Episode 6

In this programme, orthopedic specialist vet Richard Coe is at the Vets Now hospital in Glasgow operating on a young spaniel who has come in with a broken leg. Richard performs surgery to insert a metal plate which binds the two parts of the bone together. At Blair Drummond Safari Park, we follow vet Colin Scott doing his rounds as he checks on the animals, from chimpanzees to penguins and the macaque monkeys, and he finishes his day at the birds of prey show. Meanwhile, in Vatersay, crofters are preparing their cattle for the sales with help from vet David Buckland, who has come across from Barra for the day.
