Sinopsis

I dropped to my knees. Nick was lying on the floor. He hated the exam table. I lifted his head by his chin. His eyes were half-closed, cloudy mucus filled the corners of his eye. There was no longer any black in his muzzle, and gray hair streaked the rest ofáhis coat. I stroked his head and allowed him to lower it back to his paws. I placed a rubber band tourniquet above his elbow and felt to make sure he had a favorable vein. This needed to be a quick procedure. Nick hated this place, and I didnâÇÖt want to put him through any more than necessary.áá~ from 'Rosie' - Last Cow in the Chute______________In this second edition of real-life tales from Dr. David E. LarsenâÇÖs forty years of veterinary practice in a small community in western Oregon, David has added moreáengaging stories that reflect the respect for and dedicated care to the animals he has treated, in all sizes from bulls to mice. In addition to the stories originally included in The Last Cow in the Chute, David has added new stories, like the poignant 'ItâÇÖs Only a Bump, Doc', and introduces us to a biting chichuaha named Fang. Readers will find first-edition favorites like 'Snake Bit in Sweet Home,' and 'Last Cow in the Chute.' All stories continue to draw upon the vast experience of DavidâÇÖs training applying the art of veterinary care to sick animals, and as well as compassion, humor, and education to grateful humans.
