A Day With The Pet Doctor

Dr. Barbie invites a friend to spend the day at her animal clinic

It's a big day for a small tapir, as he goes to work with Mummy at the Animal Hospital. Terence is going to be a doctor today-just like his mummy. Well, sort of. Terence's mummy is a proper doctor at the animal hospital. Terence is just a mischievous little tapir who causes an awful lot of chaos-in the nicest possible way. Full of warm, witty details and deadpan humour, this hilarious trot round the wards with the animal doctors will entertain every child who loves playing doctors and nurses.

This is an amazing manual covering animal functions of all the major domestic animals. It contains an incredible amount of information in one volume. It is written in a simple, easy to understand style, supplemented with many good illustrations. This book was developed to benefit rural people in many areas of the world where livestock still play an important role in village life. It deals with many different animal health related topics, including disease prevention, control and treatment, and the promotion of good animal nutrition. Specifically, the authors hope that this book will be useful for people living in areas where there is no veterinarian available. It is hoped that people who use this book will be able to realize which disease conditions they can handle on their own and when to call for help from more experienced animal health workers. This book is also available in Spanish, and Tamil.
