001. Prologue
Considerable information herein is summarized from Carlson & Giffin, authors of a home veterinarian handbook. I would like to thank them for their informative and accessible information. Any mistakes made in the summaries are my responsibility and not Carlson & Giffin's. I believe that I am within copyright laws by using summarizations (no direct quoting, except for the toxic plants section), my own organization of the material, and precise acknowledgement where relevant.
This article is presented for informative purposes only, and should NOT be used to "replace" normal veterinary care. Rather, the information included is intended to allow you
* to be aware of potential problems,
* to be able to prevent some of these problems, and
* to know when to take your dog in and what to tell your vet.
