Abstract
Knowledge about cats with hyperthyroidism is increasing, meaning that more information is available to owners and carers. The Veterinary Nurse board member, Stacey Crompton, has taken a look at Sarah Caney's revised book, Caring for a cat with hyperthyroidism.
After the huge success of Sarah Caney's other published books entitled Caring for a cat with chronic kidney disease and Caring for a cat with lower urinary tract disease both published by Cat Professional, Sarah has written a book dedicated to Caring for a cat with hyperthyroidism. This review looks at the revised version of this book, first published in 2009. The book has been extensively updated and revised to reflect newer diagnostic tests available and new treatments.
This updated addition to her series concentrates on educating owners/clients with cats that have been recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I however would recommend this book for student veterinary surgeons, student veterinary nurses, veterinary nurses and technicians.
The book comprises five sections that include well written easy to read chapters containing important highlighted veterinary terminology, directing the owners to the glossary for simple explanations. Throughout the book there are regular links to further information regarding the discussed topics and recommended useful websites to aid further self study if required.
