Humans have a responsibility to look after the animals in their care - do you know what to look for, and what to do when your animal is sick?

This comprehensive guide covers a range of common illnesses in animals, including signs and symptoms, how to manage them, and prevention techniques as well as an alphabetical guide for some common illnesses found in a range of domestic and agricultural animals.

"For the past 10,000 years, people all over the world have domesticated animals for various purposes. Some animals such as dogs and cats were domesticated as pets to provide company to humans. Livestock animals such as cattle and sheep were kept to provide products such as meat, wool or milk, or kept as working animals. No matter what the reason, animals and humans have been connected over an extended period of time.
