From Country Vet to Animal Hospital.
At the beginning of 'Still Practising', bestselling author David Grant is still a young country vet taking full advantage of the pleasures of country living. His boisterous sense of humour and quest to make the most out of his work and the more informal country pursuits that he finds on his doorstep can always be depended on to lighten the challenges he encounters. However, an urge to tackle a new challenge and a recently acquired allergic reaction to the hair of cows, prompts David to leave the Kent countryside and start work at the now famous RSPCA Harmsworth hospital in London.
David battles through the urban jungle and shares with us the blossoming of what will become his two major passions - working with small animals and the RSPCA. However, the switch from farm animals to pets is not the soft option David had assumed and city life throws up just as many surprises as the country: a fox with a broken leg, a tortoise chewed by a Labrador, a parrot who thinks it's a Siamese cat and a gerbil sucked up by a vacuum cleaner.
'Still Practising' is a wonderfully warm and touching tale of the trials of a young vet with lots to learn about life, love and the animal kingdom.
