Jonathan Cranston is no ordinary vet. In addition to his day job in theOxfordshire countryside treating cows, dogs, pigs and cats, he's also workedwith an astonishing range of species around the world, including crocodiles,rhinos and pandas. In this charming collection he introduces us to some of hisfavourite patients, ranging from beloved family pets through to magnificentcreatures of the wild.

Whether microchipping armadillos, anaesthetising giraffes or advising themakers of the Jurassic World series on exactly how to operate on avelociraptor, Jonathan's love for his work and the entire animal kingdom isinfectious. 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.
