Good Old Dog: Expert Advice for Keeping Your Aging… von Faculty Of The Cummings School Of Veterinary Medicine At Tufts Univer
Finished this late at night while sitting up with my good old dog who was having some back troubles. This has solid advice, with some interesting facts about canine health I didn't know before. Recommended if you've got a senior pooch.
This was required reading for one of my pet care certification classes. I have to say that while I learned some things, I expected a book used in a class to be a little more involved. Readers with little to no experience who are looking to learn something about elderly dog care will find something new here, but if you are a professional care provider, I'd say use it only as a general reference guide.
I was very lucky that my daughter brought this book home this afternoon. I have been reading through it this evening, and I can say that I really appreciate the information it is offering.
We have a "good old dog," though he is mostly an SOB. He is something like 14 years old, though, and has been in his twilight years for a while now.
This book helped because it talked about some of the typical ailments that older dogs are affected by, such as dental disease, laryngeal paralysis, diabetes, and cushing's disease. Though I have not read it thoroughly yet, the book goes into great detail about heart disease and conditions.
One of the things I really liked are the tips it provided, such as some things we can do around the house to make life a little more comfortable for our dog in his last years.
The book is written by veterinarians, but it sticks to layman's terms, which is helpful to a person like me. I would recommend this book as a resource for anyone who is living with an older dog.… (mehr)

I picked this one up because my boxer is now nine years old and my lab is eight. My boxer seems to develop problems I've never heard of before even though I've been around boxers my whole life, so she keeps things interesting. This book was written by the faculty of the veterinary school at Tufts University and it covers all the health problems that may occur as a dog ages, such as heart disease, types of cancer, joint pain and arthritis. I had no idea that there is a canine version of breast cancer.… (mehr)
