(The cow did fine.) She went on to work in isolated clinics in Western Australia and eventually settled in Tasmania. Her lively stories, from improvising a catheter from some bits and bobs in the shed, to wrestling with a pig in a broken-down pen, to stitching in a prolapsed oviduct on an ostrich, show the hard work, self-reliance and resourcefulness needed for life as an outback vet - and the satisfaction of helping animals and their owners in the amazing country she travelled through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margareta Shiel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1763692167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781763692169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashwood Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.58d","brand":"Margareta Shiel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087685894399,"sku":"9781763692169","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c89c109-c081-4244-816a-ad06733c834d.jpg?v=1753850505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-all-animal-vet-margareta-shiel-9781763692169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
