- Summary:
- "Veterinary cooperative care is a guidebook to the future of animal handling in the veterinary profession. In recent years, "cooperative care" has increasingly become the buzzword in professional animal care circles. So what is cooperative care? It is simply an approach to working with patients using handling methods and protocols that encourage them to be calm, happy, willing participants in their treatment programs rather than having them struggle (sometimes violently) against the forcible restraint techniques often used to get them to submit to necessary procedures. Your patients and human clients will benefit from cooperative care and of course you and your staff will all benefit from a happier relationship with the animals you care for and about every day"-- Provided by publisher.
