A vet tech caring for 25 of her own rescue animals, she chronicles her methods, that were sometimes unconventional, but necessary.

Surprising truths about vaccines and pet food are revealed within the pages of this edition as well as common lab tests that you can do at home. Cost saving secrets to caring for your pet birds, small animals, pocket pets, and reptiles are also included.
