cats and a case report of successful management.

‘Caring for a cat with lower urinary tract disease’ has been written as an information source and support tool primarily aimed at owners whose cats have been diagnosed with this condition. It is also designed to be a resource for student vets, veterinary nurses and technicians. The book explains what causes lower urinary tract disease, how this is diagnosed and treated, and how future relapses can be prevented. The emotional aspects of coping with this condition are discussed and there is practical advice on all aspects of care. The book contains a case report illustrating successful management and a detailed glossary of terms used by vets.

‘… the language is very accessible and an easy-to-follow glossary of terminology enables owners with no medical knowledge to understand the condition. The depth of the information makes it equally useful for veterinary nurses, cattery staff, breeders and re-homing charities.

This book also emphasises the need for practical lifestyle changes at home to manage FLUTD and gives excellent advice on subjects such as reducing stress in a multi-cat household and encouraging cats to drink.

FLUTD is a complicated subject for owners to fully appreciate so it is wonderful, at last, to have one book that contains all the necessary information that can be recommended to everyone!’

Dr Sarah Caney, a recognized expert in feline medicine, has done an outstanding job demystifying this condition.

While knowledgeable and compassionate, she is encouraging while recognizing that all recommended treatments may not be feasible for you or your kitty. Whether you are seeking information or reassurance, this book is a GPS to help you navigate this unfamiliar territory.’

Andrea Harvey BVSc DSAM(Feline) DipECVIM-CA MRCVS, RCVS Recognised Specialist in Feline Medicine, European Veterinary Specialist in Internal Medicine’

‘Sarah Caney has produced another fantastic book to help cat owners – this time, for those whose cat has recently been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. The book is written in gentle, flowing prose, with information that is almost at a veterinary level in terms of depth of understanding. The information is explained so clearly and expressed so simply that it is within the grasp of the average owner. Many vets will take the opportunity of giving this text to owners with recently diagnosed hyperthyroidism, to help them play a more active role in deciding the treatment options for their cat. I cannot recommend this book too highly – owners will get a lot out of it, nurses will learn quite a bit, and even experienced feline clinicians will find out some new ways of thinking about how to treat individual patients.’

“All the evidence points to there being an obesity epidemic in owned cats throughout the world. It is therefore very timely that Andrea Harvey and Samantha Taylor have written a wonderfully lucid book to help cat owners remedy this situation. Although the title is about dealing with the overweight cat, the book is much more than that – it’s about educating owners on how to keep cats lithe and healthy, by strategies aimed to increase their level of activity and enriching their environment, while cutting back on the calories. The book is truly holistic – considering all aspects of feline health and lifestyle, to guide owners towards developing a strategy for reducing feline adiposity, while simultaneously improving nutrition, health and well bring. Adverse health repercussions of obesity, such as diabetes and arthritis are covered also. The book is easy to read and should prove especially useful to busy veterinarians, who may not have enough time to deal with all aspects of diet and exercise in the obese cat during a normal evening visit. This book should greatly reinforce what they tell owners in the consultation room, and help them make the most of the latest range of weight reduction diets.”

Professor Richard Malik, DVSc DipVetAn MVetClinStud PhD FACVSc FASM, Valentine Charlton Feline Specialist, University of Sydney, Australia

“Andrea Harvey and Samantha Taylor have addressed the increasing problem of obesity in this comprehensive guide for all owners of overweight cats. They cover all the ‘need to know’ information about the health implications, how cats eat naturally and the owner’s role in

their pet’s weight loss programme. This book is easy to read and contains some great practical tips. The case histories are informative and it’s always good to know that others have experienced the same issues with their pets! An excellent read and great addition to the Cat Professional series.”Vicky Halls – Member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Councellors and author of
