Veterinary surgeon Gillian Hick's continuing escapades among the animal population.
Once again, vet Gillian Hick finds herself challenged in a way never described in the text books! Based in a mixed animal practice in Wicklow, Gillian also travels regularly to inner city Dublin to work in the Blue Cross animal welfare clinic but finds that sometimes the two lives are hard to combine.
From dairy cattle to turkey cocks, from lofty equines to the not so lofty, from six foot snakes to snuffling hedgehogs, Gillian encounters it all as she struggles to improve her own skills and justify her place in the veterinary profession, along with the help of an ever expanding young family of her own.
