The management of a pet's weight and nutritional guidance is often the
responsibility of the vet nurse in veterinary practice. The Management
of Pet Obesity provides the vet nurse with the information needed on
obesity-related topics for small animals, exotic animals and pet birds.
The causes and incidence of obesity are covered, along with nutritional
requirements of a range of animals, body condition scoring and
assessment, co-morbidities such as diabetes, and an independent overview
of feeding options, and species-specific guidance.
The Management of Pet Obesity is ideal for veterinary nurses, student
veterinary nurses and animal nutritionists who approach the complex
topic of pet obesity.
