Customer Rating:
Summary: Life Saver ... Literally!
Comment: I have owned this book for several years and it has literally been a life-saver!
As the one reviewer mentioned, it does not replace the vet - but ...it comes in handy for those emergencies that happen in the middle of the night.
Examples:
In the middle of the night, our dog wanted outside. She got stung by an insect and her nose immediately began swelling - making it difficult for her to breathe. We gave her benadryl and within minutes, she was fine.
My kitten has a severe upper respiratory infection. We have him on antibiotics that the vet gave us, but the poor little guy was having a horrible time trying to breathe. Again, I gave him a little benadryl and diluted some nasal spray and applied some on his nose with a Q-tip. And it has helped!
I have used Pepto Bismal for upset stomachs and Ascripton for arthritis. All of these are listed in the book as being safe ... and they WORK!
Have saved me hundreds of dollars in vet bills ... and most importantly, has helped my pets feel better.
I highly recommend this book!

Summary: great guide a-z
Comment: This book has been nothing but helpful to me. Considering I am a devoted cat slave and regularly take my kitties to the vet this book has helped me immensely on everything (so far) that has been prescribed for my little fur babies. This book is a must for any animal lover
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Ultimate reference that require improvement
Comment: This is a very good and handy reference. However, the author should consider to put all medicine's brand name, scientific name to the index. Otherwise, it is difficult for a layman like me to check.
Customer Rating:
Summary: disappointed
Comment: I was disappointed because the book was described as brand new and arrived with a torn cover.Other than this it was what I ordered.
