By Louise Murray, DVM

When it comes to our own medical care, we painstakingly research symptoms and illnesses on the internet or in medical references, and demand to be fully informed by our doctors. The human medical profession is held to stringent standards, and patients and their families are vigilant in judging the care they have received. People need the same access to information on how to get the best possible health care for their pet. In Vet Confidential, readers will finally receive this vital information.

Dr. Louise Murray answers the concerns of real pet owners, who frequently feel lost when their pets become ill, and unsure about where to turn or who to trust. The book gives clear guidance to the pet owner, such as checklists to use when evaluating a veterinary practice, and information on desirable standards of care regarding record keeping, vaccinations, physical examinations, the dispensing of medication, and referral to specialists. It teaches owners to spot potential warning signs, such as abbreviated exams, outdated anesthetic and surgical techniques, insufficient technology, and inattention to pain management. Vet Confidential's mission is to empower pet owners through enlightenment, and consequently, to elevate the current level of care provided to pets.
