The Ones That Bit Me! Camels, cows and other young-vet stories - Marcus Taylor
A young vet’s experiences with cows and camels
By the time Marcus Taylor graduated from veterinary school at age 23, a sheep, a cow, a hawk, innumerable dogs, cats, parrots and even a fish had locked their mandibles onto his flesh. Each bite only intrigued him further.
From his first entanglement with a cow in ketosis in Canterbury to a beagle in heart failure in Newfoundland, and all manner of adventures and heartbreak in between, this memoir of the early career of a young New Zealand vet is both heartwarming and hilarious.
Marcus Taylor graduated with a degree in veterinary science from Massey University in 2013 and went straight into mixed practice. He later worked in Newfoundland and southern England, and then he worked for a year on an animal-health research project with the Bedouin in the Middle East.
