In the memoir Vet Noir, a seasoned veterinarian humorously recounts
stories of animals she treated and the people who loved them.
Robin Truelove Stronk owned her own veterinary practice in
Vermont with her husband for twenty-four years where she often
dealt with clients who expected too much, listened too little,
arrived too late, and sometimes just fainted. With an entertaining
style, Dr. Stronk shares not only her own professional challenges,
but also the unique expectations of the animals' owners. From a New
England dairy farmer who expected her to strip to the waist to
assist his cow with a difficult birth, to the distraught owner who
held her guinea pig up to the telephone so the veterinarian could
hear the noise her pet was making, Dr. Stronk's anecdotes
illuminate the delightful, sometimes tortuous, and very often
amusing relationships between a pet, its owner, and the
veterinarian.
Vet Noir provides a light-hearted glimpse into the world of
veterinary medicine where animals are unconditionally loved and the
people are kind beyond measure, dedicated, and splendidly
appreciative-mostly when they are not being quirky, infuriating,
and more often than not, unknowingly comical.
