The "Cat Medicine" manual is the latest work of BSAVA's writing activity in terms of basic knowledge books for companion animal medicine. This book is an easily accessible source of practical advice related to the management of the most common problems of cats, which the veterinarian faces as a primary care clinician. The first part of the book develops in detail general topics directly related to the practice of medicine in cats, such as restraint techniques, clinical examination, ways of handling the animal, and actions that make the environment friendly for practicing medicine in this particular species. The best ways to prevent diseases are also mentioned, and the recommended therapeutic treatments are discussed. In another section of the book, topics are developed with a clinical problem guide, focusing on the diagnostic approach and the management of common diseases such as alopecia, polydipsia, and epileptic seizures. The third and final part of the book focuses on the analysis of the most common diseases of cats based on the body systems and emphasizes their management. The authors of the individual chapters have been carefully selected based on their experience and approach to these specific diseases in everyday clinical practice.

In this book, the veterinarian can find scientific answers to most of the common problems of cats in practice, address them according to the owner's economic ability, and organize the referral of the animal to a second opinion clinic.

Also, in this book, there is another innovation, that of "quick reference guides" (QRGs), which present practical tips, techniques, and therapeutic regimens in an easily understandable way. Finally, the structure of the content is complemented by numerous tables and photographs.
This is an essential book for new veterinarians, primary care veterinarians, as well as students and nurses/assistants.
