## Description

Coated with Fur: A Vet's Life [Nelson, Dr Kristen] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Coated with Fur: A Vet's Life

Review: Another vet book that's hard to put down - When Dr. Kristen Nelson was 5, she was invited to go duck hunting with her father. She established a duck hospital in the bow of the boat with blankets food & water, and tenderly dressed each duck's wounds wrapping a towel around it in a bid to save it. This love of animals and a desire to save them, as well as empathy for their owners, shows through in her book. I found myself following the story of each patient and owner with deep interest. I have read and enjoyed the "All Creatures" books by English vet James Herriot, and I suppose like others I tend to use them as a benchmark to compare other veterinary books (perhaps unfairly). "Coated In Fur: a Vet's Life" is well written and an enjoyable read in the James Herriot mould. Apparently Dr. Nelson is working on a second book: "Coated With Fur: A Blind Cat's Love", I hope it is published as a Kindle e-book.
Review: Great stories of a young vet's first practice - Dr. Nelson not only has a way with animals but also with storytelling. She covers a myriad of cases during the opening of her first vet practice. Well written, interesting and heartwarming.

Dr. Nelson not only has a way with animals but also with storytelling. She covers a myriad of cases during the opening of her first vet practice. Well written, interesting and heartwarming.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Vet
*by S***A on May 1, 2014*

Full of stories of all kinds of animals and creatures plus people of all kinds. I never realized just how difficult it must be for a vet to not only work with so many animals but also with strong human personalities. Dr Nelson shows great caring and knowledge along with patience and persistence. Her writing style is stilted but her love of animals shines through making that a minor flaw.
