Eine zunehmende Anzahl von Haustieren wird zuvor nicht in Erwägung gezogenen chirugischen Eingriffen unterzogen und überleben so Krankheiten, welche in der Vergangenheit sonst rasch tödlich verlaufen würden. Dieses neue Handbuch ist für das ganze tierärztliche Behandlungspersonal bestimmt und nimmt auf seine Fertigkeiten Bezug, um Patienten nach chirurgischen Eingriffen, Verletzungen oder Störungen zur vollständigen Genesung zu verhelfen und jene Beschwerden wirkungsvoll zu behandeln, die die Lebensqualität eines Tierlebens beeinträchtigen können. Ein fallbezogener Ansatz zeigt auf, wie die Prinzipien von klinischer Ernährung, Schmerzmanagement, körperliche Rehabilitationsmaßnahmen und Pflege auf diese herausfordernden Patienten angewendet werden können.

Companion animals are undergoing previously uncontemplated treatments and surviving what would once have been rapidly fatal conditions. This Manual is aimed at the whole veterinary team, drawing on all their skills to help patients achieve as full a function and quality of life as possible after surgery, trauma or disease, and to manage chronic conditions effectively for the benefit of animal, owner and the practice team.

Part One discusses the principles of rehabilitation, supportive and palliative care. The science behind pain and its management, clinical nutrition and physical therapies is explored, and clinical applications reviewed with reference to published evidence of efficacy and/or effectiveness.

In Part Two, this truly innovative Manual presents a collection of Case Studies across a range of canine and feline patients - from discospondylitis to glaucoma in dogs and from triaditis to leg amputation in cats. The following are considered for every case, with expert assessment from the contributors to Part One of the book:

Acute and chronic pain management
Fear, stress and conflict concerns
Nutritional requirements
Physiotherapy
Hydrotherapy
Acupuncture
Nursing and supportive care
Owner advice and homecare recommendations
