Randy L. Skaggs, DVM (author)
4.22.27 (release date)
For nearly four decades, Dr. Randy Skaggs has treated whatever walked, hopped, flew, or was hauled through the doors of his rural veterinary clinic. In Country Vet: Just Chewing the Cud, he returns with another lively collection of true stories from the Texas Panhandle, where no two patients—or owners—are ever quite alike.
Meet a rooster who rules the barnyard like a mob boss, a wayward pelican with a bad attitude, a kangaroo in need of emergency care, fearless dachshunds determined to work cattle, and beloved animals whose final goodbyes reveal just how deeply they touch human lives. Along the way, Skaggs offers an honest look at the ingenuity, chaos, heartbreak, and laughter that come with being the only veterinarian for miles.
Warm, candid, and frequently laugh-out-loud funny, this collection celebrates rural communities, unforgettable characters, and the extraordinary bond between animals and the people who love them.
