Pet ER : Memoirs of an Animal Doctor
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
With humor and compassion, Dr. Porter tells stories of treating injured and sick animals from cats injured by dogs to rabbits injured by cats, as well as more unusual emergencies: Toby, the cat burned during a spin in the dryer; Oscar, the monkey who created havoc after panicking at the sight of the syringe; and Plop, the cat who was so big he had to walk on his tiptoes so his belly would not drag on the floor. Sometimes there is apathy, sometimes anger over the cost of the emergency care. Sometimes, sadly, there is grief. More often there is worry, then relief, then gratitude. Shining through all these fascinating stories is Dr. Porter's love of his profession and concern for his patients.
