Vet in the Country

I love my job (well not all the time - it can have its down side). It has been hugely rewarding... I would not wish to be known as anything other than a hard working and successful veterinary surgeon.

From the Borders of Scotland to the Norfolk Fens, Russell Lyon, author of The Quest for the Original Horse Whisperers, shares his lifetime’s experiences as a country vet. From midnight call-outs to cows giving birth on the roof, Vet in the Country is full of memorable anecdotes and observations drawn from Russell’s nearly forty years in the field as a vet in rural Britain.

Describing how his early years on a Scottish farm led to his career in veterinary medicine, Russell uses warmth and humour to share his love of animals and convey to the reader the many trials and tribulations he has experienced as a vet. From his first day on the job being taught how to lasso an oil drum, to his thoughts on current veterinary trends and farming practices, Russell Lyon's Vet in the Country is an entertaining and absorbing memoir from an established and respected countryside vet.
