About this ebook
Jonathan Cranston is no ordinary vet. In addition to his day job in the Gloucestershire countryside treating cows, dogs, pigs and cats, he's also worked with an astonishing range of species around the world, including crocodiles, rhinos and pandas. In this charming collection he introduces us to some of his favourite patients, ranging from beloved family pets through to magnificent creatures of the wild.
Whether microchipping armadillos, anaesthetising giraffes or birthing a calf, Jonathan's love for his work and the entire animal kingdom is infectious. From the preposterous (castrating a sugar glider) to the poignant (encountering victims of rhino poaching), the stories in The Travelling Vet will delight and enthral every animal lover.

Reviews for The Travelling Vet
Rating: 4.250000125 out of 5 stars
4.5/5
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very comprehensive insight into the work of a travelling vet. Informative - narrative a bit dry but on the whole useful reading especially for other vets to read or their assistants etc. Zookeepers would also enjoy it - anyone interested in animals and their welfare. Mainly based in the UK and Africa.
