About this product

Product Information

From the front lines of modern medicine, Tell Me Where It Hurts is a fascinating insider portrait of a veterinarian, his furry patients, and the blend of old-fashioned instincts and cutting-edge technology that defines pet care in the twenty-first century. For anyone who's ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at your veterinarian's office, Tell Me Where It Hurts offers a vicarious journey through twenty-four intimate, eye-opening, heartrending hours at the premier Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston. You'll learn about the amazing progress of modern animal medicine, where organ transplants, joint replacements, and state-of-the-art cancer treatments have become more and more common. With these technological advances come controversies and complexities that Dr. Trout thoughtfully explores, such as how long (and at what cost) treatments should be given, how the Internet has changed pet care, and the rise in cosmetic surgery. You'll also be inspired by the heartwarming stories of struggle and survival filling these pages. With a wry and winning tone, Dr. Trout offers up hilarious and delightful anecdotes about cuddly (or not-so-cuddly) pets and their variously zany, desperate, and demanding owners. In total, Tell Me Where It Hurts offers a fascinating portrait of the comedy and drama, complexities and rewards involved with loving and healing animals. Part ER , part Dog Whisperer , and part House , this heartfelt and candid book shows that while the technology has changed since James Herriot's day, the humanity and compassion remains unchanged. If you've ever had a pet or special place in your heart for furry friends, Dr. Trout's irresistible book is for you.

  • The experience better than the book.

    As an avid book reader, an animal lover, a veterinary technician, and also one that has personally worked with the wonderful, Dr. Nick Trout, I was excited to read his first book. the pages filled with colorfully everyday people and unknowningly honest descriptive summaries. The stories have much truth as his explanations of dog diseases, medical emergencies etc. tell the layman in depth as to the knowledge that will save dog lives. However, this book is not an easy read, often using words that the common person may have trouble understanding. Plus, his stories often part ways into otherwise, uninteresting, topics. Leaving the reader to hear the rest of the story about the dog, and quite often, I found myself angry at the empty value that filled many pages. Thankfully, there are no stories ...

  • Fascinating, humorous, sensitive experiences of a long-time veterinarian

    This was one of the most entertaining books I've ever read. Dr. Trout is as professional a writer as he is a veterinarian. As a person who cares for dogs, it was especially appealing. However, their is so much human interest in the stories that it should appeal to anyone who just enjoys a light read.

  • Very helpful & time &$ saving

    Great book, excellant guide to unanswered questions you don't have to spend $$$ going to a vet for answers.
