00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,855
CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY:
Across Yorkshire's moors and dales,

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,215
the world's most famous vet
set the benchmark for animal care.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,975
And James Herriot's legacy lives on.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,015
COWS MOO

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,495
His former trainee Peter Wright...

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,135
All my life,
I've enjoyed doing this.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,495
...has been a Yorkshire vet
for over 40 years.

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,735
I'm getting the impression

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,375
you wouldn't take me on as an
assistant. Is that right? Probably!

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,415
THEY LAUGH

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,135
Peter's old partnerjulian Norton...

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,735
With a gloved hand

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,655
and a lubricated finger,
I'm well-equipped.

14
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,695
...now runs two practices...
Come on, young man!

15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,055
...one of them in the town
where Herriot worked,

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,575
surrounded by the North Yorkshire
landscape he loved.

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,655
Look at that! What a sheep!

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,135
And in the foothills
of the Pennines...

19
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,335
I'm armed and ready.

20
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,135
...a new generation
of town and country vets...

21
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,455
This is the closest tojames Bond
I think I'm ever getting.

22
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:56,095
...also uphold the Herriot ethos.

23
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,895
Another day in paradise.
The teams are united...

24
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,495
We can knock this off ourselves,

25
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,815
do you think?
PETER SPLUTTERS

26
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,775
...never taking their eyes
off the ball...

27
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,135
Oh! Howzat?

28
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,695
TH EY GROAN,
LAUGH

29
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,055
...as they help animals
of all shapes...

30
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,695
I didn't think
I'd be hugging a turkey today.

31
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,055
Phwoar!
..sizes...

32
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,015
That's more like pulling
a calf out.

33
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,855
...types...
Nearly clone. Nearly clone, Bertie.

34
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,775
...and temperaments.
Ow! He's bit me.

35
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,335
It's definitely not glamorous.

36
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,695
I spend far too much of my time
scrubbing testicles.

37
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,055
But it's varied.

38
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,575
SHE IMITATES
DONKEY BRAY

39
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,415
You ought to know better.
It's rarely easy,

40
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,295
but they continue
the Herriot tradition...

41
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,575
Whoa.
..treating all creatures...

42
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,895
That's it. There we go, there we go.

43
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,295
...great...
Aw, Merlin.

44
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,015
Come on!
..and small.

45
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,695
HE LAUGHS

46
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,335
From the moment he arrived
in Yorkshire,

47
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,615
James Herriot knew there was
no place on Earth like it.

48
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,135
From the delightful delicacy
of the Dales...

49
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,815
...to the windswept wildness
of the rugged moors.

50
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,775
On every level, he adored
the variations of the land.

51
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,655
But there were days
when he didn't appreciate

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,935
the variety
in mixed-practice vet work...

53
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,135
COWS MOO

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,095
...once asking...

55
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,735
"Why had I entered this profession?

56
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,415
"I could have gone in
for something easier and gentler...

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,895
"..like coal-mining
or lumber jacking."

58
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:51,975
And after hearing about a mum-to-be
with a serious problem...

59
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,295
...Matt knows he has yet another
physical job on his hands

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,655
at Gordon's farm.

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,455
We're going to look at a cow's foot.

62
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,055
When it comes to cows' feet,

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,495
there's obviously a lot of weight
riding on, you know,

64
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,175
four sets of two claws.

65
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,135
And it sounds like
it's getting to the stage where

66
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,655
it's really quite uncomfortable.

67
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,255
This cow, it's been lame all summer.

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,615
We've treat it with antibiotics
two or three times,

69
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:23,895
and it's got no better.

70
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,175
Ancl so we've asked Matt
to come and have a look at it

71
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,975
and see what he thinks.

72
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,295
Morning, Gordon. How's things?

73
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,815
Not too bad.
Good stuff.

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,855
What have we got?
It's been limping around. Yeah.

75
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,815
It's fairly well on in calf again
so I just need it to get right

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,255
for when it does calve, really.

77
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,175
Ah, OK. But it's that claw.
It's all swollen.

78
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,695
Ah, it's a mess, is that, in't it?

79
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,535
Right, I'll grab a bucket of water,
and I'll just grab a brush

80
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,575
and give it a clean.
Right.

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,055
Come on, lass.

82
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,815
Ooh, you can smell it, can't you?
That stinks.

83
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,815
COW MOOS
Sorry, girl.

84
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,655
It's all just overgrown
and round in there.

85
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,015
That's about double the size,
in't it?

86
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,295
Initially when I saw it,
lthought

87
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,815
"I wonder if we could manage it
by paring it right back."

88
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,615
But given the amount of tissue
that's building round it here,

89
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,495
and how swollen it is,

90
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,855
I think definitely get it taken off.

91
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,575
Cut it off?
Yeah.

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,135
From a distance, it just looks like
it's a bit of a small crack.

93
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,255
But that there goes so deep.

94
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:28,295
Ancl the actual infection,
you can smell it

95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,575
as soon as you start
getting up close to it.

96
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,055
Ancl the swelling around the sole

97
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,415
and around the bulb of that heel
is so massive

98
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,215
that the best route is
to take that claw off.

99
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,975
That's it. Keep that foot out.
There we go.

100
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,095
Putting weight on this
will be so uncomfortable

101
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,655
cos of the amount of infection
that's there

102
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,415
that's pressuring those nerves.

103
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,975
It's really quite deep,

104
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,015
so it'll be like
walking on, like, an open abscess.

105
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,815
COW MOOS

106
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,095
I suppose the closest thing
to a human surgery

107
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,815
is an ingrowing toenail.

108
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:01,695
I'm going to put a tourniquet
around here

109
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,175
to stop the blood flow
to make it a bit easier to work

110
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,855
cos there's a lot of blood supply
that's going to the feet.

111
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,215
Right, let's get
that local an aesthetic in.

112
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,255
So, you're just putting in
loads of an aesthetic

113
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:14,055
around the area
that we're going to cut.

114
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,255
A lot of these problems
can stem from

115
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:20,695
if they've stood on something
out and about in the field,

116
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,895
or they've had damage ancl there's
some muck that's got in there,

117
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,935
it just works its way up
through the hoof,

118
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,535
and it just destroys
all that structure that's there.

119
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,855
Ancl you just get past
the point of no return, really,

120
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,255
like we are with this girl.

121
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:34,095
COW MOOS

122
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,015
The risk is obviously,
with her being in calf,

123
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,855
it is a stressor. We hope that
she won't lose the calf.

124
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,295
Right. Numbed up, cleaned up,
tied up.

125
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,575
Good to go.

126
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,895
Over the past year...

127
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,655
...the practice in Kirkbymoorside

128
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,335
has undergone something
of a transformation.

129
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,695
A large extension has added
four new operating theatres...

130
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,535
...and state-of-the-art facilities...

131
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,975
...including a CT scanner...

132
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,615
You're in charge of this one.

133
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,135
Right. So, you're gonna press
that button there, hold it down.

134
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,295
...which Peter knows he might need
to help his next patient.

135
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,055
This is a first for me.

136
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,615
It's the first time I've personally
been involved with a CT scan.

137
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,615
I'm from an era where
CT scans weren't commonly used.

138
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,255
Like that?
That's it.

139
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,095
'Ancl they say you can't teach
an old dog new tricks.'

140
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,735
Temperamental. There we go.
That's it.

141
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,455
But under supervision of Eloise,

142
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,135
we're going to prove differently
this morning.

143
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,015
So, this is the technology bit.

144
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,735
You want your lasers on,
which is that one there.

145
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,735
Oh! This feels as if
I'm in a space-age world.

146
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:06,775
ELOISE CHUCKLES

147
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,335
Bit of a new challenge for everybody

148
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,895
cos no-one here's used CT
here before.

149
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,855
So it's been, yeah, exciting.

150
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,215
And it's good to go,
so you can press the green button

151
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,415
when you're ready.
All right.

152
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,455
This is great,
and I can see how it's working now.

153
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,655
You've got another button to press.
Have I? Now? Yeah.

154
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,775
That's what...
Another one. Another one?

155
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,215
Close.
There we go.

156
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,095
<i>And we're good to go.</i>

157
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,455
I wonder what my old boss
James Herriot

158
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,815
would've made of this.
I think he'd have been impressed.

159
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,095
Do you think us veterinary surgeons
might be replaced

160
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,095
by artificial intelligence?

161
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,895
Yeah. It would be perfect,
wouldn't it?

162
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,295
THEY LAUGH

163
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,815
Well, a veterinary nurse would say
that, wouldn't they? Oh, absolutely.

164
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,175
Peter's first ever patient
in the CT scanner

165
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,215
will be nine-year-old Labrador Finn

166
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,095
whose owners Nigel and Barbara
are worried about an ongoing issue.

167
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,455
He's got a problem
with his left eye.

168
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,055
It's started to bulge.
Ancl he's come in today, erm,

169
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,295
when we'll see exactly
what's going on behind there.

170
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,775
PETER: Morning.
Morning.

171
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,135
Would you like to come through?
I would.

172
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,495
He's a lovely dog. I've had
lots of clogs over the years,

173
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,215
and it's never easy at all
when one of them becomes sick

174
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,055
because they rely on you so much

175
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,535
to look after them
and do the right thing.

176
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,015
Are you hiding behind your dad,
Finn? I understand. I do understand.

177
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,095
You gonna come and see me, Finn?
You gonna come and see me?

178
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,455
This is the eye. Yes.
The left eye here.

179
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,495
It's getting bigger,
and it can't be right.

180
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,375
It is quite obvious
something's developing. Yes.

181
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,255
Ancl the most likely thing is

182
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,135
that we've got something
not very good there.

183
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,935
But it may be
that we can do something about it.

184
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,255
We'll do the scan,
and then we'll have a chat with you.

185
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,535
Then you know where we are as well.

186
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:52,375
There's a good boy.

187
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,775
Off you go.
Good boy. Good boy.

188
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,415
Ancl then we'll give you a ring.
OK. Come on, Finn.

189
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,735
We've got concerns here about Finn.

190
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,735
His eye's been
increasingly a problem.

191
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,335
He's nestling into me now.
He is. Bit more settled.

192
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,055
You are, aren't you?
You're fine, aren't you?

193
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,615
We have something
that's growing behind the eye,

194
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,855
and the most likely thing is
some form of cancer.

195
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,335
That looks pretty good, doesn't it?
I'd say that's pretty bang on.

196
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,415
Right, then.
Perfect.

197
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,255
This is the moment of truth

198
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,735
to see whether Finn's mass
has been retained in the eye socket

199
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,575
or whether it's spread elsewhere.
So it's a...

200
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,135
...a nervous moment. A big moment.
It is a big moment.

201
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,455
This is a reconstruction
of Finn's skull.

202
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,815
Ah, now... I might have known
something's going on here.

203
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,535
We have got a mass there.
It looks that way. Yeah, definitely.

204
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,015
Oh. That's a concern.

205
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,175
This scan does show
we've got an abnormality

206
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,935
in the bone socket
where the eye sits.

207
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,575
There is a possibility the mass
has progressed into the brain.

208
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,935
Ancl therefore, it would mean surgery
was not really going to help Finn.

209
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,255
These are going to go away for
a professional interpretation.

210
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,455
They are, yes.

211
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,335
Ancl they'll be able to give us
a full report of what they've found.

212
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,375
Yes.

213
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,895
We just need an expert now

214
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,415
to tell us whether we can do
something useful to help Finn.

215
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,775
Coming up...

216
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,975
Got him.
Got him? Yeah.

217
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,295
...heavy lamb lifting
for Shona and Rohin.

218
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,975
I fully expected the surgery,

219
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,255
but I didn't expect
the cardio workout.

220
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,095
Matt's showing some brawn, too.

221
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,135
Three, two, one...
CUTTING SOUND

222
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,615
But it's more about beauty
at the dog show...

223
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,175
Do you put mascara on him?

224
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,175
...where you never bite the hand
or wee on the foot

225
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,655
of the vet that judges you.

226
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,895
Oh, he's peed on my feet!
Did you see that? Cheeky beggar.

227
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,535
CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY:
Matt's made the journey

228
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,215
from the Huddersfield hospital
to Gordon's farm...

229
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,975
We're just giving it
a good scrub up.

230
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,935
...where he needs to remove

231
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,855
a pregnant cow's infected,
painful claw.

232
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,775
Well, the local's worked anyway.

233
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,815
There's so much swelling here,
if we were to cut it off there,

234
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,255
we'd still leave
some of that infected hoof behind,

235
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,615
so we're taking off
the whole chunk of it

236
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,655
so that's what left
is completely clear of the floor,

237
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:46,055
it's easy to bandage up,
and it heals really well.

238
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,215
Three, two, one...

239
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,535
Ooh. Well, you can see
all t'ming that's in there.

240
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,135
It's horrible, isn't it, that?

241
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,655
So, you can see there
it's nice and flush,

242
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,535
we've got rid of
all of that infected material,

243
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,295
so this will all heal over
and just be like a big pink blob,

244
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,535
and she'll be able to bear weight
on that hoof.

245
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:17,935
Push that leg right through, Gordon,
and I can get it all dressed up.

246
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,495
Bit of waterproofing for it,

247
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,015
because the last thing we want
is for this to get wet.

248
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,735
Beautiful.

249
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,255
Right. Pleased with that.

250
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,695
Not the prettiest patchwork,
but it's functional.

251
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,135
So, this here is how deep
that problem was going.

252
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,375
Quick flick and she's away.

253
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,135
Ey up, watch me car!

254
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,015
Lovely.

255
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,055
She should be back up and running
in the next couple of weeks,

256
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,415
we'll come back, have a look,
and see how we're getting on.

257
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,695
Do that, good job. Lovely.
Beautiful.

258
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,175
I feel a lot better
now that she's had that claw off.

259
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,735
She will be a bit sore, obviously,
where it's started to heal over,

260
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,055
but hopefully
we're well on the mend.

261
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,335
At the practice in Kirkbymoorside...

262
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,255
after Peter performed
his first ever CT scan

263
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,935
on Finn the Labrador's bulging eye,

264
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,255
he now has
the expert radiologist's opinion.

265
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,655
"Personally,
I consider this presentation

266
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:34,655
"a significant challenge
and the risk of complications high."

267
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,935
And he has to decide
how best to treat Finn.

268
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,575
As we expected, we do have
the cancerous mass behind the eye.

269
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,975
At the back of the eye,
that's the optic nerve

270
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,775
and you can see it's now surrounded
and engulfed by this cancerous mass

271
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,055
and that's what's basically
causing our problem.

272
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,495
There's a good lad.

273
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,935
If we remove the eye
so we can get to the mass,

274
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,175
it may be that we are able
to get all this tumour out.

275
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,375
Over the years,
I've had to take many eyes out.

276
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,215
But this is the first time I've had
a tumour to do behind the eye.

277
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,815
So, despite the fact that we got
a fantastic visual aid

278
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,455
of CT technology,
I'm still slightly apprehensive

279
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,735
as to what we're actually
going to find,

280
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,895
and the extent of this mass.

281
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,495
So the pressure is on Peter
and Nurse Katie.

282
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,055
We're OK to go ahead?
All good.

283
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,895
The plan
is to get the whole mass out,

284
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,175
and I think the best way
of doing that

285
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,775
is to remove the eye first.

286
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,415
We are working a little bit blind,
initially, in this situation,

287
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,895
so I've just got to proceed
with caution.

288
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,335
I can feel that tumour behind now.
How's he doing?

289
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,695
He's a bit reactive, bit painful
where that tumour is.

290
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,015
Where that tumour is, yeah.
My fingers on it now. Yeah.

291
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,735
The problem is, the mass
is wrapped around the optic nerve.

292
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,455
Is that causing pain?
A little bit, yeah.

293
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,735
Yeah, I'm not surprised.

294
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,895
Right, there's the eye out,
and I can now get to the tumour.

295
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,255
It's about the size of
a medium-sized grape.

296
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,855
Problem is, knowing how much tension
I can put on that optic nerve now.

297
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,175
Yeah. Because that can cause
blindness in the other eye,

298
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,095
and that will be a disaster.

299
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,015
Bugger.

300
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,415
That's a big blood vessel.

301
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,255
Can't quite...

302
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,175
This isn't
a straightforward procedure.

303
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,935
I may ask for a little bit
of extra help here

304
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,295
so we can get it just right.

305
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,735
Given the complex nature
of the surgery...

306
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,695
...Peter's called in
Practice Director john.

307
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,495
Put your finger in,
you can feel the mass. Oh, yeah.

308
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,215
If I put the tissue forceps
on the thing, pull it,

309
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,575
and then you just go
a bit further back.

310
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,935
You're ahead of me now, john.
Yeah.

311
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,295
Cos we're limited how much traction

312
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,695
we can put on that optic nerve
anyway.

313
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,175
We're just working round
the back of it to free this mass.

314
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,175
It's a long way back, isn't it,
in that socket?

315
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,935
It's not for the faint-hearted,
is it? No.

316
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,335
It's coming loose now.
We're winning.

317
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,695
Do you think that's it?
Yeah.

318
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,215
We've got it. Oh!

319
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,575
It's entire.
Good.

320
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,255
I think we may have been lucky here.

321
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,375
Right.
Got to get this packed, quickly.

322
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,655
We have had a serious amount
of haemorrhage,

323
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,655
and this was explained
from the detail on the scan,

324
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,135
so we've had to use pressure
to stem bleeding.

325
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,855
So, everything the scan results
have told us

326
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,535
have been totally accurate.

327
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,495
HAPPY?
As happy as ever, Kate.

328
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,135
On a scale of one to ten,
I'm about a three now.

329
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,095
Well, at least it's not a one.

330
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:06,455
No, it's not a one. Well,
yes, you're one of these people

331
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,415
that look on the bright side
of life, aren't you?

332
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,415
I can tell.
Yes.

333
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:14,535
It's been a bit of
a roller-coaster ride, really.

334
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,495
Got the mass out,
but it's not clear cut

335
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,495
whether we're out of the woods yet.

336
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,415
We've just got to hope that
I haven't put too much traction

337
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,495
on the optic nerve
to cause problems in the other eye,

338
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,095
but hopefully
he will pull through OK.

339
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,735
It's the weekend, and Julian
has dog duties of his own,

340
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,015
which should be
a little more enjoyable.

341
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,055
BARKS

342
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,175
I've swapped North Yorkshire
for North Wales,

343
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,535
and I've come to help judge
a dog show,

344
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,975
that's being organised
by a friend of mine - Liz.

345
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,695
Hello, sweetheart.

346
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,135
I have clone
this sort of thing before

347
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,135
and I found it rather stressful.

348
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,295
Everybody thinks their own dog
has got the prettiest eyes

349
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,575
and the cutest face.

350
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,935
Right, then, here we go.

351
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,255
I'm going to introduce you.
This is Julian.

352
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,295
So, there's a weight
of responsibility

353
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,935
about making that final decision
who gets the red rosette.

354
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,775
Howay, move them quicker,
you can go faster than that.

355
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,895
JULIAN CH UCKLES

356
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,695
Hello, you look nice.

357
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,655
Who's this one?
Chester. Chester!

358
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,335
Coco, you look very happy
to be here.

359
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:41,695
How old is Coco?
She's ten next month.

360
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,975
Ten. I thought this was for
two to six-year-olds.

361
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,375
Oh, it doesn't matter,
just crack on.

362
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,575
So, first, I've decided,
is this happy little fellow here.

363
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,935
The Lhasa?
Yeah.

364
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,135
Because he came up
and wanted to sit on my knee.

365
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,495
You're first.
Well clone.

366
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,015
But with red rosette
safely secured...

367
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,895
Oh, he's peed on my feet!
Did you see that?

368
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,175
...Chester shows his true colours.

369
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,855
That's the thanks I get for that!

370
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,375
Cheeky beggar.

371
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,415
These are new shoes as well.

372
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,775
Can I change my mind?
Third. No. I can't believe that.

373
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,295
Luckily,
they're actually waterproof,

374
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,695
but some of it's even gone
on my sock,

375
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,895
so that's not a very good start
to the clay.

376
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,495
This is the handsomest dog.
The most handsome dog.

377
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,655
Liz tells me it's the one
I'd like to take out for...

378
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,055
well, for a meal,

379
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,015
but I don't usually do
that sort of thing with clogs.

380
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,015
Hello, hello.

381
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,255
Nice eyes, very nice eyes.

382
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,975
Do you put mascara on him?

383
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,735
THEY GIGGLE

384
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,575
Marley, ooh, that is...
that is a face, isn't it?

385
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,615
Good boy.
That's a very handsome face.

386
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,015
Which one do you thinks?

387
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,575
Right. So, the first one
is the fox terrier.

388
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,855
I knew you were going to pick him.
Hello.

389
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,215
He's just a star.

390
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,095
And actually,
he does have the most handsome face.

391
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,495
Well clone, Norman.

392
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,855
But now, all eyes are on Julian,

393
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,615
for the decision
everyone's been waiting for.

394
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,655
It's the Best In Show,

395
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,975
so all the previous winners
from the different categories

396
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,975
are coming back into the ring,

397
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,255
and I've got to pick
the best of the best.

398
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,415
So it's gonna be hard.

399
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,975
They're all looking at me
expectantly, erm...

400
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,775
Yeah, I think I've decided...

401
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,295
...but it's totally out of proportion
for the size of the dog

402
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,895
cos the winner is...

403
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,735
Molly over there...
Oh!

404
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,455
...because she's so sweet,
and that's bigger than her.

405
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,735
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE,
MOLLY SQUEAKS

406
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:49,855
So, well clone, Molly.

407
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,575
Congratulations, that's yours.
just what you want.

408
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,015
And after all the pressure
and dog pee,

409
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,375
Julian has a little prize
of his own.

410
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,175
Oh, wow, thank you.
Ooh, wow! Whiskey - "deluxe".

411
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,455
I do, I drink everything,
absolutely everything.

412
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,735
THEY LAUGH

413
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,535
It was a bit of a trek out of
my normal territory of Yorkshire,

414
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,895
but I knew it
was gonna be a great clay.

415
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,735
Coming to dog shows
is always a lot of fun.

416
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,255
Nobody seemed to be disappointed
with the result,

417
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,015
and there's some happy clogs

418
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,295
and some happy owners,
so it's been a good clay.

419
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,935
BARKING

420
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,735
In Huddersfield,

421
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,175
since qualifying as a Yorkshire vet
four years ago...

422
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,375
That's it use full length of wire.

423
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,375
...Rohin has helped and learnt from
his colleagues.

424
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,135
You have to get right into
your shoulder. Right.

425
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,895
Got it.
Right, don't let go.

426
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,375
And whenever he's hit a wall...

427
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,375
We'll give her an injection,
it will sedate her.

428
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,215
Once she's relaxed, then we'll be
able to dismantle the wall properly.

429
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,695
...he's managed to knock it down.

430
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,335
Steady, steady, steady.
Steady, steady, steady.

431
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,815
Today, there's another
huge, new challenge for him.

432
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,975
<i>LAMB BLEATS</i>

433
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,335
All right, Larry, boy,
we're here now.

434
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:15,375
Vicky's just arrived at the hospital
with her pet lamb, Larry.

435
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,415
Larry came to me
actually before he was born,

436
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,655
so we rescued two ewes
from a neglect situation,

437
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,135
so he was born at my house.

438
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,055
He's quite clever
and a little bit cheeky and naughty.

439
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,535
Morning, Vicky.
Good morning, nice to meet you.

440
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,895
How's it going? Nice to see you.
Yeah, good, thank you.

441
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,895
How is Larry? Is he fed up?
He's very fed up.

442
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,855
He's obviously starved,
so he's been very vocal about it.

443
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,335
LARRY BLEATS

444
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:41,615
Larry's every right to be vocal.

445
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,615
He's here to be castrated.

446
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,095
He's living with other females,
so we don't want any more lambs.

447
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:50,135
So unless he went to live elsewhere,
really, this was the only option.

448
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,455
I'll be a little bit on edge
waiting for that phone call

449
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,535
later on today, for sure.

450
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,415
And it isn't going to be
a routine operation.

451
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,695
Definitely just one.

452
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,335
Larry the lamb
has got an unusual problem

453
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:06,295
that only one of his testicles
descended on the outside

454
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,615
and the other one could be anywhere.

455
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,455
It could be deep inside the abdomen.

456
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,495
There is a risk
that if that testicle stays in there

457
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,695
for years and years,
it can become cancerous as well.

458
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,535
It's the first time this operation
has ever been performed

459
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,775
at Donaldson's...

460
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,935
SHONA: Hello, Larry. How you doing?

461
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,295
...and Rohin
has some experienced help.

462
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,575
So, we've got Shona
giving us a hand.

463
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,895
Probably a bit of a role reversal.

464
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,295
When I was a student,
it was the other way round.

465
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,975
SHONA: I'm not very good
at being nurse.

466
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,535
<i>Nurse Shana, on the 'yob.
Yeah.</i>

467
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,695
Sheep have
a really long digestive tract,

468
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,055
and that means
when you're looking in the abdomen

469
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,375
trying to find a testicle
that shouldn't be there,

470
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,495
it makes it really challenging.

471
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,935
I'll save your back. I'll carry him.
STRAINS: I've got him.

472
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,975
I've got him... I think.

473
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,615
You all right?
Can you lift that back end up, so...

474
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,935
Yeah. It's all right, I've got him.
Got him? Yeah.

475
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,655
Right, let's go.

476
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,095
ROHIN: 'They are higher risk
with an aesthetic,

477
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:00,575
'so you don't take it lightly.

478
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,015
'You only do this sort of surgery

479
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,295
'if you've really carefully
thought it through.'

480
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,775
I fully expected the surgery,

481
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,055
but I didn't expect
the cardio workout.

482
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,015
<i>BREATH'! CHUCKLE</i>

483
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,855
It's faffy,
cos you're not prepared in advance.

484
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,695
Cos you've never clone one before.

485
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,055
The plan now, we need to try and see

486
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,415
if we can try and get a tube
into his airway.

487
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,975
LARRY BLEATS
Is that in your way? Yep.

488
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:29,255
It makes it really difficult
because the mouth is quite long,

489
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,055
so you can't see the airway as
easily as you can in a dog or a cat.

490
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,975
If you lift the soft palette
with the tube, can you see?

491
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,935
I think I can just about
make it out now.

492
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,295
Right, we'll get him settled.

493
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,655
Erm, do you wanna pass
your stomach tube, Rohin?

494
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,695
ROHIN: The stomach contents,
they're very likely to regurgitate

495
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,375
during this op,
and if that goes into their lungs,

496
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,415
that can make them very ill
and even pass away afterwards.

497
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,055
So, during a long an aesthetic,

498
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,655
to have this in position,
reduces that risk of complications.

499
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,575
Heart rate's still pretty fast,
to be fair.

500
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,215
Look at the amount of drool
he's producing here.

501
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,175
All of that saliva is coming out.

502
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,975
If that goes back inside
and reaches his lungs,

503
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,535
it can cause huge problems.

504
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,855
Do you think it goes over here?
I'm pretty confident it's there.

505
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,095
So, I'd better get gowned up now.

506
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,375
Right, you happy, Megan?

507
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,655
As happy as I'll ever be.
There's only one thing left to do.

508
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,455
She's making, like, a...
MIMICS LABOURED BREATH

509
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,655
...a turkey with breathing trouble...

510
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:40,175
...and a vet with hearing problems.

511
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,775
I can't really hear anything,
what...?

512
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,135
Julian, you're not that old, listen!

513
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,495
While for Peter,
it's all about the vision.

514
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,855
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed
that we haven't got a blind dog.

515
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,055
Do you mind if I sit down, Finn?

516
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,975
CH RISTOPH ER TIMOTHY:
Near Huddersfield,

517
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,655
Matt's heading back
to Gordon's farm...

518
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,895
where recently, he removed
a pregnant cow's badly-infected toe.

519
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,935
It can be a shock to the system

520
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,375
when they're used to putting weight
on two toes,

521
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,855
but all being well,
it won't have affected her too much.

522
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,575
Morning, Gordon.

523
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,335
You all right?
Matt, all right?

524
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:29,095
Good to see you again.
Aye. Not bad.

525
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:30,735
Right... Ooh, hello!

526
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,015
Getting on all right, aren't we?

527
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,495
Tell you what she's putting weight
on it well, isn't she?

528
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,335
She's getting around.
Yeah.

529
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,695
She's held her calf as well,
by t'looks of things.

530
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,655
Another few month, we'll have a
little baby on the ground, won't we?

531
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,095
I mean, it were such a mess,
wasn't it, that claw?

532
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:52,455
You do always wonder how well
they're gonna heal

533
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,175
when they get that infect...
and horrible,

534
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,735
but she's just not bothered, is she?
No, it's healed up grand.

535
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,215
It has. No swelling.

536
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,615
Look at her.

537
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,855
So, yeah, the body forms

538
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,215
quite a nice little packing
around the end of that stump,

539
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,055
and all the skin
just slowly contracts down over it,

540
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,255
so I'm really pleased
as to how that's healing up.

541
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,455
Everything's clearing round nicely.

542
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,335
It's always nice to see them
when they can walk again

543
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,495
because when they have toes
that are that infected and horrible

544
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,215
and they're not responding to
anything, it must be uncomfortable.

545
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,575
But she's weight-bearing on it,
there's no infection.

546
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,335
She can clearly
get about quite well,

547
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,695
so it's not disrupting her life
too much.

548
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,655
And she's clue to calve soon
within the few months as well,

549
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,735
so... bonus.

550
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,175
It's a tense day at the hospital
in Huddersfield.

551
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,175
ROHIN: I haven't felt anything yet.

552
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,535
Like you say,
just feel along the body wall. Yeah.

553
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,375
Rohin's performing challenging
surgery on Larry the pet lamb,

554
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,455
with Shona on hand to help.

555
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,215
Shall I go and scrub, just in case?
Yeah, just in case.

556
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,095
In a sheep-first for the practice,
they need to remove a testicle

557
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:05,935
that's stuck inside Larry's abdomen.

558
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,855
Usually, the testicle
is much smaller than the one

559
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,175
that isn't retained.

560
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,455
Ancl that's just another level
of challenge here,

561
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,855
trying to see if we can locate it.

562
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,695
There is no other way
to describe it,

563
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,455
we just have to fish around

564
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,655
and feel a testicle-like structure
and bring it out.

565
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,815
Definitely the most difficult
castration I've ever signed up to.

566
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,375
MONITOR BEEPS

567
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,535
Ah-ha!

568
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,975
I think I feel something.

569
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,415
It is pretty deep in the abdomen,
though,

570
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,295
so it's trying to see
if we can bring it out.

571
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,975
It's just underneath all this stuff
around here,

572
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,255
there is something
that feels pretty suspicious.

573
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,895
There it is.

574
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,335
I don't think I've ever been that
happy to see a testicle in my life.

575
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,895
MEGAN: Shall I tell Shona not to...

576
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,415
You can tell Shona not to scrub,
if you like, yeah.

577
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,895
SHONA: Yay, me leaving helped!

578
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,495
SHONA LAUGHS

579
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,415
SHONA, SING-SONG:
Rohin has found the testicle.

580
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,095
ROHIN: Ancl look how tiny it is.

581
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,455
So, we've got it,
it was really low down.

582
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,815
It's been quite hard
to get this out of the abdomen

583
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,095
and in a position where we can
remove it safely.

584
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,215
There we go, it's coming now.

585
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,255
So that is a testicle there...
that's come out.

586
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,695
Good job, Rohin.
Thanks for the moral support.

587
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,495
That's all right.
I'm glad it's gone well.

588
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,895
Got to close him up now so...
Yeah.

589
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,175
Hopefully, a nice recovery.
"we'll keep going.

590
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,535
We'll go and do some horses' teeth.

591
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,935
See you later.
See you later, guys.

592
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,655
While Shona's work here is done,

593
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,135
there's still plenty to do
for the rest of the team.

594
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,495
ROHIN: They are very prone
to getting wound breakdown,

595
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,255
cos this sheep is not gonna be
well-rested

596
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,935
in the way a dog would be,

597
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,215
so we're putting quite
a few layers in there,

598
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,815
make sure this is gonna stay closed.

599
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,175
Do you wanna snip that?

600
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,535
Now we're gonna have to
get rid of the other testicle.

601
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,975
There we go - and just look at
the size difference.

602
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,495
So that's what we've just removed/

603
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,535
That's how big it should be.

604
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,895
That's the challenge we had.

605
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,455
Here it comes.

606
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,255
Does this make you cringe? No?

607
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,655
MEGAN: It should make you cringe.
It-It makes me cringe.

608
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,215
THEY CHUCKLE
Yeah. There we go.

609
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,975
We can't relax until he's woken up

610
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,295
because they are just higher risk
than most animals

611
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,055
at having problems on recovery.

612
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,055
Good stuff.

613
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,535
What a good boy.

614
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,735
What a miserable 24 hours
Larry's had.

615
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,135
No food, surgery,
but in the long run,

616
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,295
it will all be worth it.

617
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,295
You getting up now?
Steady, steady, mate.

618
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,215
So, I think what I'll do
is carry him back downstairs

619
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,215
to his little recovery pen
that we've got for him.

620
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,455
Nice clean bed.

621
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,655
Right, Larry.

622
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,975
That's it, steady.

623
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,655
Are you gonna stand up?

624
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,015
Up we get, there we go.

625
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,775
He's wobbly, but he's doing OK.

626
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,415
So far, so good.

627
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,175
You know, just get him to heal
over the next few weeks.

628
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,455
I know Vicky's
gonna keep a close eye on him

629
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,895
cos she loves him so much.

630
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,255
Ancl then, all being well,
he'll just have a normal life,

631
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,295
live with his mates in the field
as she always wanted him to.

632
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,895
Across Yorkshire,

633
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,815
it's six weeks since Peter removed
Finn the Labrador's eye,

634
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,215
and the cancerous lump revealed
by his first CT scan.

635
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,815
That looks pretty good, doesn't it?
I'd say that's pretty bang-on.

636
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,975
PETER: 'One of the big concerns was

637
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,615
'that by putting traction
on his optic nerve,

638
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,935
'I could cause problems in
the other eye and cause blindness.'

639
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,055
So, I'm just
keeping my fingers crossed

640
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,535
that he's doing OK
ancl that we haven't got a blind dog.

641
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,855
So with Nigel and Finn
living close by,

642
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,695
he wants an old-fashioned,
personal scan.

643
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,855
Hello.
Who's this?

644
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,215
I was wondering
how he was getting on,

645
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,015
but I think
the proof of the pudding's there.

646
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,735
Yes. It did.

647
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,615
Do you mind if I sit down, Finn?
'Ey? Good boy.

648
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,455
'Ey? I can see the eye,
it looks absolutely fine.

649
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,135
No, there's nothing wrong with
that other eye at all. Excellent.

650
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,775
His pupil is constricting
and dilating as it should be.

651
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,375
He follows you about
with the good eye.

652
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,095
He's not lost
that peripheral vision. Right.

653
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,375
Even though
he's missing the eye here,

654
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,695
he's still aware...

655
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,535
Yes.
..of where things are.

656
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,215
It's not bothered him iota,
losing the eye.

657
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,335
Do you know, animals
just get on with things, don't they?

658
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,575
They don't make a fuss.

659
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,095
There's no hypochondriacs
in the veterinary world.

660
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,775
<i>THEY CHUCKLE
No'.!</i>

661
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,135
He's very loyal, isn't he?

662
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,375
I mean, the way he's cuddling up
to you there, you're his hero.

663
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,295
<i>THEY CHUCKLE</i>

664
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,735
Finn's been a working dog
all his life,

665
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,575
but this year, he'll be ten,

666
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,295
and that's enough for somebody who's
been out three or four clays a week.

667
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,055
So, a long and happy retirement
for him.

668
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,575
But one old dog isn't quite ready
to put his feet up just yet.

669
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,375
After 40-odd years in practice,
this is a first for me,

670
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,055
carrying out the scan,
and I don't wanna be left behind.

671
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,855
Yes, I could be considered to be
a bit of a dinosaur,

672
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,895
but in this case,
it was particularly useful

673
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,335
because Finn is going to lead
a fantastic life now.

674
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,695
It's lovely to see him
looking so well

675
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,695
and pretty much back to normal.

676
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,335
Yeah, yeah, very much so.

677
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,215
Thank you very much.
Very good.

678
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,695
Nice to see you.
Ancl you.

679
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,055
Ancl I'll leave you in peace, Finn,
is that all right?

680
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,535
I'll leave you in peace.
Good boy.

681
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:57,895
<i>Near wet her by...</i>

682
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,015
Come on then, guys!

683
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,415
...Nicky has an ever-increasing
family of feathered friends.

684
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,735
So, I am mum to -
chicken and turkey-wise -

685
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,295
at least 20 at the moment,

686
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,655
but obviously,
they're gonna increase.

687
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,295
Maybe 23,
just don't tell my husband.

688
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,775
But there are no secrets
between lovebirds Bod and Fanny.

689
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,775
I love my turkeys.

690
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,135
I know people
don't quite necessarily agree

691
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,135
cos they look quite ugly,
but I only have two,

692
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,415
and they are obsessed
with each other,

693
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,695
they love each other.

694
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:33,215
They mate for life

695
00:34:33,240 --> 00:34:36,095
and when they lose their girl
or boy,

696
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,415
they never mate again.

697
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,775
That's why I only have two.

698
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,695
He would die without her -
he'd die of a broken heart.

699
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,535
So this is an especially
worrying time.

700
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,335
Today, Nicky's had to bring Fanny
to the practice to see Julian.

701
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,975
Are you not feeling very well?

702
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,055
'Ey? You feel a bit rough?

703
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,135
She's been coughing or sneezing.
WOMAN: Yeah.

704
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,735
Now, she's making like a...

705
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,935
MIMICS LABOURED BREATHING
..noise.

706
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,255
I'm worried. I know people
are gonna take t' mick out of me,

707
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,775
but I've raised her from a baby
and, well, she's my pet.

708
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,135
It's OK. Good girl.

709
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:23,775
JULIAN: Do you want to come through?

710
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,975
Hello, come through.

711
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,415
This is Fanny.

712
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,295
So, she's a pet... a pet turkey,
is that right? Yeah.

713
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,735
<i>And so, what's Fanny up to?</i>

714
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,575
It's the breathing and the coughing
that she's got.

715
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,255
She's been like this
a couple of weeks.

716
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,935
All the other birds
are totally fine.

717
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,215
I'll get my stethoscope, shall I?
Right.

718
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,455
It's all right, babes.

719
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,055
GIRL: It's OK.
Good girl.

720
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:57,935
I can't really
hear anything, what...?

721
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,295
Julian, you're not that old, listen!

722
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,575
Oh, I can hear it
when I put me ear... Yeah.

723
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,055
There is some noise, isn't there?

724
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,975
There's like a vibrating noise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

725
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,415
Down there, it sounds OK,

726
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,135
but I'm guessing just...

727
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,615
It sounds upper, doesn't it?

728
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,735
Oh, yeah, you can hear it,
actually, right up in the throat.

FAN NY CROAKS

730
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,975
Ooh, there you go,
did you hear that, Julian?

731
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,735
Oh, it's get... it's getting worse.

732
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,935
Still to come...
So how has everything been?

733
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,615
...Rohin's back in the ring
with Larry the lamb.

734
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,175
There you go, mate, that's it.

735
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,495
And don't mention the C-word...

736
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,015
When you think of Christmas clay,

737
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,535
the muscles on the leg
are quite big.

738
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,295
"Julian's turkey troubles continue.

739
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,695
Shut your ears, babe,
don't listen to him.

00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:47,935
I can't believe you just said that.

CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY:
At the practice in Wetherby...

742
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,255
I didn't think I'd be
hugging a Turkey today.

743
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,575
THEY LAUGH

744
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,495
"Julian's examining Nicky's turkey,
Fanny,

745
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,015
who has breathing problems.

746
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,015
JULIAN: Any discharge from her eyes
or from her nose?

747
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,375
No, nothing like that.
No.

748
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,295
DEEP CROAK
Good girl.

749
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,655
They do get upper respiratory
infections.

750
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,015
They do? Right.
Yeah, or they can do.

751
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,935
Um, and that would be typically
rhinitis, laryngitis,

752
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,775
an infection or inflammation
in the back of the throat.

753
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,135
I mean, I think probably
the easiest thing would be

754
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,775
to get her on some antibiotics.

755
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,495
I'll get you some injections
to give.

756
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,175
Will you show me where to put it?

757
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,055
I'm gonna do the first one
and then you can see.

758
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,855
OK, thanks.

759
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,655
So, I'd just go down there,
just in the leg.

760
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,575
Just in the sort of chunky bit
there. Mm-hm.

761
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,295
And their muscles,
when you think of Christmas clay,

762
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,615
their muscles on the leg
are quite big.

763
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,535
Julian!

764
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,295
Shut your ears, babe,
don't listen to him.

765
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,855
CH UCKLING
I can't believe you just said that.

766
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,335
I know, but I'm just thinking...
Fanny, don't listen.

767
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,895
I don't look at your thigh and go,

768
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,735
"Ooh, yeah,
that'll be nice on Sunday".

769
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,335
No, but... you're not gonna eat me,
are you?

770
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,655
LAUGHTER
Not that we're gonna eat this one.

771
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,935
Sorry, little... little Fanny.

772
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,015
I didn't mean to be... be rude.

773
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,135
I don't think she's taken
any offence at all, has she?

774
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,695
But mention Christmas to a turkey...

775
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,455
and you might get some gravy.

776
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:25,175
Oh, Julian, I'm really sorry.

777
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,455
What's happened?

778
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,655
We've had, um, an accident.

779
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,775
You know what that is, Julian?

780
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,895
That's punishment for saying
about her having a Christmas leg.

781
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,535
I know, she's getting her own back.
LAUGHTER

782
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,895
Come on.
NICKY STRAINS

783
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,815
Right we are.
That's it.

784
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,015
Thank you.
Bye.

785
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,055
She just probably wants
to get back to her husband.

786
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,175
Not all of us do, but she does,
she does love him.

787
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,695
I think that is actually
the very first and only time

788
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:55,935
I've treated a turkey.

789
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,335
Any respiratory issue
can be a very serious problem,

790
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,735
so I think it was important
that we got some treatment underway.

791
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,335
Thanks, guys. See you later.
WOMAN: Thank you, bye.

792
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,575
JULIAN: 'Fingers crossed,

793
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,175
'they're gonna make
a good improvement.'

794
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,695
just over a week later...

795
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,455
Come on, babies! I know.

796
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,295
...Fanny's injections
haven't been a walk in the park.

797
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,815
Or garden.

798
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,015
The first clay, which was
the next clay after seeing Julian,

799
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,375
she was up that tree.

800
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,175
Ancl my husband climbed it
to catch her to give her injection

801
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,655
for her antibiotic, and he fell
out of the tree and hurt himself.

802
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,015
So, er...
SHE LAUGHS

803
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,375
Yeah, the first clay
didn't go so well!

804
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,695
But after a painful start
to treatment, there's good news.

805
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:54,335
All the croaking,

806
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,975
the noise that was in her throat,
everything's gone.

807
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,095
Ancl now she's back to normal!

808
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,255
COCKEREL CROWS
Aren't you, baby girl?

809
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,695
And it's not just Nicky
who's delighted Fanny's better...

810
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:08,055
No, you're not Christmas dinner!

811
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,215
...for her other turkey, Bod...

812
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:13,975
Oh, who's a good girl?
There you go.

813
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,255
...it's like all his Christmases
have come at once.

814
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,655
Her husband won't let me
anywhere near her now!

815
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,095
He is sending her off.
SHE LAUGHS

816
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,375
Oi-Oi! You've got her back!

817
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,375
I know people think they're ugly,
they're not.

818
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,735
They make the best pets.

819
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,855
Ancl she's been my pet,
I've raised her from a baby.

820
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,655
I hope they will both live
a long and happy life.

821
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,215
Look how happy he is
to have her back.

822
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:46,455
And, for me, that makes me happy.

823
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,735
A couple of weeks
after his complex castration surgery

824
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,215
on Larry the lamb,

825
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:06,095
Rohin's headed out to Calderdale -
hoping to find a happy valley.

826
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,815
It's been a bit of a nervous wait
to see how he's got on,

827
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,135
and I'm really keen to just find out
how he's doing.

828
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,895
Nice to see you again.
Morning. Good to see you again.

829
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,295
So, how's everything been?

830
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,175
Even from clay one,
he was eating, he's fine,

831
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,535
he's recovered really well.

832
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,495
He bounced back straight away?
Fantastic.

833
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,175
Yeah.
Yeah? Oh, that's really good.

834
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,775
I think the only thing now then
is to look at the wounds, isn't it?

835
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:28,895
See how they're healing.

836
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,295
If it's all going well,
we can take those stitches out.

837
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,695
To help his wounds heal...
There we go, mate, that's it.

838
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:40,095
...Larry's been in solitary
confinement since the surgery.

839
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,495
I'm really happy with that,
it's held together really nicely.

840
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,855
Not just the skin,
but you can feel underneath,

841
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,455
there's no swelling,
there's no infection.

842
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,335
I'll start taking these out.

843
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:54,255
There you go, mate.
Who's a good boy, Larry?

844
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,535
Ancl this should be the last one
at the bottom.

845
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,815
Is that the stingy one?

846
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,695
I'd say he's absolutely
at the point now where

847
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:06,975
he can go out and be with the others
and have a happy life

848
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,015
after all he's been through.

849
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,735
There we go.
Come on, Larry.

850
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:12,935
Don't eat the plants.

851
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,575
There you go, mate.

852
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,135
ROHIN: With a spring in his step,
just in the wrong direction.

853
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:20,895
It's his first taste of freedom
in a while,

854
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,415
and he doesn't quite know
what to do.

855
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,455
So long as he doesn't
disappear down the road -

856
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,175
then we'd have another problem.
But he's doing well.

857
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,055
SHEEP BLEAT
Bless. Aw, listen to that.

858
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,335
That noise he just made
when he saw his mates,

859
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,255
that broke my heart hearing that.

860
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,935
You can tell he's having
the time of his life now, isn't he?

861
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,375
VICKY:
Back with your friends, Larry, eh?

862
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,735
He's hiding behind them now...
LAUGHING: Yeah!

863
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,135
...in case we do
something else to him.

864
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,615
I didn't think you'd see
that much happiness in a sheep.

865
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,815
I'm really pleased about that.

866
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,295
That was our biggest reason
for doing the operation,

867
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,735
was the fact that, if we
didn't make sure he was castrated,

868
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,815
he couldn't live with his friends
who he's been brought up with.

869
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,655
You can tell how happy it makes him
to be there living with them now.

870
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,295
They're a social animal, ancl it just
puts a smile on your face

871
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:04,695
seeing him being so happy now.
