Pets In A Pickle
Foreword by Jim Wight son of James Herriot and author of The Real James Herriot James Herriot became through his writing the most famous veterinarian in the world. Two things to me stand out as integral to his worldwide success as an author: his books are not just about vets treating animals they are about people and he writes about others not just himself. Malcolm Welshman's book Pets in a Pickle is too not just a collection of animals stories. The author paints a vivid picture of many fascinating characters - human and animal - resulting in a most enjoyable and amusing read. The veterinary profession is one enriched by the most interesting and challenging situations wherein the veterinary surgeon is confronted by a variety of unforgettable characters. MalcolmWelshman's experiences as a
young veterinary surgeon recounted in a most readable way illustrate this very well. It is often said that vets have little interest in books or TV programmes about other members of their profession. It is regarded as 'old hat' revealing nothing new. I did not find this to be the case with this book. The author describes his early life in practice in a most entertaining way. The book is extremely easy to read and the text gives the reader a most enjoyable insight into the unpredictable but fascinating life of the veterinary surgeon. I wish this book every success. _____________________________________________________________________ When Paul Mitchell arrives for his first day's work at Prospect House Veterinary Hospital he never expects this...Oh his very first day he is bitten by a
feisty hamster...but this is a mere prelude to a cavalcade of hilarious - and often painful - encounters with fish flesh and fowl. From stalking a feral cat to rescuing a cow stuck in a gravel pit life is never short of animal adventures for the newly qualified vet. On top of treating all manner of creatures at the practice Paul and his girlfriend Lucy also nurse a host of waifs and strays back to health at their home. Besides six budgerigars two love birds a hoard of guinea pigs and three tabby cats their menagerie includes Gertie the Goose whose talent for house security saves her from the Christmas Day table and Nelson their lovable - and stone deaf - Jack Russell.
