When the Going Gets Tough: Still More Adventures from a Country Vet (Adventures of a Country Vet Book 5)

Come along on another adventure with Dr. Dave Perrin, as he continues his veterinary career in a tiny rural town, with all the ups and downs of life in the 1970's.

Construction on his dream home is progressing at a snailâ€™s pace, but everything else in Dr. Daveâ€™s complicated life is charging ahead full tilt. Heâ€™s hired a recent graduate to assist with his practice and is moving to a new clinic. With faithful dog, Lug, at his side, Dave deals with a multitude of eccentric clients and unpredictable patients: Petunia, the housebroken calf; Skroopchuck, the cat from hell; Snowball, the cockatoo with a taste for blood; Gretta Maletta, the family pet who doesnâ€™t know sheâ€™s a chicken; and Coonie, the wayward raccoon who lays claim to the family farm.

A horse in distress brings Dr. Dave in touch with romance again when he meets the owner. Although people say he can work magic with animals, can his charm work on the human species? Meanwhile, the new vet has everyone convinced he alone can solve their problems. While mentoring his assistant, Dr. Dave learns a few things himself â€“ that not everyone responds to the rigours of practice as he does and that his protÃ©gÃ© appears to be leaning to the dark sideâ€¦

As reviewers say, "Dr. Perrin tells a good story." His book series, "Adventures of a Country Vet" is an international bestseller.
