"Rat Health Care"
By Debbie Ducommun
 |
15th edition
The Rat Fan Club publishes "Rat Health Care", a 50 page booklet written by club founder Debbie "The Rat Lady" Ducommun. "Rat Health Care" covers all aspects of rat health, from general care to the prevention, causes and treatments for common rat diseases. It includes a handy symptom guide that will help diagnose the probable cause of most symptoms, and flow charts to assist your vet with treatment of common illnesses. "Rat Health Care" is based
on research, The Rat Lady's over 25 years of personal experience, and the experiences
of numerous Rat Fan Club members. It is the most accurate, up to
date and complete source of information on companion rat health care available.
It is recommended for both rat owners and veterinarians. |

Index and Symptom Guide (back cover)
We highly recommend this booklet, and if it saves you just one visit to the vet, it will pay for itself many times over. "Rat Health Care" is currently in it's 15th edition and is updated annually.
