Vet on Call. My First Year as an Out-of-Hours Vet

When his father sat him down and told him to 'make something' of himself, young vet Marc Abraham decided to do it the hard way - by setting up an emergency 'out of hours' clinic. If getting used to the long night shifts wasn't bad enough, emergency cases are rarely straightforward. Whether it was dog who swallowed golf balls, or a gerbil in urgent need of a caesarean, every case had the potential for heartbreak.
But animals and their owners could also be hilarious, such as the breeder who unwittingly gave his German Shepherd four testicles.
