The Battle Cry of the Siamese Kitten is Dr. Philipp Schott' s third collection of funny, touching, and informative true veterinary stories drawn from his over 30 years in practice. From Dr. Schott' s 30 years in veterinary practice come over 60 heartwarming, funny, and adorable stories about angry pelicans, bug-eyed goldfish, and plenty of cats and dogsIn the third book in this bestselling series, we meet the oddest creatures, from an escaped newt to a baby snow leopard, but the focus is on the dogs and cats that make up most of a pet vet' s day and on the wacky and wonderful people who bring them in. Dr. Schott also pulls back the curtain on what it' s really like to be a veterinarian. Do some vet students faint at the sight of blood? (Yes. ) Is it easier for vets to bring their own pets in for procedures? (No. ) Did the pandemic change veterinary practice? (Yes, and how. )You will also learn how to bathe a dog, why some rats love cats, why Dr. Schott is afraid of parrots, and a surprising way for a dog to accidentally get drunk. And, of course, you will meet Supercat, the Siamese kitten with the mightiest lungs.
"While some pieces offer LOLs and some are sad, it' s all just plain entertaining, with clients like bush dogs Doobie and Gator, a gorgeous snow leopard due for an ultrasound, and yellow lab Man Hampton. Animal owners will find lots of welcome -- and readily dispersed -- factoids. " -- Booklist "Philipp Schott is not James Herriot. This book isn' t about creatures great and small in pre-war Yorkshire -- but the pets that come to this Winnipeg clinic are just as entertaining. " -- Chesil Magazine
Philipp Schott grew up in Saskatoon, where he studied veterinary medicine. He is now chief of staff at a large pet hospital in Winnipeg, MB. He lives with three humans and four animals in a creaky old house on the river. The Battle Cry of the Siamese Kitten is his fifth book.
