Customer Reviews & Comments
This is by far the most comprehensive book for dog owners on the topics of Cushing's Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, and Pancreatitis that I have ever seen! Ms. Levin's professional background as a Registered Nurse with experience in endocrinology has enabled her to explain the illnesses in clear detail, and to educate owners on how they can better care for their dogs at home. This book covers much more than any vet could during an office visit, in language that is compassionate, supportive, and helpful. Her detailed discussion of various diet options, including commercial dog food, home-cooked, and fresh raw diets, displays her wealth of knowledge on the connection between diet and health. Her carefully worded and illustrated instructions on measuring blood glucose levels at home and giving insulin injections will help even the most nervous owner learn to care for a diabetic dog. I wish this book had been available when my beloved Boston Terrier, Halley, was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease 5 years ago. But having read it now, I feel well-prepared to care for another dog with one of these illnesses, if the need should arise. I hope that veterinarians will recognize the value of this book, even if they don't agree with everything Ms. Levin has to say (and some will not), and recommend it to their clients to enable dialog that will lead to better health care for chronically ill dogs. I certainly recommend it to all dog owners, as a good reference for preventing illness as well as coping with illness.
