Most of all, she gives you hope. All the information you need is in this book which, comprehensive and detailed though it is, is easily accessible through being written in lay-person's language. Helen has built up a huge following on her website thanks to her sympathetic and practical assistance to catlovers faced with this illness. Her years of expertise are here presented in book form, providing an indispensable and permanent guide to caregivers everywhere.
This book is fantastic - so comprehensive! I started using Helen Fitzsimons' website back in March 2012 when my cat, Charlie, was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Her website was what saved my sanity and gave me the courage to keep going when I thought we were at the end. We weren't. It's now almost six months later and Charlie is happy, healthy, and stable. The information provided by Helen was a big part of that. Having the information from the website in book form is invaluable. I'm thrilled to have it.
This book is a life-saver. A CKD encyclopedia to turn to as the disease progresses. It's packed with practical information and truly helps you feel a little more in control, a little less at the mercy of the disease. Thank you, Helen!
