Jonathan Cranston is no ordinary veterinarian. As well as his day job in rural Gloucestershire, where he treats cows, pigs, dogs and cats, he travels all over the world and works with an amazing variety of animals, including crocodiles, rhinos and pandas. In his engaging style, the author introduces some of his patients - from beloved pets to magnificent wild animals. Whether it's microchipping armadillos, anesthetizing giraffes, or giving birth to a calf, Jonathan's love for his work and the entire animal kingdom is contagious. From the bizarre (the castration of a sugar flying squirrel) to the dangerous (an encounter with a poached rhinoceros), the stories in this book will delight and fascinate every animal lover.
