Country Vet By Denis Farrier

The life of a country vet can be a hard and frustrating one – the vet often has to wade through muddy fields on cold, dark wither nights to deliver a calf or treat a sick sheep. But the healing of animals can also bring a deep and lasting satisfaction, as Devis Farrier conveys in this unusual book. Country Vet is the distillation of a lifetime’s experience – full of facinating information and amusing anecdotes on a wide variety of animal – from horses and cows to camels and water-buffalo. Denis Farrier also gives his forthright views on such controversial topics as fox-hunting, battery hens and ‘mercy killing’. This book is for all those who love animals and the countryside they live in
