The Secret Life of a Vet

This honest and moving story by British veterinary surgeon, writer, and television host of the show “Animal Loving Factor,” Rory Cowlam reveals the secrets behind the ups and downs in the difficult profession of a veterinarian. The author talks not only about animals’ well-being and the most incredible cases in his work, but also about the psychological state of veterinarians who operate in a high-pressure industry connected with life and death.

In an era when doctors and nurses speak more openly about the reality of saving human lives, Rory shows what vitally important services veterinarians provide for animal care. He describes the demanding experience of veterinary school, offers a very humane perspective on what it means to treat animals, and discusses the mental health consequences of the profession that are rarely talked about.
