00:00:01,800 --> 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 MOOING
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 --> 00:00:22,575
...has been a Yorkshire vet
for over 40 years.
8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,495
I'm getting the impression you
wouldn't take me on as an assistant.
9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,495
Is that right?
Probably. Ha!
10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,895
Peter's old partner,
Julian Norton...
11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,655
With a gloved hand and a 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 --> 00:00:48,935
I'm armed and ready.
18
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,295
...a new generation
of town and country vets...
19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,575
This is the closest tojames Bond
I think I'm ever getting.
20
00:00:53,600 --> 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 --> 00:01:03,775
...never taking their eyes
off the ball...
25
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,695
Oh! Howzat! Ha-ha!
26
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,055
...as they help animals
of all shapes...
27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,695
Didn't think I'd be hugging
a turkey today.
28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,375
...sizes...
That's more like pulling a calf out.
29
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,935
...types...
30
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,775
Nearly done. Nearly done, Bertie.
31
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,055
...and temperaments.
32
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,775
Ow! He bit me!
33
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,135
It's definitely not glamorous.
34
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,735
Penile amputations
still make me squirm a little bit.
35
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,135
But it's varied.
36
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,575
WOMAN BRAYS
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 --> 00:01:35,135
but they continue
the Herriot tradition.
40
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,495
Ooh!
41
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,895
Treating all creatures...
That's it, there we go.
42
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,295
...great...
Oh, Merlin.
43
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,095
Come on!
..and small.
44
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,695
Hello! Ho-ho!
45
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,655
In Yorkshire,
it's a tale as old as time.
46
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,255
Majestic beauty...
47
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,055
...and magnificent beasts.
48
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,935
COWS MOOING
49
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,535
But this heavenly cocktail
50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,895
does come with a splash
of devilment...
51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,455
...because every rose...
has its thorn.
52
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,095
COWS MOOING
53
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,135
At the practice in Kirkbymoorside,
54
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,455
Steve and Emma have rushed in
their cat to see Peter...
55
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,215
Would you like to come through?
56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,215
...with their whole family in shock
after a freak accident.
57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,775
Ancl who's this?
58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,375
STEVE: This is Charlie.
Charlie?
59
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,495
Ancl what seems to be the problem?
60
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,375
He's got a thorn sticking out
of his eye. Oh, crikey.
61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,375
Crikey, that is dramatic.
62
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,095
Put my glasses on
and have a proper look at this.
63
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,655
I've just come home,
and I called him, he meowed,
64
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,015
and at first I saw a little mark
on his face.
65
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,935
I thought, "Has he been fighting?"
Then I noticed the eye.
66
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,655
I need to sedate him
to get that out.
67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,015
There's obviously a risk
of infection as well.
68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,295
We've got to consider
that it has gone through
69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,615
to the anterior chamber.
70
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,175
So I might have to, er,
stitch his eyelid across.
71
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,855
I may have to do,
72
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,895
depending on what it's like
when we get it out.
73
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:33,735
Right, can I hang on to him?
Ancl I'll give you a ring in a bit.
74
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,175
We'll look after him.
75
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,375
EMMA: Thank you.
All right. I'll see you later.
76
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,215
Like Peter,
77
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,695
nurse Lucy is struggling
to believe her eyes.
78
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,975
CLICKS TONGUE
How have you clone that?
79
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,055
It's horrible, isn't it?
80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,455
My first thoughts
regarding Charlie boy
81
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,375
is I wouldn't be particularly happy
82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,295
if I had a huge thorn like that
sticking out of my eye.
83
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,135
We've got to proceed with caution
and accept that Charlie boy
84
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,335
could lose his eye
if we're not careful.
85
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,935
I'm just giving Charlie
his an aesthetic now
86
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,335
because I need to abolish
all his reflexes,
87
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,615
including his eye reflexes.
88
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,615
Quite a gruesome sight.
89
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,655
I've seen thorns before
penetrating the eye,
90
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,935
but this is probably
the worst one I've seen.
91
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,455
A, because of the size of the thorn,
92
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,335
and B, because of its depths
of penetration.
93
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,535
Just want to have a look
and see how far
94
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,095
that thorn's gone in,
whether it's going through the iris
95
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,375
into what we call
the posterior chamber,
96
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,495
where the lens sits.
97
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,935
Is it bad?
Yeah. It's bad.
98
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,055
That has brushed past the iris.
99
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,935
That's going to be
added complications.
100
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,535
This is a situation
where Charlie could lose his eye.
101
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,815
We're just going to have to take it
step at a time
102
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:58,295
and hope we can save it.
103
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,935
Across Yorkshire,
104
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,895
in Rodney Sheard's family,
sheep farming is in the blood.
105
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,375
Come on, girls. Walk on.
106
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,695
Come on.
107
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,055
Matthew's my son.
108
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,935
He's going to take over
when I retire,
109
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,455
if I retire,
110
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,055
and this little one,
this granddaughter, Ella,
111
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,855
and she's just as keen a farmer
as what we are.
112
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,055
MATTHEW CHUCKLES
113
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,375
So I know it's all
gonna be in good hands.
114
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,855
Family's very important.
115
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,615
You've got to work and pass it on
to next generation,
116
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,375
and then pass it on to grandkids,
like, you know.
117
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,055
She were just interested
straightaway,
118
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,215
straight into t'sheep.
119
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,135
She weren't bothered
about their size or being scared.
120
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,055
She just wanted to have a go,
didn't you?
121
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,415
And Ella already has a special bond
122
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,775
with her favourite sheep
on the farm...
123
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,135
Put it down for him.
..Teddy.
124
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,095
She is very natural.
She just knows how to talk to 'em.
125
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,975
They've had a bond ever since
they both were born, to be honest.
126
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,175
She christened him Teddy,
and it stuck.
127
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,055
Ancl I can't part with him neither
cos he's...
128
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,735
Well, he in't my sheep, actually,
he belongs to Ella,
129
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,095
so she claimed it.
130
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,455
So Rodney has come up
with a way of ensuring
131
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,335
that Teddy will have a long
and productive life on the farm,
132
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,975
but he needs Julian's help.
133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,255
The procedure that I'm intending
to do on Teddy today, er,
134
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,735
is a vasectomy.
135
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,855
A vasectomised male sheep on a farm
is known as a "teaser tup".
136
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,695
It's a very appropriate name
137
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,855
because Teddy literally teases
the females into sexual activity.
138
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,375
It's a very good thing to do,
139
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,055
but the pressure will be
even bigger today
140
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,815
because I understand
that Rodney's granddaughter
141
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:50,535
is gonna be around
to watch and learn.
142
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,775
Ella's developed something
of a soft spot for Teddy recently,
143
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,135
so it's really important
that everything goes to plan,
144
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,655
so fingers crossed
we'll be all right.
145
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,935
SHEEP BAAS
146
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,735
Morning.
RODNEY: Morning.
147
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,015
Ancl this is your sheep,
your very own sheep?
148
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,215
Yeah.
149
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,015
So you won't know what on earth
150
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,855
we're gonna be doing
to your favourite sheep today.
151
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,215
It's a bit of an odd thing,
but you get to keep him.
152
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,615
He'll have a long
and very happy life on the farm,
153
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,895
that's for sure.
154
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,255
It's the best job on the farm
for a sheep.
155
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,975
It makes your life at lambing time
a lot easier, doesn't it?
156
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,255
Because everything's
in the same time period.
157
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,295
Yeah, consolidated.
158
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,895
Long clays, long nights,
and not a lot of sleep,
159
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,375
so if you can have that
over two weeks
160
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,175
rather than two months, it's better.
161
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,215
Stage one is getting the sheep
in the right place.
162
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,015
It looks like Ella's got a plan.
163
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,695
Go on, Teddy.
Come on, Teddy.
164
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,055
Good boy.
Right we are, Teddy. What about...?
165
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,935
We“, that was easy.
CHUCKLES
166
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,055
So, this is quite a...
fascinating piece of equipment.
167
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,255
It looks a bit medieval,
168
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,815
but it's a really good way
of keeping him restrained
169
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,255
and in the right position.
170
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,655
So it's like some
kind of fairground ride for sheep.
171
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,895
Right, ready?
Ready. Watch Teddy.
172
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,455
There he is.
173
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,135
There we are.
Can I just adjust his testicles?
174
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,415
Yeah, aye, aye.
175
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,975
I'm happy with that, yeah.
176
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,615
So, we've got the sheep in position.
177
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,895
What I'm gonna be doing
is performing a vasectomy.
178
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,055
So that's the plan,
179
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,335
and to make that work,
I've got to take out the right bit.
180
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,295
The first thing that you worry about
181
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,695
is it's not great to have sheep
on their back for too long.
182
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,255
The rumen can fill up with gas,
and that can be a problem.
183
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,735
Ancl then the next big challenge
is avoiding the blood vessel.
184
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,535
If you catch that,
blood goes everywhere.
185
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:41,695
It's a bit of a disaster.
186
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,415
It's fiddly,
it's technically challenging.
187
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,735
You know, it's tiny, kind of,
surgery, so it's not the easiest.
188
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,735
HORSE WHINNIES
189
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,095
This is the second one
190
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,455
where he's almost burned
the skin off.
191
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,215
The third cut is the deepest
for David.
192
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,855
What we don't want is infection
tracking into the joint.
193
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,535
Can be really, really serious.
194
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:10,695
And for Peter...
Right, here's the tricky bit.
195
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,335
...it's a bed of thorns in theatre.
196
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,535
PETER: Good grief.
LUCY: Oh, my goodness me.
197
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,415
CH RISTOPH ER TIMOTHY:
In Kirkbymoorside,
198
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,015
Peter and nurse Lucy
have been left shocked by Charlie,
199
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,295
the cat with a thorn in his eye.
200
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,455
LUCY: That all right?
201
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,215
Yeah, I can see perfectly,
thanks, Luce.
202
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,055
And they're hoping they won't need
to remove the eye.
203
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,975
Right, here's the tricky bit.
204
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,735
Good grief.
Oh, my goodness me!
205
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,935
That's horrendous.
That is massive.
206
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,615
We've got fluid leaking out
of the eye now.
207
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,895
That's not surprising.
208
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,495
Aw, that is unbelievable.
209
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,575
The problem is that the length
of thorn that was in the eye
210
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,415
takes it
through the anterior chamber,
211
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,815
through past the iris,
212
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,775
which is the coloured part
of the eye,
213
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,495
into the posterior chamber,
where the lens sits.
214
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,055
So, the outlook is less clear
215
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,255
as to whether we're gonna be able
to save this eye.
216
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,655
It's fiddly old job, isn't it?
Very fiddly.
217
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,015
Very, very fiddly.
218
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,695
If we just suture it across the eye
to protect the sight.
219
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,095
Ancl also, it will stop Charlie
220
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,375
wanting to get at it
and scratch at it.
221
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,175
Well clone, Luce.
Nice steady hand on there.
222
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,415
Well clone.
223
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,895
We won't know for some time whether
this is going to be successful.
224
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,135
The biggest risk now is infection.
225
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,935
Be a bit comfier with that out,
won't it?
226
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,015
A I... Oh, a lot.
227
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,535
Right. That's great.
I'm happy with that.
228
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,895
We've just got
to keep everything crossed now.
229
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,175
I'm going to load him full
of antibiotics.
230
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,055
Come on, little man.
231
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,695
Ancl then I'm going
to say my prayers.
232
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,095
A few hours later, Charlie's
owners are back at the practice.
233
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,015
Hey, Charlie. How we you doing?
234
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,895
Well, that eye
looks pretty comfortable to me.
235
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,575
Are you OK with it?
236
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,015
All we can do now
is send Charlie home,
237
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,495
see him in a few clays' time,
238
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,695
just to see how he's getting on
with this eye.
239
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,735
You're going home, Charlie.
240
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,175
Is that all right, little man?
241
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,655
Hey?
242
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:35,775
Good boy.
243
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,695
Here he is.
Charlie!
244
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,335
Charlie. Now, he's got
a funny lampshade around his neck.
245
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,415
That's just to protect him,
so he can't scratch at his eye.
246
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,935
Ancl I brought the thorn itself,
247
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,695
so you can see how big
the blooming thing was.
248
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,175
What is that?
249
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,455
That's the thorn
that was in his eye.
250
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,735
Isn't that horrible?
251
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,335
Ancl he was very brave about it,
252
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,695
and he's been very brave
since he came round.
253
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,495
So I thought you might like
to take that home.
254
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,775
Thank you.
THEY LAUGH
255
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,335
Right. Very good.
256
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,695
There we are. I'll just check him
in a week's time
257
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,055
if you make an appointment,
and I'll see you then.
258
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,855
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. Bye-bye.
259
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,095
Bye-bye.
260
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,575
As veterinary surgeons,
261
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,935
we're never quite sure
what we're going to see next,
262
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,615
and untill got him knocked out,
I wasn't fully aware
263
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,215
of how far
the thorn was penetrating.
264
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,575
So we've got
to keep everything crossed now.
265
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,415
I've clone all I can.
With a bit of luck, we'll be OK.
266
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,135
SHEEP BAA
267
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,575
Across Yorkshire,
268
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,895
Rodney's granddaughter's
favourite sheep, Teddy,
269
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,775
has had his world
turned upside down...
270
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,295
It does look like a medieval
torture machine, doesn't it?
271
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,215
...sojulian can turn him
into a teaser tup.
272
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,135
The point of Teddy,
once he's been vasectomised,
273
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,495
is not to get anybody pregnant.
274
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,135
Teddy's presence gets them going
and all fired up.
275
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,175
Ancl then we take Teddy out,
put in some actual tups
276
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,615
and they do their thing.
277
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,215
Teddy's quite fluffy down here,
I suppose.
278
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,655
So, the first thing to do
is get everything tidied up, really.
279
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:09,975
What is it...?
Manscaping.
280
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,775
Manscaping, that's it.
281
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,135
There's plenty of batteries left
in these clippers
282
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,895
if you want to borrow them, Rodney!
ALL LAUGH
283
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,775
So, Teddy's got
the tidiest genitalia in Yorkshire,
284
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,855
I think, today.
285
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,215
He will be wondering
what on earth's...
286
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,335
Going on.
..going on.
287
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,495
Sorry, Teddy.
288
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,855
It's all right, Ted.
It'll all be over shortly.
289
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,335
BANNG
290
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,855
The first thing that you worry
about is finding the right bit,
291
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,215
which is easier said than clone,
actually.
292
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,655
You think it's gonna be obvious,
but it never quite is.
293
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,655
Steady.
Steady, Teddy.
294
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:49,655
I've got a very sharp thing there
right near your balls.
295
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:50,775
Steady.
296
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,015
This is a small tube for Teddy,
297
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,415
but one kind
of giant thoroughfare for sperm.
298
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,215
So, without it,
he ain't gonna get anybody pregnant.
299
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,695
But he will still behave
like a male,
300
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,335
so he'll be able to stimulate
301
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,095
all the females to come into season
all at the same time.
302
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,535
So that's the first side clone.
303
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,015
It's a fiddly procedure.
It's not one that you can rush.
304
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,615
But on the flip side of that, we've
got a sheep here lying on his back.
305
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,735
So that is a fairly perilous thing
to be.
306
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,695
There is that time pressure.
I'm always aware of that.
307
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,975
Same again on this side.
308
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,015
Suture and cut.
309
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,815
Go on, Teddy. We're nearly done.
Teddy.
310
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,775
Has been an absolute model patient.
311
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,175
This has sort of guaranteed
his future on the farm forever,
312
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,375
hasn't it, now?
That's right, yeah.
313
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,135
Antibiotics,
just so it doesn't get infected,
314
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,535
and I'll put some spray on, as well.
Ooh, jazzy.
315
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,335
Jazzy scrotum.
Is he off to a party?
316
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:02,415
He'd be popular, wouldn't he,
at a party, with silver testicles?
317
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,975
What about that?
Coot.
318
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,775
Right...
LAUGHING: He's clone.
319
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,135
He can spin around
and go back to bed,
320
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,455
or back to his party,
wherever he is heading.
321
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,255
Go on, Teddy. You're clone.
322
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,735
Brilliant.
323
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,575
Ella, we're all clone.
324
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,015
Teddy's mended.
We're all done.
325
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,455
That's it.
326
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,735
He's been a really good boy,
327
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,575
so he definitely deserves
a bit of a snack.
328
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,375
That's it. Brilliant.
Well clone.
329
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,735
Are you gonna look after him
for the next few clays,
330
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,175
just in case he's feeling
a bit poorly or anything like that?
331
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,655
ELLA: Yeah.
Excellent.
332
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,255
That's been a good morning's work,
hasn't it?
333
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,495
So, the future is bright
for farming in Dewsbury.
334
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,775
Yeah, hope so.
Very good.
335
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,015
It's been great to catch up
with Rodney again today,
336
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,055
and nice to catch up
with Matthew and little Ella.
337
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,415
Rodney's a great role model,
really, quite an inspiring farmer.
338
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,695
His love for his animals
and his passion for farming
339
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,255
is really second to none.
340
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,135
You can tell that
that's definitely rubbing off
341
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,935
onto the next generations.
342
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,335
When the Yorkshire
countryside's beauty
343
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,535
is cloaked in darkness...
344
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,815
...hidden dangers lurk.
345
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,855
So, as each new day dawns...
346
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,255
...fresh challenges emerge.
347
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,455
And after an early call,
348
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,975
David's rushing to an emergency
near Huddersfield.
349
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,735
I'm going now
to see a horse called Boni.
350
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,495
Apparently,
he's got a few nasty injuries.
351
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,175
The owner's just found him
in a field,
352
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,055
so a bit worried about this one.
353
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,655
You being a good boy?
354
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,975
For Boot's owner, Faye, it's been
a distressing start to the day...
355
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,015
I know, my darling.
356
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,175
He's come in this morning
with three cut legs.
357
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,655
One is quite nasty.
358
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,855
Looks like he's got spooked
in the field last night.
359
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,215
...and especially bad timing.
360
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,015
Boni is 12.
He's come over from Malta.
361
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,495
He's a rescue.
He was previously a carriage racer.
362
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,855
So, we were just getting nicely
363
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,735
building up his hacking out
and everything,
364
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,575
and then this has happened.
365
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,975
I'm also pregnant, but I've got
a few friends that are helping me.
366
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,895
So I absolutely wanna make sure
that he's sorted
367
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,775
and he's got the best care.
368
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,815
Leg injuries are always a worry
with horses.
369
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,735
Obviously, we're worried
about infection, blood loss,
370
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,135
if it's gonna
compromise any joints.
371
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,055
So, we'll have to see
what the wounds are like.
372
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,895
If there's really bad damage
373
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,255
and one of the tendons
or ligaments has gone
374
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,015
and the horse is uncurably lame,
it could be really bad news.
375
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,575
So, I don't really know what I'm
gonna have to do until I get there.
376
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,335
Hi, you all right?
Hi.
377
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:03,695
Now, then, mister. 'Ey, hello.
378
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,055
This is Boni.
Boni.
379
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,975
What you been up to, mate, eh?
Good boy.
380
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,455
You having a sniff?
381
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,735
So, do you think he might have run
into some barbed wire,
382
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,215
or what do you think's happened?
383
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,575
I think there was a roller
in the field... Right.
384
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,855
...and I think he's got spooked by
something and slid straight into it.
385
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,495
Shall we just walk him out
onto this little bit here?
386
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,815
We can have a look in daylight.
387
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,455
SHE CLICKS TONGUE
Good boy.
388
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,495
Good lad.
HORSE WHINNIES
389
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,855
Now, now, darling. Good boy.
390
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,015
So, he's got a few quite nasty cuts.
Three different legs, as well,
391
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,415
so we're gonna give him
a little bit of standing sedation,
392
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,135
just calm him down,
let me have a closer look.
393
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,495
All right, darling.
394
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,095
I'm cleaning it up
with some antiseptic.
395
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:49,695
There's kind of two, three grazes
there.
396
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,055
But that's relatively superficial,
397
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,535
so... that's gonna heal all right
if we keep it clean.
398
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,535
This is the second one.
399
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,655
Ancl this has got
multiple small grazes.
400
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,135
There's two sections there where
he's almost burned the skin off.
401
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,255
It's a little bit dirty, so this is
gonna need a really good clean-up.
402
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,015
Good boy.
403
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,375
Now I need to have a look
at the... back right.
404
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,735
I think you can see it better
from this side.
405
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,455
So, this is the one
that looks a bit deeper.
406
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,455
There's still a slight bit
of haemorrhage,
407
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,535
so I'm using a sterile swab and just
gently seeing, especially down here,
408
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,895
where it's near his ankle,
if there's any kind of depth
409
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,375
or penetration there and have
to really worry about the joint.
410
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,015
We can sort the skin out,
411
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,415
but what we don't want is infection
tracking into the joint.
412
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,015
It can be really, really serious.
413
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,975
One teat looks quite shrivelled up.
Right.
414
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,095
Rohin hopes milk issues
don't turn things sour.
415
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,655
We've got two kids here.
416
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,255
Ideally, we'd want there to be
two teats for them to suckle from.
417
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,095
If there's only one, the rate
of mortality is known to be higher.
418
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,975
And whilejulian
has noses twitching...
419
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,895
Have you got some new aftershave?
I might have.
420
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,895
...will Teddy impress his ladies?
421
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,415
It's like a Saturday night out
with t'lads, you know.
422
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,295
CH RISTOPH ER TIMOTHY:
Near Huddersfield,
423
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,775
David's sedated Faye's horse Boni.
424
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,855
He's lost a bit of skin there.
425
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,375
There's a decent, like,
50p-size defect. Yep.
426
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,295
He's cut three of his legs
on a field roller,
427
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,735
with one leg especially concerning.
428
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,095
If I can, if he tolerates it,
429
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,855
I'm gonna try and just get a couple
of stitches in there. Uh-huh.
430
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,495
I think there's a bit of skin
missing, so it may not fully close,
431
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,455
but if I can close it up
as much as possible,
432
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,495
it'll heal a lot faster.
433
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,495
Faye is pregnant,
434
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:54,055
but rescue horse Boni
is already her big baby,
435
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,575
although David knows
he has to be wary.
436
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,255
I'm only spraying a little bit
of local in there now.
437
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,455
It's just awkward.
438
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,255
Obviously,
you need to be gentle with him,
439
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,255
and you need to be ready
to spring back quickly, as well.
440
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,535
There's always a risk,
which is why I'll lean back.
441
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,495
So, he can still kick.
442
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,695
I know, I know.
It's all to help you.
443
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:21,135
As sedated male horses often do,
he's showing us his manhood.
444
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,535
It's just another danger for my head
when I'm bending underneath a horse!
445
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,175
Although
I'm not sure if I'd rather be kicked
446
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,615
or hit in the head by his penis,
but...
447
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,775
Let me just go round that side
and tie it off.
448
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,095
Good boy. Good boy.
449
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:38,775
This is his just waking up
a little bit.
450
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,135
All right, darling. It's all right.
HORSE NEIGHS
451
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,415
He's starting to get
a little bit agitated now, I think.
452
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,775
WHINNIES
453
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,615
I think he's starting to wear off
his sedation a little bit.
454
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,855
Good lad. Good boy, Bon.
Steady, mate, I'm tying.
455
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,935
Typical. It's the last little bit.
Yeah.
456
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,415
I was pushing my luck, really.
457
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,735
Good lad. I know, I know.
458
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,375
Try from that side again.
459
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,015
All right, darling. Good boy.
It's just the thought of it now.
460
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,335
I'm not doing anything, he's just...
461
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:11,135
He knows now. He's picked up on it.
462
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,695
I think he's clone really well,
to say how big a cut he's had.
463
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,375
I've closed down the big hole
at the top.
464
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,415
It's much, much better,
465
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,975
and then there's a long, thin,
fairly superficial stripe down.
466
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,375
It looks a bit worse than it is.
467
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,735
I'm gonna put some sterile
manuka surgical honey in the area.
468
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,735
That will keep it nice and clean.
Bandage over the top.
469
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,575
'I think he's lucky,
judging by those injuries.
470
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,935
'If it had been a few centimetres
either way
471
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,535
'and into one of the joints
or ligaments,
472
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,215
'it could have been really nasty.'
473
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,935
Right.
Excellent.
474
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,935
I'll give you some antibiotic
sachets to put in his feed as well.
475
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,335
Brilliant, yep. Good lad.
476
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,575
He needs to rest,
keep any infection at bay,
477
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,935
and then I'll be back
in a couple of weeks, hopefully,
478
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,295
to get the stitches out
and give him the all clear.
479
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,255
Hopefully, we should see that
starting to close up a little bit.
480
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,855
So, plenty of treats and cuddles
is what's needed now.
481
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:16,175
In Wetherby,
482
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,495
like at any veterinary practice,
483
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,135
there are all kinds of smells.
484
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,935
And many aren't pleasant.
485
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,295
Did he have a poo?
486
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,935
Oh, on the owner's shoe,
and it went all underneath.
487
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,295
He had a poo on the shoe!
He had a poo on the shoe,
488
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,655
and it went under. She stood on it.
I smelt something.
489
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,015
Ancl then she ended up going into
the consult room with no shoe on.
490
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,935
No shoe! We had to take the shoe
in the back...
491
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,375
One shoe on and one shoe off.
..and clean it up.
492
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,535
But the two Lucys have detected
a refreshing new aroma in the air.
493
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,295
Have you noticed, er, Julian's
been smelling nice recently?
494
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,935
He actually has!
It's not just me, then?
495
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,855
“Nan?
Yep?
496
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,375
Have you got some new aftershave?
I might have.
497
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,775
What's it to you?
You do actually smell very nice.
498
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,575
LAUGHTER
Mmm. Yeah, I like it.
499
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,935
I've never been interested
in this sort of thing,
500
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,375
but I walked past a man
in the street the other clay,
501
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,775
and I thought to myself,
"God, he smells really nice."
502
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,135
And I didn't say anything,
because that would be weird.
503
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:28,055
Generally, I smell of vaguely of mud
and vaguely of rancid dog ears,
504
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,415
so I thought it was time
to make a change.
505
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,775
Olly always says
I smell like a ferret. Nice.
506
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,135
Well, we do have a lot of ferrets,
don't we?
507
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,495
Yeah, one in today, yeah.
I don't think I smell like a ferret.
508
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,895
But I've been into Greggs or
something and I smell like a ferret.
509
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,535
What do people think of me?
510
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,615
I once had a job working
in a pizza takeaway
511
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,175
at the same time
as I was working on a pig farm.
512
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,655
Oh, no!
We never got any customers.
513
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,375
It had to shut down in the end.
514
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,375
No-one knew it was me, but
I couldn't get the smell out of me.
515
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,175
Pig smell gets into your skin and...
Oh, no...
516
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,335
...a little bit like... my new...
'Ey!
517
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,935
...my new aroma.
THEY LAUGH
518
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:13,695
Over at Rodney's farm,
519
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,255
Teddy the tup won't be needing
his Brut or Old Spice...
520
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,695
Right, Teddy!
521
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,055
...afterjulian's vasectomy
gave him an important job to do.
522
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,415
Well, today is an exciting day
523
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,455
because Teddy has just now been made
into a teaser,
524
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,455
so we can use him to get
sheep cycling, ready for t'tups.
525
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,055
He's going to have fun,
but he won't get any babies, so...
526
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,615
But he'll have a long life,
so that's the main thing.
527
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,975
Rodney and his son Matthew...
528
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,055
Teddy, I'm off for your girls now.
Right, let's get it sorted, then.
529
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,455
...just need to round up
Teddy's ladies.
530
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,335
BANNG
531
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:52,655
Come by. Lie down!
532
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,255
Come by!
533
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,775
Steady! Steady!
534
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,015
Walk on, come on.
535
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,495
Come on.
536
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:15,295
This is where it all starts.
This is where we get going.
537
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,015
Come on, girls.
538
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,535
Go on.
539
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,095
Steady.
540
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:22,455
She's coming,
because she's wagging her tail.
541
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,535
It's a sign that she's coming
into season, so that's grand.
542
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,215
Come on, ladies. Come on.
543
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,175
Yeah, this is the first time
they're seeing Teddy,
544
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,215
their first meeting.
545
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,815
Come on.
546
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,175
He looks keen, doesn't he?
He does, doesn't he?
547
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,975
Quick, in't he?
Yeah.
548
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,975
He's like a kid in a candy shop.
549
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,495
Once he settles down, he'll just go
round them all automatically.
550
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,295
Knackered already!
LAUGHS
551
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,015
It's like a Saturday night out
with lads, like, you know.
552
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,775
Except it's the other way around
with him.
553
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,695
He's running on after ladies, like.
554
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,255
He'll be worn out by tonight.
THEY LAUGH
555
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,615
Across West Yorkshire,
556
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,935
Matt and Shona have come
to a school in Leeds,
557
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,255
where they're celebrating
World Animal Day.
558
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,295
LAUGHTER
559
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,255
All right. How's it going?
Lovely to meet you all.
560
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,295
Today is a snippet
of how to raise awareness,
561
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,015
how to raise education, really,
for people about animals,
562
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,895
how to look after animals.
563
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,255
Ah, brill. White rabbits!
SHONA: Look at them.
564
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,615
'|t doesn't really matter
how big or small the animal is,
565
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,495
'they're just as important,
and we're here to help with that.'
566
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,775
This one's George.
Oh, George.
567
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,215
He's very soft, aren't you?
568
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,295
He's very clean, as well, in't he,
for a white bunny?
569
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,655
It's quite nice to be seeing
some enthusiastic students
570
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,375
and trying to inspire them
to encourage other people
571
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,175
to look after other animals
properly.
572
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,255
Hello, Mildred. Come on,
let's see how you're getting on.
573
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,135
They're in such good condition.
574
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,895
So, it's always nice to see
any rescue animal getting a home,
575
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,695
but rabbits, particularly,
can be quite neglected in some cases
576
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,735
because they're not the easiest
thing to look after at all.
577
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,615
But these guys look like they've got
a happy life here at the school.
578
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,055
Well, now you've introduced me
to your pets here,
579
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,775
I've brought one of my pets,
Dennis, to introduce you to.
580
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,055
Ancl he's a little bit different
to these guys,
581
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,695
more of the cold-blooded nature.
582
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,055
So, this here is Dennis.
583
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,455
This is my pet bearded dragon,
and he was actually an RSPCA case.
584
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,815
He was rescued from someone
that couldn't look after him.
585
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,295
He was really thin,
and it took me a long time
586
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,655
to get him back
to eating relatively normally.
587
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,615
Even now, I still struggle
to get him to eat his veg.
588
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,215
Want to hold him now? There you go.
589
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,775
You just literally
just use your hand,
590
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,655
and he'll feel your heat,
and you just put him...
591
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,055
Dan's really keen to hold him.
592
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,015
There you go.
What do you think?
593
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,415
Yeah, it's cool.
I think it's cool an' all.
594
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,815
While Dennis is going down well...
595
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,375
He's very nice, like, just chillax.
596
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,095
LAUGHTER
597
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,495
...assembly won't be
so "chillaxing"...
598
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,975
I'm feeling a bit nervous.
Nervous. Yeah, a bit nervous.
599
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,695
Well, we are just gonna talk in
front of the whole year group, so...
600
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,735
Yeah.
601
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,615
...for the student speakers...
602
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,615
Good morning,
603
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,095
and welcome
to our special animal assembly.
604
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,775
...or the vets.
605
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,575
I think we're up after these guys,
606
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,895
so I can feel the blood pressure
rising a little bit,
607
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,135
but I'm sure it'll be all right.
608
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,695
Think they're setting the bar
quite high. Yeah.
609
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,255
A nation is judged by the way
it looks after its animals.
610
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,855
Always be kind.
611
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,055
APPLAUSE
612
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,455
Good morning, everyone.
It works. Excellent!
613
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,175
Brilliant panda suit, by the way.
614
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,135
Animals around the globe
desperately need our help,
615
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,975
and every little thing
that we can do with them
616
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,415
makes a massive difference.
617
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,175
So, how many of you
have got pets at home?
618
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,775
Loads of you.
619
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,775
It was about one degree outside.
620
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,055
It was very wet...
WHISPERS: Matt tells a good story.
621
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,695
...and then it just set off
with me attached
622
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,055
and mud skiing behind it.
623
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,975
Awesome.
LAUGHTER
624
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,335
The kids, they seemed
to enjoy the clay, didn't they?
625
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,895
And they seem really
quite passionate about the animals
626
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,255
and caring for them as well,
don't they? It's...
627
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,735
It is. They really engage
with it all.
628
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,535
They can relate
to all these stories.
629
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,975
You know when you had to rescue
that pig, did you get injured by it?
630
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,015
So, it's a good question cos it is
quite often dangerous, our job.
631
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,775
'They had quite a few questions
to ask us.'
632
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,655
What's your favourite animal?
633
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,735
I think we could have been asking
questions all clay, actually.
634
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,015
Can we have a big round of applause,
please?
635
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,215
APPLAUSE
636
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,855
OK.
637
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,255
To round off their good day
of charity work,
638
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,135
Matt and Shona just need
to line some palms with silver...
639
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,095
just one, please. There you go.
640
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,495
That's 70p.
You keep the change, Rita.
641
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,615
All right.
642
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,615
...especially as it means
Matt can line his stomach.
643
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,055
The samosas are legendary
with these guys.
644
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,455
Ancl Rita, I have to say, coming out
here, got her cat outfit on.
645
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:13,975
She is raising an awareness,
raising money
646
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,335
and producing
some fine-quality food as well.
647
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,575
MAN: Thank you, Rita.
Thank you very much. Enjoy.
648
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,055
When it comes to caring for animals,
649
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,935
one of the Huddersfield practice's
newer clients
650
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,855
definitely feels the love.
651
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,415
And Rohin's heading to his
smallholding with a big difference.
652
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,775
We're going to see Thomas,
who's one of our local clients
653
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,495
in maybe one of the more unusual
places we go to see.
654
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,455
It's a... He owns a big quarry.
655
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,815
But his hobby, I think his passion,
is looking after farm animals.
656
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,735
We're into quarrying and demolition,
but I just like the animals.
657
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,615
We've got sheep,
we've got Highland cattle,
658
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,815
we've got geese, we've got alpacas.
659
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,735
And there's one animal in particular
660
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,055
that quarry man-cum-farmer Thomas
really digs.
661
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,775
I'm in love with the goats,
to be honest with you.
662
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,415
Even though they do cause me
a lot of grief,
663
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,335
I've got a soft spot for goats.
664
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,575
I got a brand-new Mercedes,
and the neighbour rung me and said,
665
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,255
"Do you know that your goats
are jumping all over your new car?"
666
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,375
When I got home,
667
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,055
it were absolutely covered
in hoof marks, but I got over it.
668
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,335
But with tiny hooves
taking their first steps,
669
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,375
he's called Rohin
about more serious concerns.
670
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,735
These were born this morning.
671
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,095
The mum has got one teat
that she's feeding on,
672
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,935
but the other
doesn't look right to me.
673
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,735
In the first few clays of life,
674
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,095
they really need to get enough milk
from the mother
675
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,055
in order to produce
a proper immune system, really,
676
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,135
so the antibodies in the milk
are absolutely vital for survival.
677
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,975
If they don't get that,
they can often end up passing away.
678
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,695
So, yeah, it can be a bit
of a worrying situation
679
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,015
when you go to this sort of thing.
680
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,335
Hiya, Rohin.
Hello, Thomas. How you doing?
681
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,175
When they were born, I just checked
the milk's coming out of the teats.
682
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,615
One teat looks quite full,
they're getting milk out,
683
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,575
but the other side
looks quite shrivelled up.
684
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,095
I've seen 'em feeding,
685
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,055
but whether she can sustain it out
of one teat or not, I don't know.
686
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,935
If I... Do you want me
just to hold the horns?
687
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,335
Yeah, do you want to just...
If you keep her steady there.
688
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,535
She'll be a bit wary.
OK, yeah, yeah. Understandably so.
689
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,055
What I'm always wary,
690
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,455
if she gets a bit panicky
and stressed and runs around,
691
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,975
I don't want her to stand on 'em.
Yeah.
692
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,935
We're just gonna give her
a bit of a general check-over,
693
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,615
see what is the reason
why there's no milk from that side.
694
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,255
We've got two kids here.
695
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,095
Ideally, we'd want there to be
two teats for them to suckle from.
696
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,855
If there's only one, the rate
of mortality is known to be higher.
697
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,495
Is it cause for concern?
698
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,935
I'm just feeling if there's any,
you know, lumpy areas
699
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,535
or mastitis or anything.
Right.
700
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:10,735
To be honest, rather than a problem
701
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,455
in terms of infection
or milk production,
702
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,655
it's just not being let down
as much as we'd want it to.
703
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,215
Could it be a delayed reaction?
704
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:19,935
Well, yeah. I think one thing
that could help her,
705
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,295
if we give her
a little oxytocin injection.
706
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,215
Yep.
So, this is a hormone
707
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:28,055
that normally, when the kids suckle,
that's supposed to stimulate
708
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,415
the milk and the milk production
to happen like that.
709
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,895
Ancl if we do this,
it might just make sure
710
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,615
these two get enough antibodies
on board,
711
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,455
which is the critical thing
in the first few clays.
712
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,415
She's a good mum as well.
713
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,215
She's really taken to them,
hasn't she? Yeah.
714
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,055
It's an interesting spot, this.
It's a really nice facility.
715
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,495
Ancl you can tell Thomas
really cares about his animals
716
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,775
and wants to do everything
perfectly by the book,
717
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,375
which is really nice to see.
718
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,535
We need to keep an eye on 'em,
make sure they get enough colostrum,
719
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,575
enough milk over the next 48 hours,
cos that is critical.
720
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,855
Hopefully, that injection
will do the trick,
721
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,975
but, yeah, fingers crossed.
722
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,095
Still to come...
723
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,175
Morning. You good?
Hiya.
724
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,535
The moment of truth.
Yeah.
725
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,255
After the thorn in his eye,
is Charlie's future rosy?
726
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,695
Hopefully, fingers crossed,
he's got his sight back.
727
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:21,895
While for David's horse...
Let's have a look at these wounds.
728
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,495
...it's three legs...
I'll have a look at the back one,
729
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,255
which was the one
that needed stitches.
730
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,455
...and a baby.
Is he a good boy, is he?
731
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,095
CH RISTOPH ER TIMOTHY:
Near Huddersfield,
732
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,415
Rohin's back
at Thomas's quarry-cum-farm...
733
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,535
Now, then. Hello.
734
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,855
...where two newborn goats
were unable to feed.
735
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,015
BLEATING
736
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,375
I've just come to see
737
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,735
how those two little goat kids
and Mum are getting on.
738
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,175
It was a bit of
a stressful situation at the time.
739
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,015
We ended up giving Mum
an oxytocin injection,
740
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,815
which helps
to stimulate milk let-down
741
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,735
and encourage her to produce
enough milk for the two kids.
742
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,695
Hi, Thomas, how are you doing?
Hello, hello.
743
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:12,615
Nice to see you again. You OK?
Hello.
744
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,975
Yeah, not so bad, thank you.
Here we are.
745
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,175
Ancl is this the same two
as last time? Yeah, yeah.
746
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,055
They've come on very well now.
747
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,975
Yeah, they're all looking good,
aren't they?
748
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,895
They're all looking nice and happy
and healthy and bright, aren't they?
749
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,575
Mum's doing well.
Hello, little one, you ok?
750
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,335
I think they'll be glad to get out
and start experimenting... Yeah.
751
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,255
...and start being in a group.
Exploring the real world now.
752
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,935
Definitely, yeah. Fantastic.
Yeah.
753
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,055
So, with the kids all right...
754
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,575
Here we go. Right.
755
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,015
...Thomas's quarry team
now have some high-vis goats.
756
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,135
Here we go.
757
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,015
Got their friends to join them now
as well, look at that. Nice.
758
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,215
They'll be having fun, aren't they?
They are.
759
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:03,735
Tell you what,
I could watch this all clay.
760
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,495
It's entertaining, isn't it?
Yeah.
761
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,335
We're gonna build them
a little bit of a playpen
762
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,015
with some toys
and some climbing frames and stuff.
763
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,215
Yeah. Oh, amazing, yeah.
764
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,495
BLEATING
765
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,455
It's absolutely fantastic to see Mum
and the kids all doing really well.
766
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,775
You can tell how much
Thomas cares about them, as well.
767
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,975
His enthusiasm's kind of infectious.
768
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,695
It's just a really happy situation
to be part of, I think.
769
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,535
At the practice in Kirkbymoorside,
770
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,615
it's two weeks since the cat
with the thorn in his eye
771
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,455
had Peter in a panic...
772
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,775
PETER: Good grief.
That's horrendous.
773
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,775
LUCY: That is massive.
774
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,375
...and owners Steve and Emma
are desperate for good news.
775
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,015
Today, we'll find out
if Charlie'll be able to see again.
776
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,375
We don't actually know
what the damage is.
777
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,575
Fingers crossed,
he'll regain his sight.
778
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,335
Morning. You good?
Hiya.
779
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,015
The moment of truth.
Yeah.
780
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,655
Do you want to come through?
Yeah.
781
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,935
Hello, Charlie. How are you?
782
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,335
Have you been a good boy?
Have you? Let's have a look.
783
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,615
Yes, I know that stings a bit
when it goes in, doesn't it?
784
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,215
I'm sorry.
785
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:33,495
Once it's unstitched,
hopefully, fingers crossed,
786
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,175
he's got his sight back.
787
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,295
This is the moment of truth, really.
I've got one stitch.
788
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,935
Good boy.
789
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,255
Good boy, I know you're fed up
with it now, aren't you?
790
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,055
That's it. Lovely.
791
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,895
You can see where it went in there,
Rach, can't you?
792
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,095
Oh, Charlie...
Charlie, this is looking quite good.
793
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,495
That's healed.
794
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,735
Oh, brilliant news.
He can see again.
795
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,255
There we go.
Great.
796
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,135
Well, Charlie,
is it nice to have your eye back?
797
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,255
You know, there was a possibility
we could have lost that eye.
798
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,135
There's no infection there.
799
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,495
Ancl up until
we took that stitch out,
800
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,215
I wasn't sure
what we were going to find.
801
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:18,655
Excellent.
802
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,495
Didn't want you with a patch
on your eye, did we?
803
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,135
LAUGHTER
804
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,495
Be a good lad.
805
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,935
Nice to see you.
Thank you very much.
806
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,575
Any problems, give me a shout,
all right?
807
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,055
We will do, thank you. Bye.
Thanks a lot.
808
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,575
I think it is the biggest thorn
809
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,935
I've ever had to remove from an eye
in 40 years in practice.
810
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,815
But the cornea has totally healed.
811
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,255
I think Charlie
will now be very pleased,
812
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,935
and I'm going home
a happy veterinary surgeon.
813
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,855
Back over near Huddersfield...
814
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,575
...David's checking
on his own patient
815
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,695
who suffered a freak accident.
816
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,455
In case I need to see
what I'm doing.
817
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,775
Boni the rescue horse
panicked his pregnant owner, Faye,
818
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,215
when he cut three of his legs.
819
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:09,735
Hi. How are we doing?
820
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,775
All good.
Good. Hello, mate, how are you?
821
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,015
But today, Faye's had to hand over
the reins to her friend Sue.
822
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,695
So, I was expecting
to see Faye this morning... Yes.
823
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:22,655
...but| understand
there's been some good news?
824
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,295
Yeah, there's been
some very good news.
825
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,895
Yes, she's had a baby boy this
morning, early hours. Fantastic.
826
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,975
So, yep, she's got another baby to
look after now as well as this one.
827
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,175
Well, let's hope
he's healed up well, then.
828
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,975
Let's have a look at these wounds.
So, he had the ones on the front.
829
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,295
There it was. That's brilliant.
830
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,935
That's absolutely fine.
831
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,535
That's perfect.
I'll have a look at the back one,
832
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,615
which was obviously the much
bigger one that needed stitches.
833
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,855
Good lad.
834
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,735
Wow, that looks so much better
than I thought it would.
835
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,655
That's brilliant.
Even the centre's held together.
836
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,175
There's a small, little scab
in there, in that middle,
837
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,295
but that's fantastic.
838
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,815
I'll just get those stitches out,
and he should be good to go.
839
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,895
He's been exceptionally good.
just the last one to get out.
840
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,415
That's it.
841
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,895
He's really good for that.
842
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,255
He's been such a good patient
throughout.
843
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,615
I'm sure Faye's gonna be pleased,
that bit of a relief
844
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,975
when she's still in the hospital
with her baby.
845
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,735
It's a big clay,
but that's brilliant.
846
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,255
Yeah, she'll be home today,
so I wouldn't be surprised
847
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,615
if she paid a visit tomorrow,
knowing Faye.
848
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:33,935
No, no. Bless her.
Eh?
849
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,975
And a couple of months later...
Huh, who's this?
850
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,335
Is he a good boy, is he?
851
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,255
...Faye's two babies
are getting to know each other.
852
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,015
So, this is Finlay.
853
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,295
He's been up a couple of times,
but this is the first time
854
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,935
that you've been awake
and you can say hello, isn't it?
855
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:01,055
Oh, you clever boy.
856
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,575
And Faye's wasted no time...
Stand. Good boy.
857
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,855
...getting back in Boot's saddle.
WHINNIES
858
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,615
He's all good.
I think a small amount of work
859
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,295
and just keeping his joints moving's
860
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,655
gonna be a really good thing
for him.
861
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,615
David did an amazing job
on the stitching-up of his leg,
862
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,255
and his recovery has just been fab.
863
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,895
For him to come back round
and be like he is,
864
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,695
and his character is coming
out of him so much,
865
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,215
it's amazing to see.
866
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,175
I couldn't have asked
for a better horse
867
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,535
cos he's so gentle,
and he's been so kind.
868
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,255
It's fab, and I'm so pleased
that he's back how he is now.
869
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,095
I think in the next few years,
870
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,495
this little one will have
your very own saddle for Boni,
871
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,095
and we'll get you out riding, eh?
872
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,855
That'd be good fun, wouldn't it?
873
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,255
Yeah. Oh!
874
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,215
Oh, it's hard work. Yes, it is.
