Overview
Written in consultation with canine handlers from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and staff from the American Academy on Veterinary Disaster Medicine and the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, Rescuing Rover 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, detailed and beautifully rendered full-color illustrations, and a convenient format, this book covers such medical procedures as bandaging an ear, splinting a leg, removing foreign objects from the eyes, and constructing a makeshift muzzle. The book also provides an invaluable section on disasters. Step-by-step instructions are provided to create a disaster-preparedness plan taking into account your Rover's needs. Topics covered include evacuation schemes, shelter options, training requirements, and fitness facts. Creating and maintaining a disaster kit and disaster checklist are discussed thoroughly.
