The story of veterinary surgeon Gillian Hick's escapades among the animal population continues. Although by now, not such a green graduate, the animals and their owners keep her challenged in a way never described in the text books. With a mixed base animal practice in Wicklow, Gillian also travels regularly to inner city Dublin to work in the Bluecross animal welfare clinic. From six foot snakes to snuffling hedgehogs, Gillian encounters it all, along with the help of her ever expanding young family.
