All My Patients Kick and Bite: Favorite Stories from a Vet's Practice

A veterinarian's highly amusing, uplifting, and entertaining follow-up to All My Patients Have Tales. In this second collection by our intrepid vet, Jeff Wells has his work cut out for him when he learns that llamas do not take kindly to having their toenails trimmed, dog owners in the medical field can be a real pain, Scottish Highland cattle stick together and just might run a vet out of their enclosure, and fixing an overly amorous burro often needs to be prioritized. Told with Wells's trademark humor and gentle touch, these and many other heartwarming, heartbreaking, funny and strange stories will give readers a whole new appreciation for those who care for our pets. "This is a wonderfully written book . . . It is filled with what has become [Wells's] trademark humor and gentle touch. Dr. Wells' book is filled with stories that are touching, poignant, and funny, all reflecting his experiences as a dedicated veterinarian. Anyone who has ever been owned by a family pet will love this book." —Tucson Citizen "After reading this warm and compassionate eclectic mix of stories, you're left loving this rural Colorado veterinarian's sense of humor, patience and earthiness. Each of the richly detailed vignettes is intense and engaging while accented with vivid characters and a tough realism, leaving you marveling at the author's commitment and resilient, can-do spirit." —Seattle Kennel Club
