Episode 1

In this programme, we meet Pusia the much-loved guinea pig from Wick who has a catalogue of problems including stones in her bladder and cysts on her ovaries. She has to go through major surgery, and as vet Fiona Crowden operates, will it all go according to plan? This is an emotional story of care and dedication that pulls on the heartstrings. In Aberdeenshire, Woody the Alsatian dog has lost the ability to stand, so the team at Ardene House decides to give him a scan to find out more. A huge portable MRI scanner comes to Ardene, and the news is not good for Woody. Meanwhile, love is in the air at Blair Drummond Safari Park, as vet Colin Scott finds loved up tigers, and some newborns of all shapes and sizes, from a meerkat to a llama. And we meet an adorable nine week old lion cub called Karis, who needs her first vaccine.
