Ivor Smith
2008, paperback, 224 pages

This heart warming account of veterinary life traces Ivor Smith's early days as a student through to setting up his own practice in the Cotswolds, recounting almost forty years in the profession.

Following in the Herriot traditions of veterinary humour, Ivor's memories of being a vet include hilarious incidents, colourful characters and engaging patients.

From calving cows during cold Spring nights, handling ferocious rabbits to setting up home in a mouse infested cottage and winning over farmers, Ivor shares his respect for animals and the joy of the beautiful Cotswold countryside.
