Her resulting book provides a resource that leads pet owners through treatment and care.

The book begins with an overview of cancer and how it is diagnosed. Dr. Downing then highlights treatment options and provides a thorough discussion of surgical oncology, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, complementary therapies, as well as nutrition information for the cancer patient.
