Taylor is an exotic-animal consultant, airily tripping from emergency to crisis to disaster, and this cheery recital of his experiences is a natural selection for the Amory-Herriot constituency. He's worked as a veterinarian in Britain, bowling along the motorway from zoo to zoo, once with a flatulent orang-utan in the next seat, and he's been called to extract an elephant's molar, amputate a giraffe's toe, and perform a whale autopsy. Lately he's been traveling as a freelance: to Qatar for the Sheikh's oryx, to landlocked Karachi, Pakistan, to see pygmy whales that weren't there, to Peking to participate in acupuncture operations--increasingly significant considering how difficult animals are to anesthetize. His diagnostic methods and treatments are necessarily imaginative (a dose of Guinness' stout in the feeding tube?) but his expertise is prized around the world. Perky entertainment.
A veterinarian recounts his adventures with the rare and exotic wild animals of the world. Sequel to "Zoo Vet.". No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
