Download Unlikely Companions: The Adventures of an Exotic Animal Doctor (or, What Friends Feathered, Furred, and Scaled Have Taught Me about Life and Love) AudioBook Free
If you've ever wondered how to clean a ferrets' GI tract or remove corneal ulcers from a pot-bellied pig, you'll soon learn much more than that. Beyond the medical part of Dr. Hess's experience as one of just a few exotic animal veterinarians, Unlikely Companions says the story of what the remarkable dogs and cats she treats and their equally eccentric, dedicated, and sometimes challenging owners have educated her about the importance of caring and recovering ourselves. Unlikely Companions is part memoir, part pet mystery, and part inspirational self-help, an All Creatures Great and Small with a mystical twist that includes a special meaning for ladies about taking care of our most important relationships - those with our friends, coworkers, children, spouses, and ourselves. Unlikely Companions is prepared into seven chapters chronicling a week in Dr. Hess's life as an spectacular animal animal medical practitioner, as she struggles to solve a veterinary mystery impacting on her practice and the ones of vets around the country. In this week, the listener will become a member of her as she strolls into risky surgery, life-altering diagnoses, and as she juggles back-to-back meetings with puzzling patients and challenging owners - and that is just at the office. For each and every day of her fast-paced week, listeners will tag alongside her and be privy to some of the most interesting, entertaining, and serious pet-owner romantic relationships she's experienced the privilege to see and monitor. They explore universal themes or templates like companionship and dedication, isolation and grief, self-care and acceptance. If you've ever owned a pet, then you know - animals have a means of speaking the reality, don't they? Heartwarming, heartbreaking, and uplifting all at one time, Unlikely Companions can make you want to snuggle up with your loved ones, both the two- and four-legged.
