For its pedicure this camel dame had to be sedated. Thereafter, it still took the strength of 5 man + one
woman to bring the"lady" into operating position.

Family Friend
I accompanied this village vet on his rounds and entered a house where I came across this engaging shot of a village vet measuring
temperature of a goat affected by PPR disease. This was his third visit and the goat had already passed the threat, thanks to his
medication. The photo to me is a classic portrayal of what a vet means to us.

This picture shows a Horse on an operating table minutes before surgery. The doctor is going to remove a tumor from the

Hanover (Germany) and was reopened in a new building in 2010 at one of the highest technological levels in Europe.
