Pet Lovers Will Delight in this Heartwarming Insider’s Look at Life in an Animal Sickbay.

Product Description
A book guaranteed to touch anyone who has ever had a beloved pet… 
 
   From instant New York Times epic, Dr. Nick Trout comes another touching and heartfelt tale from the front lines of veterinary medicine—the tale of two dogs who forever changed the way he plotting about life, death, fate and like.

   Helen is an older cocker spaniel found neglected and abandoned in a restaurant parking lot one rainy night.  Despite her mangy shape up and terrible smell, Ben and Eileen fall in like with the pitiful creature and choose to take her in.  But just as Helen is rescued from a sad life on the streets and enveloped in a loving home with all the creature comforts an ancient dog may possibly question for, a tumor is exposed and she’s given a devastating prognosis.  All Ben and Eileen want is for Helen to beat the odds and survive for one more summer so that she can have one opportunity to swim in the ocean on the family’s annual trip to Prince Edward Island.  In small, they want a miracle.

   Meanwhile, fourteen-month-ancient minuscule pinscher Cleo keeps breaking one leg after another which devastates her poor owner, Sandi.  Even as Cleo is visiting Sandi’s daughter, Sonja, in Bermuda, she succumbs to yet another break.  Distraught that the injury happened on her watch, Sonja makes a plot to glide Cleo to Boston to get the specialist care she needs before Sandi even finds out.  Enter Dr. Trout who presides over what should be a honestly routine surgery.   What happens next forever links two families, their dogs and a beloved veterinarian and teaches them all a lesson about grace that resonates to this day. 

   Like is the Best Medicine immerses you in the right life drama of beloved pets whose lives hang in the balance.  Every page underscores the profound bond we have with the animals in our lives and the incredible responsibility Nick carries as their healer.  Certainly Dr. Trout has an impressive array of fancy equipment, training and skills at his disposable, but his most vital tool (as he persuasively illustrates here) is a fundamental belief in the power of hope, humility, and grace.  

   Wry, charming, and intensely affecting, Like is the Best Medicine is a one of a kind tale only the winsome Dr. Trout may possibly deliver and is destined to become a favorite for animal lovers.Amazon.com Review
Lisa Scottoline Reviews Like is the Best Medicine

Lisa Scottoline is the New York Times bestselling author of Why My Third Spouse Will Be a Dog, Lady Killer, Look Again, and Reckon Twice. Read her guest review of Like is the Best Medicine:

A link of years ago, at the Spring Book and Author Luncheon in Charleston, South Carolina, I met a veterinarian, Nick Trout, who was there to talk about his first book, Tell Me Where It Hurts. We got to talking, not least because I am a dog nut (two Goldens, a Corgi and two King Charles Cavaliers), and I reckoned, no harm in trying to eek out some free veterinary advice, especially about my beloved Retriever Lucy. Lucy had passed away only a few days earlier and I was haunted by a feeling that I may possibly have done more, that I wasn’t able to physically be with her, to hold her, connect with her and ease her into the next life in the end. Nick hardly knew me but I may possibly tell he got it, understood what it means to have an animal in your life and how we pet owners struggle with the burden of loss when we are left behind to pick up the pieces. On the plane home I read his book, loved, loved, loved it, and ordered him to write more.

Thankfully, he has, and in Like is the Best Medicine, Nick radiates the exact same sensitivity, empathy, and understanding of loss that I felt the day I met him. The book features his brand humor, with amusing tales pulled from the examination rooms and operating suites of one of the top veterinary hospitals in the people, but at its heart is the right tale of two dogs that you cannot help but fall in like with and root for–a Min Pin puppy named Cleo and a geriatric Cocker Spaniel named Helen. The tales of these two dogs symbolize for all of us pet people just so what it means to like an animal–and it’s so fascinating to get the view from the other side of table. I don’t want to give too much away, but I’ll say this: as someone who knows a thing or two about bringing up the rear a cherished animal, I found the tale surprising and comforting. It reminded me once again that the universe works in mysterious, rich, and wonderful ways.

This book, too, is rich and wonderful, and you should read it. –Lisa Scottoline

Open the front cover and the first two pages you see control the Index of Signs and Symptoms, from Abdomen (awkward, swollen, distended, and tucked up) to Consequence loss, Wheezing, and Whining (continual). There’s a comprehensive index in back, of course, running the gamut from Abortion to Zinc-Responsive Dermatosis, which is all very helpful, but when your pooch is in pain, it’s fantastic to be able to turn, with the minimum of folderol, to the page that says to relax, it’s nothing a bit of extra grooming won’t fix, or alternatively to hightail it over to the vet sickbay. It’s a wonderful reference for any dog owner, with chapters on emergencies (such as burns, dehydration, and poisoning), as well as worms, infectious diseases, skin care, and canine eyes, ears, and nose. There are chapters on the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems, the nervous, musculoskeletal, and urinary systems, plus dog sex, whelping, puppy pediatrics, geriatrics, and chapters on cancers and medications. In small, it covers every health dimension a dog owner might want to know more about, identifies the possible causes, helps you determine the severity of the shape up, and indicates what treatments or actions to take to best insure your dog’s excellent health. –Stephanie Gold

As an accomplished doctor of veterinary medicine, Martin Goldstein is well respected for his 25 years worth of experience in the field–experience he effectively utilizes in conjunction with his expertise in holistic medicine in his new book, The Nature of Animal Healing: The Path to Your Pet’s Health, Happiness, and Longevity. Goldstein starts with a broad explanation of the origins of diseases in pets, then moves on to taking action hostile to those diseases, not only offering thorough discussions of specific ailments–including cancer, allergies, and arthritis–and the holistic medicines available to help in the healing administer, but also speaking to the “dubious legacy of vaccines” as well as the questionable quality of pet food. Finally, Goldstein turns his attention to the spiritual realm, addressing both the bonds that we have with our pets–and how those bonds aid in preventing and fighting our pets’ health problems–as well as dealing with the death of a beloved pet. Goldstein’s expert advice, inclusion of inspiring real-life cases, and thorough resource “compendium of holistic books, newsletters, Web sites, veterinarians, and associations” make this book a valuable addition to any pet owner’s library. –Julia King
