The making of a veterinarian -- The art of veterinary medicine -- The science of veterinary medicine -- Peculiar tales from veterinary practice -- Epilogue: Haiku for my dog.
"Cats, dogs, people - funny and heartbreaking stories from a pet veterinarian. With insight and humor, Dr. Philipp Schott shares tales from the unlikely path he took into his career of veterinary science and anecdotes from his successful small-animal clinic. Dr. Schott brings to his writing the benefit of many years of expertise. Wisdom he imparts on readers includes the best way to give your cat a pill, how to prevent your very handy dog from opening a fridge, and how to handle your fish when it has half-swallowed another. Through these and other experiences, Dr. Schott also learned that veterinary medicine is as much, if not more, about the people as it is the animals. And he will have you laughing and crying as you embark on this journey of discovery with him."-- Provided by publisher.
