Episode 3

In this programme, we follow equine specialist vet Scott Pirie at the Dick Vet School. One horse gets a CT scan, which is a real practical challenge, and a late night emergency case comes in with suspected colic, which is a life threatening condition. At Ardene House, Marcel Kovalik is the visiting specialist dermatologist vet who has to go through a process of elimination before he can identify what causes a dog's allergies. We also see him teaching an owner to inject his dog himself as they are going on vacation. And in Wick, we see how sick a newborn can get when Shadow the Alsatian puppy comes in after being very unwell, but vet Iain Maclean has good news for his owners who fear the worst. But it is not such good news for Shana the farmer who owns 15 goats as Iain goes out to see Opal, who is one of the older ones in her herd. Stories of joy and stories of sadness as we meet all creatures great and small.
