Written in consultation with canine handlers from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, staff from the American Academy on Veterinary Disaster Medicine, and the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, this book provides dog owners, handlers, emergency workers, and veterinary medical and technical students with a practical guide for the safe treatment of a dog in extraordinary situations when veterinary help is unavailable. With concise, easy-to-read instructions and colour illustrations, in a convenient format, it covers such medical procedures as bandaging an ear, splinting a leg, removing foreign objects from the eyes, and constructing a makeshift muzzle.
