MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This heart-warming account of veterinary life traces Ivor Smith's early days as a student at university through to setting up his own practice in the Cotswolds, recounting a memorable 40 years in the profession. Following in the Herriot tradition of veterinary humour, Ivor's memories of life as a vet in a very mixed practice include hilarious incidents, colourful local characters and engaging patients. From calving cows in the middle of cold Spring nights, handling ferocious gerbils and operating on lame greyhounds, to setting up home in a mouse-infested farmhouse, winning over farmers and estate managers alike, and even finding a new-born baby on his doorstep, Ivor shares his respect for animals and joy of the beautiful Cotswold countryside in this entertaining and absorbing read. "Memories of a Cotswold Vet" is a highly readable and light-hearted account of country life which is sure to appeal to animal lovers and all who know the Cotswolds.
