Description

For 26 years, Dr. David Perrin served as a country veterinarian within the rural (but never quiet) Creston valley of southern British Columbia. Do not Turn Your Back within the Barn is his engaging and entertaining firsthand account of his rookie year at the job within the early 1970s. Paying homage to the beloved books of British veterinarian and creator James Herriot, Perrin’s book is by turns heartbreaking and hysterical. In 22 stories, he relays his encounters with an eclectic group of two-legged clients and a roster of 4-legged patients that vary size-wise from a newborn kitten to a 1,500-pound pregnant heifer. Perrin’s honest account of veterinary life includes his mistakes, successes, and frequent searches for answers to problems that the majority of us will thankfully never have to believe (as an example, how does one discourage the advances of an amorous billy goat’). Passion, pathos, adventure, humor-Do not Turn Your Back within the Barn has it all.
