THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER It has been 30 years since Noel
Fitzpatrick graduated as a veterinary surgeon, and that 22-year-old
from Ballyfin, Ireland, is now one of the leading veterinary
surgeons in the world. The journey to that point has seen Noel
treat thousands of animals - many of whom were thought to be beyond
help - animals that have changed his life, and the lives of those
around them, for the better. If the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller
Listening to the Animals was about Noel's path to becoming The
Supervet, then How Animals Saved My Life is about what it's like to
actually be The Supervet. Noel shares the moving and often funny
stories of the animals he's treated and the unique 'animal people'
he has met along the way. He reflects on the valuable lessons of
Integrity, Care, Love and Hope that they have taught him - lessons
that have sustained him through the unbelievable highs and crushing
lows of a profession where lives are quite literally at stake. As
Noel explores what makes us connect with animals so deeply, we meet
Peanut, the world's first cat with two front bionic limbs;
eight-year-old therapy dachschund Olive; Odin, a gorgeous
five-year-old Dobermann, who would prove to be one of Noel's most
challenging cases - and of course his beloved companions Ricochet,
the Maine Coon, and Keira, the scruffy Border terrier who is always
by his side.
You don't have to be a veterinarian to prevent and treat many of
the problems that might afflict your four-legged friend. Robert L.
Ridgway, a doctor of veterinary medicine, helps you identify
conditions and use home remedies and treatments to treat dogs and
cats. Written in everyday language, this guide can help you spot
and treat skin infections in minimally invasive ways; help your pet
battle and beat heartworms and other parasites; encourage good
nutrition and address eating problems; and help your pet overcome
stomach problems, gas, and other ailments. While the guide focuses
on tackling health problems, it can also help you improve your
pet's behavior, avoid common household substances that can harm
your pet, and weigh complicated issues involved with end-of-life
care and decision making. This handbook covers more than 150
different subjects and includes dosage instructions based on a
pet's weight so you can act with confidence. While veterinarians
serve an important role, you can fix many problems on your own when
you know The Truth about Dog and Cat Treatments and Anomalies.
THE INSTANT NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER In this inspiring,
uplifting and heart-warming memoir, world-renowned veterinary
surgeon Professor Noel Fitzpatrick shares some of the most personal
and powerful tales ever from his life as The Supervet. Picking up
from where the Sunday Times bestselling How Animals Saved My Life
left off, Noel shares the moving, heart-warming and often
surprising stories of the animals that he has treated in his
remarkable career. As he explores how our relationships with
animals can bring out the best in each of us, we meet some of the
wonderful animals he has tried to help, the families who love them
and the deeply personal challenges Noel has faced along the way. It
is animals like these who have taught Noel the valuable lessons of
Love, Hope and Faith - lessons that have sustained him in his life
beyond being the Supervet. This is the remarkable story of one man
and the animals he has saved, animals who have - in turn - saved
him.
