Living With Cancer: A Pet Owner's Resource
This book was written by Veterinarian Dr.
Robin Downing and published by the American Animal Hospital Association in April 2000.
When Dr. Downing had to confront a cancer diagnosis in her dog, Murphy, she found there
was no one source for all the questions she faced. This resulting book is a complete guide
to treatment and care. Written with the positive but realistic view that cancer does not
always mean death, Dr. Downing asks many questions confronted by pet owners and answers
them in a comprehensive and caring manner.
Why
is Cancer Killing Our Pets?: How You Can Protect and Treat Your Animal Companion
This book was written by Deborah Straw &
Gary Kowalski and is due to be published by Inner Traditions International, Ltd. in
November 2000. This book looks at environmental, dietary, and lifestyle-related causes of
cancer in pets. And, it assesses several treatments -- both alternative and conventional,
from chemotherapy and laser surgery to herbal therapy and acupuncture. Readers will
discover environmental, dietetic, and vaccine-related culprits that may be causing cancer
in their pets, and what preventive measures can be taken. There is also information about
both caring for a sick animal and grieving his or her loss.
Pets
at Risk: From Allergies to Cancer, Remedies for an Unsuspected Epidemic [The Breakthrough
Endocrine-Immune Balance Program]
This book was written by veterinarian, Dr.
Alfred J. Plechner, with Martin Zucker, and is to be published by New Sage Press in
September 2003. Dr. Plechner has identified an unrecognized endocrine-immune disturbance
as a major cause of multiple disorders in dogs and cats. These disorders include
allergies, epilepsy, viral diseases, inflammatory bowel, autoimmunity, cancer and more. In
this new book, the authors explain Dr. Plechners break-through clinical
discoveries and his program for successfully treating a wide range of health problems.
The
Angell Memorial Animal Hospital Book of Wellness and Preventive Care for Dogs
This book was written by Darlene Arden, Gus Thornton and Douglas
Brum (Editor). It was published in December 2002 by McGraw-Hill/Contemporary Books.
Arden is an animal journalist, author, lecturer, and host of her own cable show, and was
assisted by specialists associated with the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital, Boston,
Mass., in creating this book. Too often dog owners wait until a pet is struck with an
illness to seek out veterinary advice. The importance of implementing a program that
prevents illness from occurring is key to a happy and healthy pet. Topics covered include:
Dentistry, grooming, and nutrition; Emergencies, surgery, first aid, and vaccinations;
Training and behavior; and, Caring for middle-aged and advanced-aged dogs. Angell's unique
preventive care handouts and brochure pages (offered for the first time to the general
public) are also included. Now, through this book, readers and their veterinarians can
create a preventive care program that mimics Angell's to fit the individual dog and
lifestyle.

The Last Chance
Dog and Other True Stories of Holistic Animal Healing
This book was written by Donna Kelleher and was published in
February 2003 by Scribner. Readers will be inspired by this instructive collection of
stories about holistic veterinary medicine. Kelleher, a veterinarian who received her
original training in traditional Western medicine, explains how she came to realize that
there was a more "compassionate way to heal animals." She cleverly combines true
stories of holistic healing with practical explanations of the underlying theories and
practice. The result is a book that works on many levels: as an entertaining read, a crash
course in acupuncture, chiropractic and herbal medicine and a testament to the will and
spirit of the animals Kelleher works with.

Without
Regret: A Handbook for Owners of Canine Amputees
This book was written by Susan Neal and was published in July 2002 by Doral
Publishing. Susan Neal has been involved in nearly all aspects of animal care for more
than twenty-five years, including breeding, training, showing, grooming, teaching, rescue,
veterinary care, volunteering, and business management. She currently owns the VIP Pet
Care Center in Francestown, N.H. The owner of a canine amputee, she seeks to tell the
story of her experience--and the experiences of others--with these special animals. The
author writes -- "So, what can you do with a three-legged dog? We must remember that
dogs are not humans. Though they may exist on the same planet that we do, dogs live in a
vastly different world. They are not affected by the emotional baggage that we carry. A
dog's quality of life, his ability to function as Nature intended, and his desire to
perform the work and activities that he loves and for which he may be born and bred, will
be almost completely unaffected by his amputation."
