PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
A young vet’s experiences with cows and camels
Description
By the time Marcus Taylor graduated from veterinary school at age 23, a sheep, a cow, a hawk, innumerable dogs, cats, parrots and even a fish had locked their mandibles onto his flesh. Each bite only intrigued him further. From his first entanglement with a cow in ketosis in Canterbury to a beagle in heart failure in Newfoundland, and all manner of adventures and heartbreak in between, this memoir of the early career of a young New Zealand vet is both heartwarming and hilarious.
Critic Reviews
'Taylor's steadfast dedication to his profession transforms the book from just another vet story into a distinctly rewarding experience' — Chris Moore, New Zealand Listener
‘A very engaging spinner of yarns’ — Lyn Potter, NZ Booklovers
