Exciting adventures of an Irish vet.

Whether she's neutering horses in Dublin or dehorning cattle in the Wicklow countryside, rescuing injured cats from vandals or dealing with drugged guard dogs, the humor never leaves vet Gillian Hick. And it is her relentless sense of humor that is reflected in this book, which is a kind of record of the challenging situations she encounters at work as a newly graduated veterinarian. Not only do they have to help the animals from their ailments, but they also have to deal with "human" pitfalls in the form of matchmaking mothers or chauvinistic farmers, not to mention the guys who keep asking, "Where's the real vet?"

Packed with humor and energy, a collection of stories of one intrepid young vet in Ireland.
