Product Description
Vet Among the Pigeons continues the story of veterinary surgeon Gillian Hick's escapades among the animal population. Although by now, not such a green graduate, the animals and their owners keep her challenged in a way never described in the text books. While based in a mixed animal practice in Wicklow, Gillian also travels regularly to inner city Dublin to work in the Bluecross animal welfare clinic but finds that sometimes the two lives are hard to combine. From dairy cattle to turkey cocks, from lofty equines to the not so lofty, from six foot snakes to snuffling hedgehogs, Gillian encounters it all as she struggles to improve her own skills and justify her place in the veterinary profession, along with the help of an ever expanding young family of her own.

Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful follow up to "Vet on the loose" I found the book very easy to read and Gillian has a wonderful writing style. It give both a "lead you by the hand"insight not only as life as a Vet, but also as a family women. The book made me laugh out loud-hilarious in places. Great read or gift for all interested in "real life" stories. I have read all Mike Pannett's books which in fact brought my attention to "Vet on the loose" I hope for a 3rd.....
Format:Paperback
A good read but didn't contain as much humour as I had hoped for. In fact, it was quite dark in places.
Format:Paperback
This book makes great reading and is so funny. When you start reading you will not put it down until finished
