Anaesthetising a fish, x-raying a frog and hospitalising a walrus
are all in a day’s work for the world’s wildest veterinarian.
Travelling from the rainforests of Sierra Leone to the jungles of
Borneo, Romain Pizzi has caught, anaesthetised, diagnosed, operated
on, medicated, and then released some of the world's most
endangered wild animals. From disease testing Polynesian snails to
keyhole surgery in Sumatran orangutans; from endoscopy in sharks to
ultrasound on a chimpanzee. Sometimes this is high tech work, such
as the first robotic surgery in a tiger, or giant panda cloning
attempts. Sometimes the situations are more primitive, from
anaesthetising a bear with a bicycle pump, old plumbing tubes and a
plank, to operating on a vulture using an old metal spoon. In
Exotic Vetting, Romain recalls his many interesting patients, while
taking readers on a tour of the challenges of treating the
world’s amazing spectrum of wild animal species.
