00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,255
CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY:
Across Yorkshire's moors and dales,
2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,055
the world's most famous vet
set the benchmark for animal care.
3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,895
And James Herriot's legacy
lives on.
4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,495
His former trainee, Peter Wright...
5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,135
All my life,
I've enjoyed doing this.
6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,495
...has been a Yorkshire Vet
for over 40 years.
7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,415
I'm getting the impression you
8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,775
is that right?
Probably!
9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,055
Peter's old partner,
Julian Norton...
10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,735
With a gloved hand
11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,655
and lubricated finger,
I'm well equipped.
12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,695
...now runs two practices.
Come on, young man!
13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,055
One of them in the town
where Herriot worked,
14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,575
surrounded by the
North Yorkshire landscape he loved.
15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,655
Look at that. What a sheep!
16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,135
And in the foothills
of the Pennines..
17
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,415
I'm armed and ready.
18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,135
...a new generation
of town and country vets...
19
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,455
This is the closest to James Bond
I think I'm ever getting.
20
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:55,455
...also uphold the Herriot ethos.
21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,975
Another day in paradise.
22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,975
The teams are united...
23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,815
We can probably knock this off
ourselves, do you think? Pfft!
24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,095
...never taking their eyes
off the ball.
25
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,695
Oh, howzat?! Ooh!
26
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,055
As they help animals
of all shapes...
27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,615
Didn't think
I'd be hugging a turkey today.
28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,815
...sizes..
29
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,935
...types...
30
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,775
Nearly clone, nearly clone, Bertie.
31
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,055
...and temperaments.
32
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,775
Ow! He's bit me.
33
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,335
It's definitely not glamourous.
34
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,695
I spend far too much of my time
scrubbing testicles.
35
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,135
But it's varied.
36
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,575
Eee-aw!
37
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,455
You ought to know better.
38
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,415
It's rarely easy.
39
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,055
But they continue
the Herriot tradition...
40
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,255
Whoa!
..treating all creatures...
41
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,295
...great...
Aw, Merlin.
42
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:41,335
Go on!
..and small.
43
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,695
Hello!
44
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,935
The moors embrace
the day's first golden beams.
45
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,215
Then, from dawn till dusk,
46
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,415
Yorkshire's beauty evolves.
47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,615
Once morning has broken,
48
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:16,135
and farmers' labouring hands
are hard at work,
49
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,655
the creatures
that call this countryside home
50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,695
are full of energy...
51
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,335
until that much-needed
afternoon snooze.
52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,135
Evening paints the skies
with hues bold.
53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,415
Before the next dawn chorus
heralds another day
54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,975
of stories to be told.
55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,975
CHIRPING AND BLEATING
56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,335
At the county's
veterinary practices...
57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,415
Morning, Gill.
Good morning.
58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,175
...as each day begins...
59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,815
Morning cuppa.
Oh, thanks.
60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,615
...they never quite know what tune
they'll be dancing to.
61
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,215
Right, let's see what we've got
this morning.
62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,695
And in Thirsk...
63
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,615
How are you?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
64
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:06,855
...it's never long until
all hands are on deck in theatre.
65
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,615
It's all weird, isn't it?
66
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,695
Julian and nurses Robyn and Frankie
67
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,015
are prepping
pregnant basset hound, Sasha,
68
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,775
for emergency surgery.
69
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,135
She's supposed to be having
some babies,
70
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,015
but they're a bit overdue,
and she's not...
71
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,815
making any progress.
Not making progress.
72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,775
Has she had pups before?
No, first litter.
73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,295
Sasha's owner, Liz, knew
things weren't as they should be.
74
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,015
You can usually see some signs.
75
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,255
She hasn't done a great lot
in digging and... and things.
76
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,015
You're all right, eh?
77
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,335
Usually, they get uncomfortable
and agitated and stuff like that.
78
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,535
But there's just nothing there.
79
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,855
Just in case it goes
the opposite way,
80
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,095
you know what I mean?
81
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,175
You're all right. Shh, shh, shh.
82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,775
I cope with everything,
but this bit is the worst.
83
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,215
Horrible. Cos you just don't know
what's going on in there, do you?
84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,935
Right, unplug, unplug-
85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,655
Unplug quick.
86
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,135
Ready, are we ready?
87
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,495
Yeah.
Go.
88
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,895
Is she OK?
Yeah.
89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,495
There's always a bit
of a pressure of time
90
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,375
whenever mum's anaesthetised,
91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,295
the pups are kind of
slightly compromised.
92
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,575
She's got an abdomen
full of puppies,
93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,975
on the lungs, as well.
94
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,375
So very much the quicker we can
get this clone and the pups out
95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,135
and Mum fastened back together,
the better.
96
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,815
Right, I'm gonna go.
97
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,855
Right, so this is probably the
98
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,615
Ancl a flaccid uterus
means no contractions,
99
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,375
so that's why...
100
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,775
Sasha's not been progressing
with the birth normally.
101
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,975
We don't really know how many
is gonna be in here.
102
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,495
But we'll find out in a minute.
103
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,455
In here is a pup.
104
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,695
Feels quite big.
105
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,495
So, the pup's just a bit stuck
in this part of the uterus,
106
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,375
But it's in the far end
of the other horn.
107
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,895
So, the next challenge for me
is to get them out safely.
108
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,615
Ah, come on, pup.
109
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,815
A Yorkshire vet's varied day
can be fast and furious.
110
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:06,095
It's all right, it's all right.
Way, way, way.
111
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,655
Don't you worry yourself.
112
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,095
Don't you worry.
It's absolutely fine.
113
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,175
That's lovely.
114
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,735
...is often like maintaining
a classic car.
115
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,335
What's he called?
116
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,495
Royce.
Royce?
117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,175
Well, we've got Bentley.
118
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,735
Rolls Royce. Well, let's just
have a listen to you.
119
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,375
You check the engine is tip-top...
120
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,775
That gut is far too active.
Mm-hm.
121
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,695
...and making all the right noises.
122
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,535
It should just be a gentle,
123
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,895
But it's like a symphony orchestra
in there.
124
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,255
It's...
Banging and clattering about?
125
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:44,615
Banging and clattering about!
I couldn't have put it better.
126
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,615
So, I'm just going to give him
something to calm that down,
127
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,895
just to relax his guts.
128
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,775
Then, after a full service...
129
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,695
You're a model citizen,
aren't you, eh?
130
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,895
You're a good little Royce,
aren't you, eh?
131
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,335
I'll assume you're all right.
132
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,095
Yes.
Very good. Thank you very much.
133
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,735
Thank you very much, Peter.
134
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,935
Good boy, aren't you, eh?
135
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,855
But nightfall doesn't always mean
the end of a day's journey.
136
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,935
Rohin's taken an urgent call.
137
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,855
It's about 9:30pm
on a cold, freezing night.
138
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,535
So he's just not very well.
139
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,255
One of the big concerns here, and
one thing that goats are prone to
140
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,615
is the fact that
he's struggling to urinate.
141
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,415
If that's linked to something like
a blockage of his bladder,
142
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,815
it can be very serious indeed,
and genuinely life-threatening.
143
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,535
So that's why I've advised,
as an emergency,
144
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,015
they come down tonight
and we check him.
145
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,055
Angie and her family
have become increasingly worried
146
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,975
about their pet goat.
147
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,415
He's not been to the toilet much.
We don't believe he's been at all.
148
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,335
We were hoping
he'd have improved a bit by now,
149
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,455
but there's initial worry
that he'd eaten something,
150
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,495
but now we think
there's something else going on,
151
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,175
so we'd rather just get him
checked out as soon as possible.
152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,055
Hi, guys.
Hi.
153
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,815
How's it going?
154
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,895
He's not really eating,
he's not really passed much.
155
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,535
Is he passing any wee at all
156
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,055
Have you seen him kind of
157
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,735
Yeah.
158
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,015
Yeah.
159
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,255
If there's an obstruction there,
it's a ticking time bomb.
160
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,015
Hello, mate, Billy.
161
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,695
Doesn't have as much fight in him
at the minute as he normally does.
162
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,655
Muscular, strong goat, isn't he?
Yeah.
163
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:39,935
He has been so far.
164
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,615
So far, the good signs,
165
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,975
his temperature's OK,
he's well hydrated.
166
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,615
But the thing we're worried about
is, could he have an obstruction?
167
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,335
Ancl that would be very bad news.
168
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,415
One way we can tell
is by me sticking my finger
169
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,335
into his bottom
and trying to feel the urethra,
170
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,015
see if we can feel any pulsing,
171
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,775
which can happen
when there's a blockage.
172
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,655
I don't think Billy
will be very impressed.
173
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,055
BILLY YELPS
174
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,895
Sorry, mate.
All right, darling.
175
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,295
BILLY YELPS
176
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,575
OK. That's fine.
177
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,775
So, yeah, I can't feel it pulsing.
178
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,295
I think the next thing is
179
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,735
I would like to stick a scanner
on his tummy. OK.
180
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,175
If there's a very big
and swollen bladder,
181
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,255
that increases the suspicion
of it being an obstruction. Right.
182
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,535
If you follow me,
we can go and do that. Lovely.
183
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:30,055
Come on, then, lad.
184
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,175
I'd like to see,
what does it look like internally?
185
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,215
Have we got a swollen bladder?
186
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,055
Have we got a rupture,
which is even worse
187
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,655
where you'll have fluid
in the abdomen?
188
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,655
That's the stage
I was worried about us getting to.
189
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,415
Are you gonna stand up for us?
Good lad.
190
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,175
BILLY YELPS
191
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:53,455
Within his bladder,
there's irregular structures there
192
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,735
that you wouldn't expect
to be there. OK.
193
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,175
It could be either blood clots
194
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,455
or the worst case,
it could be a tumour. Tumour.
195
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,735
It looks like that.
196
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,695
Coming up...
197
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,095
I know I'm strange
and I don't smell very nice.
198
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,215
...Peter smells tension
as he helps a school sheep.
199
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,535
Quite closely.
200
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,455
Ancl one in particular
that's a big chum of Lenny's.
201
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,015
Some puppy progress.
202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,135
Is she all right?
203
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,215
But it is the picture bright?
204
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,575
Puppy's looking a bit
of a funny colour.
205
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,255
And new problems...
206
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,855
He's been through the wars,
has Gary.
207
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,775
...for the Casanova
of Cannon Hall Farm.
208
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,135
There's some worried ladies
gathering round.
209
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,015
They're worried for him.
Ah, don't look so concerned, eh?
210
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,335
CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY: In Thirsk,
there's tension in theatre
211
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,615
forjulian and his team...
212
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,535
Stuck.
213
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,215
...as they try to deliver
214
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,175
Sasha the basset hound's
stuck puppies,
215
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,455
with owner Liz
waiting nervously outside.
216
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,935
I just want them out now,
217
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,135
just to make sure they're OK,
you know?
218
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,175
Here we are, here we are.
219
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,055
There we are, head first.
220
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,255
There we are, there we are.
Look at that.
221
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,335
Is she all right?
222
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,855
So, puppy number two
is about to emerge.
223
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,575
Puppy's looking
a bit of a funny colour.
224
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,815
There you go.
225
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,775
I think there's zero chance that
226
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,535
so I'm pleased that we've clone
what we've clone.
227
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,295
PUPPY MEWLS
228
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,935
I can hear them already.
229
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,415
MEWLING
230
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,935
After hearing the commotion,
231
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,895
Anne's come for a peek
at the twin boys.
232
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,255
Only two? Hello! Look at you!
233
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:09,855
He says, "|'m hungry!"
234
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,135
Look how pink his nose is.
I know.
235
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,455
And she might have to deal with
a broody husband.
236
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,775
You're nice, aren't you? Aw!
237
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,655
Can we get one? Shall we get one?
238
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,615
They look very good, very fit
and very strong
239
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,415
and very... very cute.
240
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,775
There they are, look.
241
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,655
Oh, they're a decent size, them,
aren't they?
242
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:41,375
Yeah, we thought they were big.
Yeah.
243
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,135
Oh, look at you, little man.
244
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,495
She's OK,
she's just starting to sit up,
245
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,375
so she'll be able to come out
in a minute or two.
246
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:51,895
I've got them all,
247
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,055
all their beds ready
in front of that bay window,
248
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,495
and I've got a bed for Sasha.
249
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,175
Then the pups go, like, in her...
250
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,535
and then I've got a bed
right next to them.
251
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,215
I lie on the floor with them
for three weeks.
252
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,735
Yeah.
Till they start pooing on you.
253
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,015
Once they start pooing on you,
you get out.
254
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,015
I don't blame you.
255
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,295
Right, we better get Mum.
256
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,775
She won't walk.
I knew she wouldn't walk!
257
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,615
It's like a magic carpet ride.
258
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,735
Hey, Sash,
have you been a good girl?
259
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,335
She's wagging her tail at them.
260
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,335
Are they your babies, sweetheart?
261
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,415
What do you think?
262
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,975
Oh, she's licking.
263
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,695
Good girl. Good girl.
264
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,855
That's gone really very well.
265
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,855
There'll be fun and games back
at Liz's house, I think, later on.
266
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,135
For all we've got a bit
of tidying up to do here,
267
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,655
over the next few weeks.
268
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,495
SHEEP BLEATING
269
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,575
Near Kirkbymoorside,
270
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,015
Welburn Hall School for children
with additional educational needs
271
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,215
has its own working farm.
272
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,975
The last time Peter was here...
273
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,255
Are we changing this straw over?
Yeah.
274
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,055
...it was to rehome two goats.
275
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,255
Right. That's it. Lovely.
276
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,655
Are we working hard enough, boss?
277
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,295
Yeah, you are.
Good lad.
278
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,015
LAUGHTER
279
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,455
Today, it's back to school...
280
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,695
You all right, Lenny?
Come here, lad.
281
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,455
...after site manager, Darren,
asked for his help.
282
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,175
Lenny's our school farm sheep,
283
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,775
and he's put his head
through the fence,
284
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,855
and he's bent one of his horns.
285
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,455
He had them removed
when he were younger,
286
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,895
but they've come back through,
287
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,695
and he's having some problems
with it now.
288
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,695
Seems to be growing back into
the side of his head.
289
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,895
We are a little concerned
at the moment.
290
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,975
Morning, Darren.
291
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,455
Good to see you again.
You, too.
292
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,495
It is, yes.
293
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,975
Ancl he's got problems with a horn
294
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,975
Knocked it on t'fence
a couple of week back,
295
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,855
and it seems to be growing back
into t'side of his head now.
296
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,895
Ah, right, OK.
297
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,055
You're looking at me with great
298
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,935
How are you?
I haven't got any food, either.
299
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,695
No, I'm a miserable devil. I am.
300
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,015
Now I've just got to come
and have a look at your appendage
301
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,215
and see what we can do with it.
302
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,095
I know I'm strange
and I don't smell very nice.
303
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,895
PETER CHUCKLES
304
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,575
Yeah, I think
I can numb around there...
305
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,935
Yeah.
..and then cheese wire it.
306
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,295
That's probably the best thing.
307
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,815
Cos I suppose if he puts his head
through the fence,
308
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,335
he'll get it stuck, does he?
309
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,655
He tries to get through
310
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,655
You know what they say, the grass
311
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,535
Right, Mr Lenny,
we'll get organised,
312
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,095
and we'll get you sorted out.
313
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,295
I'll go and get my stuff.
OK.
314
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,855
Peter knows removing Lenny's horn
won't be straightforward.
315
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,015
We may succeed, we may not.
316
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,295
With me this morning,
as to how successful we are.
317
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,935
And he's feeling extra pressure...
318
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,655
this morning.
319
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,975
...with 15-year-old Spencer likely
to keep a closer eye than most.
320
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,335
Len ny's my favourite,
321
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,175
he always runs for food,
and he, like, loves food.
322
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,135
Scrutinising me quite closely
323
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,415
and one in particular
that's a big chum of Lenny's.
324
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,215
So, it's always a bit of
extra tension in that situation.
325
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,175
So I'm just praying
that things go smoothly.
326
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,175
At the hospital in Huddersfield,
327
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,015
Rohin's trying to work out
328
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,815
so poorly.
329
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,415
Good lad, Billy. Good boy.
He's behaving quite well.
330
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,135
He's hoping an ultrasound scan
331
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,775
will reveal
if it's a bladder blockage.
332
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,295
So, the black represents fluid...
OK.
333
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,775
...within his bladder.
334
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,335
Ancl then you've got this
irregular structure within it.
335
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,295
When you look at the bladder.
336
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,895
It's not what you typically expect
337
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,655
I think the thing we need to be
a bit more concerned about,
338
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,255
we've got another pocket of fluid,
339
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,695
further in the abdomen.
340
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,255
That pocket of fluid
shouldn't be there.
341
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,775
The concern is that could be
if there's some peritonitis,
342
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,775
essentially
inflammation or infection,
343
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,055
resulting in the fluid
in his abdomen being present
344
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,055
in that pocket. OK.
345
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,455
What could have caused that?
346
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,735
It can be
if there's a severe infection
347
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,375
affecting their digestive tract.
348
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,655
It can be if they've swallowed
something sharp
349
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,055
their digestive tract
350
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,615
and it's caused inflammation
that way.
351
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:01,455
We haven't got a ruptured bladder.
352
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,655
We haven't got a full blockage
of his urinary system.
353
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,215
I think we should treat
for what we've seen on the scan,
354
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,575
presumptively kind of
treating for peritonitis
355
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,935
on the basis of that fluid
being there,
356
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,295
that we don't want it to be there.
357
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,615
And see that he is passing wee.
358
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,615
So we're gonna give him
some antibiotics.
359
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,135
We're gonna give him plenty of
360
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,535
There you go, mate.
361
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,575
Poor Billy's had
a stressful evening, hasn't he?
362
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,975
But at least we know
there's a pocket of fluid there.
363
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,615
We're treating for infection,
364
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,295
which is the most common cause
of that,
365
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,175
and I think we're hopefully
on the right tracks
366
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,615
I think we're still friends,
aren't we? I think so.
367
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,495
A little bit sorry for him,
368
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,215
but just glad
we're making some progress.
369
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,095
It's just worrying when you know
there's something wrong with him
370
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:01,295
and you don't know what
you're contending with.
371
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,295
Yeah, you can finally go home now.
372
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,655
Fantastic. Get away from
the scary man, isn't it?
373
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,975
All right! Thank you ever so much.
No worries.
374
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,095
Well, he's had all sorts
clone to him tonight,
375
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:20,975
but hopefully the outcome of that
means we're more likely to know
376
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,895
what he's dealing with
and how we can help him.
377
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,255
I'll go to bed,
378
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,535
hopefully there's no more calls
tonight, but you never know.
379
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,655
So, we'll see what happens.
380
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,855
BLEATING
381
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,615
Of all the residents
at Cannon Hall Farm,
382
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,295
Gary the donkey
is one of the most enthusiastic.
383
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,735
Gary, calm down, I don't think...
384
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,095
Although, over the years,
Gary's had private problems...
385
00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,655
Have you had a feel of that?
That sounds a daft question.
386
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,295
LAUGHTER
387
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,695
...which haven't exactly
been private.
388
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,575
God, it's right on the end
of his bloomin' penis there.
389
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,935
Aye, it looks quite nasty,
does that, doesn't it?
390
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,655
Butjulian and Matt removed
his life-threatening lump.
391
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,215
That's it off.
392
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,215
And for the past three years...
393
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,175
BRAYING
394
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,415
...he's been living it up
with his ladies.
395
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,175
Go on, Gary, give her a kiss.
396
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,455
That's it.
397
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,775
THEY CHUCKLE
398
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,935
Now Rob and Dave...
399
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,295
He's looked better, Rob.
400
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,575
Gary the donkey has got
a very sore foot.
401
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,535
He's obviously in
a load of discomfort.
402
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,895
He's obviously
loads of inflammation.
403
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,735
We just need Matt here
to hopefully make him feel better.
404
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,255
He's been through the wars,
has Gary.
405
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,895
And now he's got a problem
with his front foot.
406
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,895
You all right there, Matt?
You all right? How's it going?
407
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,695
The bad news is,
his front foot is really sore.
408
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:18,455
I think he knows
you've arrived, Matt.
409
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,855
He's heading off
in the other direction.
410
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,335
Poor lad.
Yeah, you can see it's quite sore,
411
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:25,695
that front left one, isn't it?
Well, let's see what we can do.
412
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,335
There's some worried ladies, Matt,
gathering round.
413
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:32,615
They're worried for him.
414
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,975
Oh, don't look so concerned, eh?
415
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,735
It'll be fine.
We'll get Gary sorted.
416
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,815
All right. Let's have a look.
'Ey, lad.
417
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,895
Smells quite... Ooh.
418
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,935
It's like that fetid
and fermented bacterial smell.
419
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,255
There we go.
420
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,095
Probably a bit more.
421
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,815
I think, more than likely,
it's an abscess,
422
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,095
as that's often the most common
cause of a sudden lameness
423
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:01,695
in an otherwise healthy animal.
424
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,655
So, these are
what we call hoof testers,
425
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,375
and what it does,
it puts a bit of pressure
426
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,175
on each area of the hoof
that you squeeze on.
427
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,015
If there's an abscess there,
when you find it,
428
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,015
they're like, "Whey",
429
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,455
So, no response there.
No, that's fine.
430
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,815
If I find something right now,
it'd be a good thing.
431
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,175
If not, it begs the question,
what's causing this lameness?
432
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,735
It is worrying,
433
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,335
He's like a member of the family,
if you like.
434
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,055
I just hope he can find, you know,
something that we can make right.
435
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,855
Coming up...
436
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,935
...Peter has a young apprentice.
437
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,255
Do you know, normally, I've got
to get out and get things myself,
438
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,855
so it's lovely you're here.
439
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,735
Can Julian resist
taking a young basset hound?
440
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,935
He's lovely, isn't he!
Beautiful, isn't he?
441
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,215
And has Matt made a breakthrough?
442
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,255
Steady, steady.
443
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,735
Found a bit of pain there,
haven't you?
444
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,815
CH RISTOPH ER TIMOTHY:
Near Kirkbymoorside,
445
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,615
an anxious crowd has gathered
446
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,855
to watch Peter remove
Lenny's troublesome horn...
447
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,135
Sorry, Lenny, I'm back.
448
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,695
You thought you got rid of me,
didn't you?
449
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,815
LEN NY BLEATS
450
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,215
...with Spencer especially fond
of the school's pet ram.
451
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,335
He's really friendly
if you've got food.
452
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:34,935
Ancl yeah, he is funny.
453
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,775
LEN NY BLEATS
454
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,095
Now, Lenny, we're just going
to put this over your head first
455
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:42,935
so we've a bit more control.
456
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,495
That over your nose.
457
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,255
I know, it's a very strange
old game, this, isn't it, Lenny?
458
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,655
Now, is anybody able
to pass me my stuff?
459
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,495
Cos I don't... Yeah?
460
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,695
Do you want to come?
Do you want to come in? Logan?
461
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,735
Yeah.
Right, Logan.
462
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,935
I'm going to give him
a bit of a haircut to start with,
463
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,895
Now, the trouble is,
I'm not much of a stylist.
464
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,655
Just that bit of hair round there.
465
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,655
Now, next,
there's a syringe in there now.
466
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,095
If you can pass me... Perfect.
467
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:20,295
Excellent. Thank you very much.
468
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,695
Do you know, normally, I've got
to get out and get things myself,
469
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,895
so it's lovely you're here.
470
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,535
I'm just going to pop a little bit
of a local.
471
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,535
That's it.
472
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,815
There, you see,
it's not too bad, is it?
473
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,335
Right, mister.
474
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,215
Now, Lenny, you may not like
what I'm going to do now,
475
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,615
but it'll only take us
a short period of time.
476
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:52,495
The plan is now just to gradually
cheese wire this off, if we can.
477
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,215
That's lovely.
478
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,655
We'll just go steady.
479
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,695
CHEESE WIRE SCRAPING
480
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,255
Yeah.
You're not feeling that, are you?
481
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,855
Whoa! There we go!
482
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,895
Good lad. Go on, lad.
483
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,055
I'm just going to try
and stop it regrowing back
484
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,455
and then he won't have
to have this clone any more.
485
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,455
Good lad.
486
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,495
Right.
487
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,415
He's not feeling that
in the slightest.
488
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,775
In fact, he's a model patient.
489
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,695
That's it.
490
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,495
Ancl that's just to stop him
getting any infection in there.
491
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,175
Very good.
Yay!
492
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,855
Lovely.
493
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,255
Ancl you're quite happy
that he wasn't in any pain there?
494
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,615
Yeah.
Good.
495
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,975
I know you would've told me
if you were unhappy,
496
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,455
cos you're a big mate of his,
aren't you?
497
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,095
Very good.
498
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,135
Well, I'll tell you what,
who would like to keep that?
499
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,935
Spencer. You've got to have that,
haven't you? You've got to.
500
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,855
You're gonna have
a piece of Lenny forever.
501
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,655
LAUGHTER
502
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,935
Well, that was the bit
503
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,295
won't you?
504
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,815
Very good. Excellent.
505
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,455
That's gone very well,
but it had to do, really,
506
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,055
with the critical audience
that I've got here today.
507
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,255
I'm pleased to see we've got some
budding shepherds here, as well,
508
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,855
which is lovely.
509
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,015
Good boy.
510
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,335
Over in Thirsk...
511
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,695
Good little puppy, yes, you are!
512
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,695
...Liz is waiting to seejulian
513
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,415
with the two basset hound puppies
he delivered by caesarean...
514
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,775
There you go
515
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,815
...before nearly smuggling one home.
516
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,615
Aw, shall we get one?
Emmy would love you!
517
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,775
This is Benjamin,
and that's whingy Gerald.
518
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,415
They're nine weeks today,
519
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,615
so they're gonna have
their first injections.
520
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,495
Hi, Liz, you all right?
Hi. Come on, then.
521
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,015
How are they doing, all right?
Yeah, here's the babies.
522
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,695
They're not so small any more.
I know.
523
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,655
So, Benjamin.
Ancl Gerald.
524
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,335
It's Ben and Jerry, the ice cream.
525
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,295
Oh, I see, right.
526
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,295
So, they'll be good pals,
best mates, will they?
527
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,855
Oh, they love each other, yeah,
drag each other around
528
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,415
as puppies do.
But it's all playing, isn't it?
529
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,615
Yeah, it's just play.
There's no malice, just playing.
530
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,095
Just don't go out on a windy clay,
you'll get blown away.
531
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:41,455
Ancl Mum's all right, is she?
Brilliant, yeah.
532
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,295
They both sound good,
their hearts are brilliant. Mm-hm.
533
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,295
Yeah, brilliant pups.
534
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,935
Right, so, needle time now,
I'm afraid, folks.
535
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:55,775
He's lovely, isn't he!
Beautiful, isn't he?
536
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,775
You are, as well.
537
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,055
But you're really beautiful.
538
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,775
It's all about the eyes, isn't it?
539
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,135
DOGS WHINE
540
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,055
Oh, clear me.
Oh, my word, it's not that bad!
541
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,815
That was a bit
of an overreaction, Ben.
542
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,095
WHINING
543
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,535
Oh, no, he wasn't so bad.
544
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,695
Good, excellent.
545
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,815
Really. Good boy.
546
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,375
I'm very proud of my little pair
of twins. Look at these.
547
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,335
They're not really mine,
but you know what I mean.
548
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:27,575
THEY CHUCKLE
549
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,215
Yeah.
See you, guys.
550
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,015
We'll get you to have one
one clay, Julian.
551
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,495
One clay, one clay. All right.
552
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,935
See you later. Right, thank you.
Thanks. Cheerio.
553
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,535
And although Julian
just resisted Ben andjerry,
554
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,975
they've definitely
melted Liz's heart.
555
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,215
I think they're definitely
gonna be keepers, both of them.
556
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,255
How can you say no to that?
557
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,615
SHE CHUCKLES
558
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,055
I saw them at the very inception
of their life,
559
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,735
when they just literally came out
and took their first breaths.
560
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,095
Ancl on top of which,
it's really great
561
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,375
to be able to play
with two cute, cuddly puppies,
562
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,535
Across Yorkshire, it's been a month
563
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,695
since Rohin
treated Angie's goat, Billy,
564
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,615
for a serious abdominal infection.
565
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,335
Billy, Billy!
566
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,815
Bob, Bob!
567
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,015
Come on, boys! Tea time!
568
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,935
He's been doing amazing.
569
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,295
Going on with him.
570
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,655
The key thing
was getting the antibiotics
571
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,855
to make sure
that the infection went away.
572
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,055
He's looking
a heck of a lot better,
573
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,575
and he's eating,
which is the most important thing.
574
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,415
Good boy.
575
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,855
And Billy's recovery
means it's back to daily walks
576
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,735
with Angie's daughter, Lexi.
577
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,015
SHE CHUCKLES
578
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,815
really.
579
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,535
He's a bit more energetic
and hard to deal with,
580
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,775
but honestly it's just so nice
to see him back to his usual self.
581
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,095
When we go walking down t'lane,
582
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,615
and particularly dog walkers,
when they're coming up, as well,
583
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,935
and we're walking a goat.
584
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,295
On Head.
585
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,335
They're pets to us, really.
586
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,375
They're like a member of t'family,
so you worry about these things.
587
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,695
Ancl thankfully, he's managed to
pull through and he's doing great.
588
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,175
At Cannon Hall Farm...
589
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,935
So, I'm just paring away
some of this dead tissue,
590
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,135
then I can see what's going on.
591
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,015
...Matt's trying to work out
592
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,415
what's making Rob and Dave's
charismatic donkey, Gary, lame.
593
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,095
It'd be nice
if Matt's found something,
594
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,935
but he hasn't at the moment.
595
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,255
Good lad.
596
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,575
RUTH: Steady, steady.
597
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,095
You've found a bit of pain there,
haven't you?
598
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,175
I think from what I've seen,
I'm quite happy
599
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,815
there's nothing obviously
stuck there.
600
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,495
I think it still
could well be an abscess,
601
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,015
just how it's presented
and from what I've seen.
602
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,375
Because I can't find it,
doesn't mean it's not there.
603
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,815
So I think we're gonna
get a poultice on him.
604
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,655
A poultice is like
a fancy cotton wool wrap.
605
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,535
It draws out any infection
606
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,895
that might be within that hoof
that we can't see yet
607
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,575
and essentially allows it to burst
over a period of a couple of days.
608
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,455
It provides a lot of relief
for the patient.
609
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,535
SHAKES AN D SPRAYS
610
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,895
That'll kill off that thrush
that's in there.
611
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,295
I'll get this poultice on,
and then...
612
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,375
please, Dave. That's grand.
613
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,975
And then just pull this round.
Good lad.
614
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,855
Right, we're done with you, pal.
Best of luck.
615
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,215
But I think, most likely,
616
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,935
we are dealing with an abscess
617
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,895
that just hasn't developed enough
to cause a positive response
618
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,255
on the hoof testers yet,
just by how it's presenting.
619
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,695
I hope for Gary's sake it is,
620
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,895
because I feel
I've got a bit of a bond with him.
621
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,815
Thanks very much, Matt.
Anytime. See you soon.
622
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:24,935
Thank you.
See you next time.
623
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,895
We're a bit disappointed, because
I hoped we'd find an abscess,
624
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,455
Matt could lance it and Gary
would be feeling better already.
625
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,615
But we haven't,
and Gary's still in pain,
626
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,135
and it's a worrying time.
Let's look on the bright side.
627
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,695
Let's hope it's an abscess
and we can do something about it,
628
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,495
cos I wanna see Gary
back in the field.
629
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,295
Still to come...
630
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,135
Come on, you're OK.
Don't be frightened.
631
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,655
Peter's making new friends
through the week...
632
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,055
That's better in't it, eh?
Not so scary, then, am I?
633
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,335
And when Saturday comes,
seeing old ones...
634
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,975
your Bore scarf on. Yeah.
635
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,335
So you're a proper supporter.
Come on, you Bore.
636
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,135
...as he introduces the farmer
to the football.
637
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,615
Go on, lad, go on!
638
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,335
ALL: Oh!
639
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:23,360
Oh, sugar lumps!
640
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,855
CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY: Some pets just
don't like going away from home.
641
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,215
Come on, this way. This way.
Good girl.
642
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,575
This must be Luna.
It is.
643
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,935
And she wants to go home
before she's even come to see me.
644
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,855
She does, I know.
She doesn't really like coming in.
645
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:37,975
Go on, then.
646
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,135
And they see the vet
very much as the opposition.
647
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,735
Come on, Luna.
Come on, in here.
648
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,975
Come on, you're OK. Good girl.
Don't be frightened.
649
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,615
But Peter knows how to ease
those pre-match nerves...
650
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,655
Look, if I come down here,
is that better?
651
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,415
That's better in't it, eh?
Not so scary, then, am I, eh?
652
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,215
Do I smell nice? I probably do.
I probably do smell nice.
653
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,935
Says, "Oh, you're my type."
654
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,135
...so he can achieve his goal.
655
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,015
Right.
Good girl.
656
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,615
There now, Luna.
That's it, that's all it was.
657
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,975
There now.
658
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,895
Away from the practice,
football is Peter's big passion.
659
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,375
He's a lifelong supporter
of Middlesbrough FC,
660
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,055
and on this match day
at the Riverside Stadium,
661
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,575
he's on a behind-the-scenes tour.
662
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,255
I've had so many happy memories
of being here.
663
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,095
I've seen some fantastic games
of football over the years.
664
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,935
I feel like a kid in a sweetshop,
standing here now.
665
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,335
I went to university in Liverpool,
and I played football there,
666
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,815
I was captain
of the veterinary team.
667
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,215
But I've got to say,
the surfaces that we played on
668
00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:55,095
were nothing like this.
669
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,415
I'm just waiting for
Michael Carrick, the manager,
670
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,215
to come along now and say,
671
00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:01,855
I can only dream, can't I, really?
672
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,335
There's a lot of history in here,
a lot of history.
673
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,735
It's lovely to see it, really.
674
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,175
Sitting up in the stands,
each one of us is a manager.
675
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,535
I think I know best, as well.
676
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,335
I think I could be
a football club manager,
677
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,055
but I'd probably be
absolutely useless.
678
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,015
Well, I've got to say,
I think we played very well today,
679
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,855
and I think the scoreline
reflects that.
680
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,135
We're now leading the Championship
by 15 points.
681
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,495
Dream on, Peter.
682
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,215
Who used to follow Middlesbrough at
their original home, Ayresome Park.
683
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:52,615
The famous gates from
the old stadium were moved here,
684
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,855
which is where he's arranged
to meet a good friend
685
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,175
so he can introduce her
to his beloved Boro.
686
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,775
Mrs Green!
Hi, son, how are you?
687
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,375
So I see you're kitted out,
688
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,735
Come on, you Bore.
689
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,735
I'm hoping you're a lucky mascot.
I will be, lad.
690
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,495
They're playing Rotherham today,
so it should be quite a good game,
691
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,415
and I'll be very disappointed
if we don't win.
692
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,935
You want me to play for them?
Well...
693
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,935
THEY LAUGH
694
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,215
Shall we go have a look inside?
Might as well.
695
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:24,895
Jean's not been to a football match
before.
696
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,335
Thank you, sir.
697
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,295
But she does know plenty
about good grub.
698
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,895
Are you enjoying it?
Yeah.
699
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,855
It's nice.
700
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,815
And after meeting club legend,
Bernie Slaven...
701
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,255
Peter!
Good to see you.
702
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,735
How you doing?
Who's this young, charming lady?
703
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,855
How many years did you play?
704
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,135
I played here at Middlesbrough
eight years.
705
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,575
Eight year? Well clone, you.
706
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,815
...she's soon becoming steeped
in Boro history.
707
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,615
Games I've ever seen in my life.
708
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,095
Against a Romanian team
called Steaua Bucharest.
709
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,775
Lot of memories here, jean.
Aye, there will be, lad.
710
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,415
These are glory clays.
711
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,815
Well, Jean, it's time
we were in our seats now.
712
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,615
Let's go and watch it. Come on.
713
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,815
This is it. This is the big match.
714
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,255
Go on, lad, go on!
715
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,775
Oh, sugar lumps!
716
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,135
ALL: Oh!
717
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,575
Nearly.
718
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,135
He's only a whippersnapper.
719
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,855
CROWD ROAR
720
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,615
Foul! Foul!
721
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,375
That was a penalty,
if ever there was one!
722
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,455
Yeah, that was a penalty! Come on!
723
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,375
After a disappointing first half...
724
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,615
...Peter knows just what's needed.
725
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,975
Bit of a tradition
at football matches,
726
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,255
a pie at half time.
Oh, cheers, Pete.
727
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,735
Are you enjoying it?
728
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,015
You think they're still
warming up, do you?
729
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,175
Yeah.
730
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,375
PETER CHUCKLES
731
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,375
We started badly, and then
we've fell away since then.
732
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,575
Things aren't going too well
at the moment.
733
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,535
I'm feeling optimistic.
734
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,895
I'm not feeling optimistic, jean.
735
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,895
Come on, Bum,
show 'em what you're made of.
736
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,375
CHEERING
737
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,015
Good old Middlesbrough!
738
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,775
Go on!
739
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,415
One's no good now, though.
We need two.
740
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,335
I know we need two,
we'll get another.
741
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,335
Go on, lad.
742
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,295
CHEERING
743
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:40,495
Two-one! Two-one!
744
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,415
They haven't given it.
745
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,175
Did we get one?
746
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,215
No, he's given a foul.
Oh, sugar lumps!
747
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:48,855
Is that end of t'match?
748
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,295
That's it, jean.
749
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,495
Could have been better,
750
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,975
After all his years
treating jean's animals,
751
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,375
now Peter needs her help,
to cure "football fan-it is".
752
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,375
I think as football fans,
we either come away over the moon
753
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,975
or sick as parrots,
754
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,375
and I think today I'm a bit like
a sickly parrot, to be honest.
755
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,735
Have you enjoyed it?
Yes.
756
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,775
Ancl I'm gonna give you a close
of summat to cure your sickness.
757
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,255
HE LAUGHS
758
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,615
Right, Jean, let's get ourselves
home and warmed up, eh?
759
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,175
All right, lad.
Haway. Let's go.
760
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,375
Another day kicks off
at Cannon Hall Farm.
761
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,175
But Rob and Dave's star player,
Gary the donkey,
762
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,855
has been suffering
with a foot injury.
763
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,135
Last time I saw Gary,
he was really, really lame,
764
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,175
and frustratingly,
I couldn't pinpoint
765
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,055
exactly where that lameness
was coming from.
766
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,655
Would help Gary return to action.
767
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,375
Get this poultice on.
768
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,735
And then...
769
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,175
If you just hold that there
for me, please, Dave. Got it.
770
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,695
That's grand.
Ancl then just pull this round.
771
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,175
I'm hoping today
that the poulticing has worked
772
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,775
and he's a lot more comfortable
putting weight on his hooves.
773
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,135
Hiya, Matt. Afternoon, both.
You all right? How's things?
774
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,775
Nice to see you.
How's things? Likewise.
775
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:16,975
How's Gary?
776
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,335
I think he's getting
a little bit better on his feet.
777
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,975
Ruth's just getting him
on the halter now,
778
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,375
so do you want to have a look?
Yeah, let's go see how he's doing.
779
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,975
RUTH KISSES HER TEETH
780
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,855
He's got some weight on it now,
Matt, anyway.
781
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,135
Oh, he's standing better,
straightaway. Yeah.
782
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,895
To see a comparison to how he was,
783
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,775
just so I can see how much weight
784
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,735
He was chasing the girls around
yesterday morning,
785
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,535
so I think he has got that spring
back in his step a little bit.
786
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,455
Looking at Gary walking,
it's a massive improvement.
787
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,815
He's putting weight on it,
he is actually moving.
788
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,175
You can see
he's still uncomfortable,
789
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,775
but I'm going to get
that bandage off,
790
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,175
have a good look,
see what's going on.
791
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,695
Right, then, let's have a look.
792
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,455
Does it smell, Matt?
793
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,175
Not half as bad as it did.
794
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,455
What can you tell
from smelling it, then?
795
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,775
Just the level of infection?
796
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,535
Smell, I always think
it's a wonderful sense
797
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,095
to have in veterinary.
798
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,735
As much as it can make you feel
a bit sick,
799
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,975
it really gives you indications
of how things are looking.
800
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,015
I literally picked his hoof up
and I could smell it a mile off,
801
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,455
that yeasty, foisty infection.
802
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,815
Whereas now, I mean,
there's a bit of a whiff there,
803
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,095
certainly,
there's some discharge still,
804
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,175
but that's massively improved.
805
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,535
That's an old Herriot technique,
Matt.
806
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,895
I think the sniff test has been
around a long time, Rob. Yeah.
807
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,375
Gary's hoof doesn't look
half as bad as it did.
808
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,535
The poultice has revealed
that we potentially had
809
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,375
a bit of a diffuse infection
around this white line here
810
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,415
and where the sole is.
811
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,775
That would explain
812
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,495
with the hoof testers, because
there wasn't any specific abscess.
813
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,855
But what the poultice has clone
generally around this area,
814
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,775
it has worked really well
and drawn all that nastiness out.
815
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,455
That's a big relief, really.
Definitely. Definitely.
816
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,295
Give him a spray up?
817
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,855
Beautiful.
You can do my nails any clay.
818
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,255
Right, there you go, Gary.
Good boy.
819
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,175
Well, thank you very much, Matt.
No, thank you for your assistance,
820
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,095
and it's just a bit more time
to let the body heal up
821
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,295
and keep a close eye on him,
but fingers crossed,
822
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,815
And two weeks later...
823
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,815
I'm pleased to say that Gary
is fully recovered.
824
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,175
He's been here for a long time.
He's a legend.
825
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,375
He's had a few problems
over the years,
826
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,815
Come on, lad.
827
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,415
Come on. Let's have a look at you.
828
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,295
Look at that. He wasn't doing that
a couple of weeks ago!
829
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,175
Come on.
830
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:01,095
Whoa! There's a spring
in his step today, isn't there!
831
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,655
CLAPS
