Complete Care for Your Aging Cat
关于此电子书
Advances in veterinary medicine have nearly tripled how long cats live. But old cats have special health and emotional needs, and require senior cat food, and aging cat medical care. A longer life means old cats suffer age-related conditions such as cat kidney failure, kitty diabetes, and feline arthritis, all of which can be successfully managed with your loving assistance.
