Old Vets (Country Tales S.) - Softcover
From the farmer for whom animals are a way of life, to the family whose adored pet suddenly falls ill, all who live in the country have at times had to place their trust in the vet s specialist knowledge. The rich tapestry of tales related here by vets from as far afield as Scotland and Devon show' that drama and heartache are part of their w'orking lives; there isn t one wrho cannot recall a tale of dashed hopes and sadness, but there are plenty of good-humoured moments and chaotic experiences! There is wisdom, too from an older generation of men and women wrho have spent their lives in what many wmuld consider to be a truly rural age, revealing tips and remedies passed down from father to son.
