First Dog Doctors: Canine Healthcare Practitioners in the Eighteenth-Century Medical Marketplace | Social History of Medicine | Oxford Academic
The question of when dogs became the recipients of veterinary care has long been debated; current scholarship does not acknowledge the long tradition of canine healthcare provided by irregular specialists prior to the late nineteenth century. This article reveals, however, that eighteenth-century Britain was home to a thriving canine medical marketplace. Among its key actors were ‘dog doctors’—individuals without formal healthcare training who regularly treated and healed dogs. This article offers the first historical account of the eighteenth-century dog doctor, contextualising and reappraising his identity, clients and services. It focusses on the dynamic career of the celebrity practitioner John Norborn, who proudly self-identified as a ‘dog doctor’ when the term was considered an insult. In doing so the article considers the conditions in which specialist care for dogs first developed and argues for a new chronology of canine veterinary medicine.

#movie #anthropology #science #copper #age
A movie about the Copper Age Iceman. Dramatized. I think it will be interesting to see what others have made of his story. The comments written by those who watched the movie are great.
UPDATE I watched this movie. It is absolutely incredible. Highly recommended. The actor who played the main part of Otzi is amazing.
