The Horse That Fell Through the Stage: And Other Tales of a Texas Veterinarian - Paperback
by Mason L. Matthews (Author)
A career spanning nearly a half century of work with large animals is distilled in these entertaining vignettes, ranging from fighting an epidemic in Mexico, work with exotic game on Texas ranches, calls to the zoo and one late-night emergency at a local theater.
After graduating from Texas A&M University's School of Veterinary Medicine, Mason L. Matthews spent three years in Mexico's remote Pacific coastal region helping fight an animal epidemic. He returned to his native San Antonio, Texas to specialize in the treatment of large animals, including those at the San Antonio Zoo, where his first patient was a penguin with vertigo. As Texas ranches began stocking exotic game in the 1970s, he pioneered in dealing with the farflung and unusual medical emergencies of the likes of camels, ostriches, and zebras.
