Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

YA A blue-ribbon winner among veterinary biographies. Miller is a California vet whose patients have included not only the normal clientele of cats and dogs, but also horses, elephants, lions, porpoises and, once, a hummingbird. In an easy-to-read, down-to-earth style, he introduces readers to some memorable experiences from his 25-plus years of veterinary practice. Readers will laugh when reading his account of being at the wrong end of a cow at the wrong time; feel anger as he tells of horse dealers interested only in profit and cry at the tale of courageous, valiant animals who need to be put down. An additional treat is the inclusion of some of his humorous cartoons from a previous book, Who Has the 9:30 Appointment? (American Veterinary Publications, 1979). A book that will be loved by many, whether they be laughing or crying. Pam Spencer, Mount Vernon High School Library, Alexandria, Va.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most entertaining and informative book I have ever read., August 5, 1999
This review is from: Most of My Patients Are Animals (Paperback)
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about animals or amusing anecdotes from the experiences of a veterinarian. This book opened up the possibility for me to pursue a career as a veterinarian. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. I only wish I could contact the author to thank him for writing this book, and giving me the opportunity to read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny/sad/FUNNY, April 18, 2006
This review is from: Most of My Patients Are Animals (Paperback)
Punchlines from this book keep coming to mind as I consider how to title this review. ("I've come to kill the worms." "You're Catholic, huh Doc?" "Elixir of Seconal! You got trouble!")

Miller is an old hand at veterinary humor. He pulls no punches, yet manages to offend almost nobody because his writing, like his cartoons, is sharply, realistically funny while refusing to turn away from the ugly facts of veterinary work.
