Being a veterinarian requires the ability to juggle many things that are not purely medical. At times we must become a plumber, an electrician, a grief counselor, a mentor and of course, the grim reaper all while still treating our patients. Dr. Nick Trout eloquently describes these things in his book. If you really want to see what being a veterinarian is like on a day-to-day basis, this is a great place to look. -Dr. Shuman

Here is a book that shows the more bizarre and exotic sides of being a
veterinarian. The zoo vet Lucy Spelman, DVM, combines modern medicine
with intuition as she treats animals such as moray eels, bison, a
kangaroo and a hippo. The Rhino with Glue-on Shoes is a
wonderful book filled with strange and unique stories of helping and
healing the animals you would find in a zoo. -Dr. Shuman

All Creatures Great and Small is the true “bible” of being a veterinarian. Dr. James Herriot is a country vet in Scotland. His compassion, humor and humility are infused into every story of his life of treating the farm animals in his village. In many respects his stories have helped define the veterinary profession, as we know it today. -Dr. Shuman

I have often seen my clients quite emotionally confused by the death of their pet. Often they are trying to understand and justify how deeply saddened they are by the passing of their non-human dependent. This is a wonderful book that helps make sense of the loss. It is message is appropriate for adults and children. -Dr. Shuman
