00:00:01,960 --> 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 --> 00:00:11,895
And James Herriot's legacy lives on.
4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,495
His former trainee Peter Wright...
5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,135
All my life,
I've enjoyed doing this.
6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,055
...has been a Yorkshire vet
for over 40 years.
7
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:24,415
I'm getting the impression
you wouldn't take me on
8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,415
as an assistant, is that right?
Probably.
9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,815
Peter's old partnerjulian Norton...
10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,735
With a gloved hand
11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,655
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 these off
ourselves do you think? Pfft!
24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,175
...Never taking their eyes
off the ball...
25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,695
Oh! How's that?!
Oo-ah!
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
I didn't think
I'd be hugging a turkey today.
28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:11,895
GRUNTS
..sizes...
29
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,455
That's more like pulling a calf out!
30
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,935
...types...
Nearly clone.
31
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,775
Nearly clone, Bertie.
32
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,055
...and temperaments.
33
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,775
Ow! He's bit me.
34
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,135
It's definitely not glamourous...
35
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,735
Penile amputations
still make me squirm a little bit.
36
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,135
...but it's varied.
37
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,575
Eee-aw!
38
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,535
You ought to know better.
39
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,415
It's rarely easy...
GRUNTS
40
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,055
...but they continue
the Herriot tradition...
41
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,335
Whoa.
..treating all creatures.
42
00:01:37,360 --> 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 --> 00:01:42,255
Come on!
..and small.
45
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,695
Hello!
CH UCKLES
46
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,055
Like the ancient moors
47
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,415
and cathedrals of rock
carved by time...
48
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,535
...in Yorkshire, there are those
who've seen it all before.
49
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,215
By contrast, greenness doesn't
just apply to the lush pastures...
50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,815
...as youngsters are shown the ways
of this world by their elders.
51
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,535
James Herriot once guided
his own enthusiastic apprentice.
52
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,255
PHONE RINGS
53
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,175
Good afternoon, Grace Lane Vets.
54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,535
Ancl what's the problem?
55
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,815
We'll send someone out
as soon as we can.
56
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,895
But these days,
57
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,775
Peter's learnt that clocking-off
time is never set in stone.
58
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,815
PETER: It's the end of the clay now,
and I was just about to go home,
59
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,175
and a call came in to a farmer
60
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,135
who's got a ewe
that he's very concerned about.
61
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,335
She's had one lamb already.
62
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,775
She's been scanned
for more than one,
63
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,695
and she hasn't produced any,
64
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,535
and that was over two hours ago.
65
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,895
Ancl it's just long enough, really.
66
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:02,495
It's a sign
that there's something wrong.
67
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,655
He's asked me if I go out
straight away and have a look.
68
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,215
Just my luck, really,
69
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,135
because it's roast beef
and Yorkshire pudding night tonight,
70
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,055
but never mind.
71
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,975
It won't be the first time
they've been kept warm for me.
72
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,495
The call for the seasoned vet
73
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,975
came from
a relatively inexperienced farmer.
74
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,735
Ian retired from lecturing
to pursue his passion for sheep.
75
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,215
And he's learning all the time.
76
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,055
One's come out,
but the other one's stuck inside.
77
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,855
It's really deep down,
78
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,895
so I'm struggling to get it out
79
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,495
or to get any sort of purchase
on it.
80
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,375
Hopefully, the lamb
will still be alive
81
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,735
cos that's also a concern
82
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,495
after this length of time
from the first one being born.
83
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,415
So, let's just hope everything's OK.
84
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,335
Hiya, Peter. Hello.
I'm Ian.
85
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,695
Pleased to meet you.
Ancl you too, yeah.
86
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,135
So, we've got a ewe that...
she's been scanned for triplets.
87
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,695
Yes.
She'd been labouring for a while.
88
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,455
Ancl I don't know if there's a third.
I can't get any further in.
89
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,815
Right, OK, let's have a look.
But she's an older mum,
90
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,095
so she should be, you know,
popping them out fairly quick.
91
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,455
Yes. Certainly not hours apart.
92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,255
You'd have thought minutes.
Well... Yes.
93
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:18,015
When you think
you've gone a couple of hours,
94
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,455
it's time something was happening.
95
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,495
How many do you have to lamb?
Er, not that many.
96
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,095
There's about 25.
Yeah.
97
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,815
So it's not a big operation.
98
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,455
So, it's just this one here.
Do you want her just holding there?
99
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,935
Yeah, well, I'm normally
left-handed for this job,
100
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,215
so if I put her head
towards the bucket there...
101
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,055
That's perfect. Absolutely perfect.
102
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,775
Do you feel it?
103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,455
Yeah, I can.
104
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,735
It's deep down, though, isn't it?
It is deep.
105
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,695
Yes, it is.
106
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,895
Ancl I don't suppose
you feel a third, do you?
107
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,855
I'm gonna take it one at a time.
108
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,615
Now, this interesting thing
about this one
109
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,615
is it's coming backwards.
Ah, right.
110
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,815
So, she's maybe struggled a bit,
do you think? I think so.
111
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,015
It is a worry.
112
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,775
Once we get this...
start of this lamb
113
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,215
through the birth canal,
114
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,415
then it's important
we move pretty quickly.
115
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,135
At the practice in Wetherby,
116
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,215
Julian and nurse Lucy
are having a pig of a day...
117
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,855
Could you turn that brightness down
just a notch?
118
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,415
It's just...
Yeah, I bobbed it on half.
119
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,895
It's still quite bright, isn't it?
It's too bright, isn't it?
120
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,575
And even Lucy's weekends
can be a bit of a swine.
121
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,255
So, have you been to the pub
this weekend?
122
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:45,615
Did you go and see that pig?
Yeah.
123
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,615
Were there lots of animals then?
Yeah.
124
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,175
The horse goes to the pub, there's
a ferret that goes to the pub.
125
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,615
Ancl then when I saw a pig on a lead,
126
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,055
I thought it can't get any worse
than this, really.
127
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,575
I literally couldn't believe it.
128
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,455
I had to, like,
shut my eyes and rub them,
129
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,415
and I was thinking,
"Am I seeing that?"
130
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,775
Ancl then it walked past me,
and I was like,
131
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,135
"Oh, it actually is a pig
on a lead." It's a pig on a lead.
132
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,495
Would you say you live in
quite a normal village?
133
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,935
Well, it's normal to me, but then
when I talk to everyone else,
134
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,575
it's probably not that normal.
135
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,775
But I wouldn't have it
any other way.
136
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:20,335
While there are plenty
of unusual animals at Lucy's pub,
137
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,015
today, the practice
is like the Dog and Duck.
138
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,695
Because Jody has just arrived
with an unusual patient...
139
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,135
You all right? What are you doing?
140
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,175
...desperate forjulian's help.
141
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,815
Brought Ada, she's a Mandarin duck.
142
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:37,935
She's broke her leg in two places.
143
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,295
She's a lovely little duck.
She lives in my garden.
144
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,375
She's got a little hutch
she goes in at night, and, er...
145
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,655
and she comes into her pond as well
through t'day.
146
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,575
Mum's with me today for the support.
147
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,135
She's as worried as I am.
148
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,175
Hello.
149
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,655
What have you been doing?
150
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,015
Oh, accident with a mountain bike.
151
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,455
Oh!
I'm getting better.
152
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,015
Ancl you've had a problem
with your leg or your cluck's leg,
153
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,575
is that right? Yeah, yeah, she's
broke her leg in two places, yeah.
154
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,575
Ah.
155
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,655
Can you bring her in?
Yeah, yeah, fine, yeah.
156
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,975
So, what happened?
What was the cause of the accident?
157
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,255
I don't know,
she was just laid in her bed,
158
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,655
and then I went back in,
159
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,055
and she had it up like that.
160
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,135
So, I don't know.
161
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,975
I think it could have been spooked
by a cat, but I'm not sure.
162
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,215
Right, that's it.
163
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,335
So,
when did it have the splint put on?
164
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,335
I think it was Thursday last week.
165
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,935
I'm just worried cos it's
starting to blister up the foot,
166
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,055
and it feels cold.
167
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,895
That is quite cold, isn't it, there?
168
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,295
So, when it goes cold like that,
169
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,615
it's often because the blood supply
is starting to disappear...
170
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,855
Right.
171
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,735
...which is usually not a great sign.
172
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,095
Obviously, if you've got,
173
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,175
firstly, an injury that's big enough
to break the bones...
174
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,175
Yeah.
..It can sever the blood vessels,
175
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,455
but also the pointed ends
of the bone
176
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,335
can damage the blood supply as well.
177
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,895
Sometimes, the bandage or the splint
can squash the blood supply.
178
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,575
It's quite tight, it's difficult.
179
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,175
You've got to make it quite tight,
so it stays on. Yeah.
180
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,375
That doesn't look so clever,
does it? No.
181
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,935
I mean, our options, I suppose,
182
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,215
are try and support it,
but in a more gentle way...
183
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,935
Yeah. ..and hope
the blood supply comes back,
184
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,535
and I think that's probably
the thing to do. Right.
185
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:35,095
The other option would be to say,
186
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,095
"Well, this isn't gonna come right,
let's amputate the leg." Yeah.
187
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,975
Ancl then the third option would be
to put her down. Yeah, yeah.
188
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:49,095
I think it's cos
she's happy in herself, really.
189
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,615
I'd like to give her a chance.
190
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,975
What I think I might try and do,
you know,
191
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,775
rather than putting the splint
on the leg
192
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,295
is try and put a...
193
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,295
you know like
when we break our collar bone?
194
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,575
Ancl strap it up against her body.
Yeah.
195
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,495
I think if we can keep it up...
196
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,575
Yeah. "like that, it might have
a better chance of healing.
197
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,855
Ancl then at least if nothing else,
it's up against her body...
198
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,655
To keep it warm.
..so, it'll keep it warm,
199
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:12,695
and it'll help the bloody supply.
Yeah.
200
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,615
I mean, I could try
and wrap her wing in the bandage.
201
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,175
She'll try and fly away.
202
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,735
I tell you what we can do.
203
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,095
Why don't we give her
some an aesthetic? Yeah.
204
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,455
We can anaesthetise her,
then she'd be still,
205
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,135
and then we could get it
properly on it,
206
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,295
and it will save us struggling,
and it'll save her flapping,
207
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,055
and we'll be able to get it clone
no problem.
208
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,415
That will be the best thing to do.
Right.
209
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,815
Quite happy
with what he said so far.
210
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,455
At least we're going to give her
a fighting chance.
211
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,295
Ada's owner seems happy
to give it a go,
212
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,855
doesn't want to put her down,
so we'll try this.
213
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,615
I'm not sure what the chances are.
214
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,175
The fracture's obviously
quite nasty.
215
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,855
I think 50/50, really.
216
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,575
The legs aren't presented properly.
217
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,055
Peter knows the former lecturer's
lambing isn't textbook.
218
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,095
It would be a massive job
turning her around,
219
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,815
so we need to get this out.
Right, here we go.
220
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,375
And a tiny patient with a big name.
221
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,815
Luna, hello.
For Martin and the team...
222
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,175
You are tiny, aren't you?
223
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,255
...it's surgery
of "lunar" proportions.
224
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,775
This is not a surgery
that I've ever clone before.
225
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,455
Very stressful.
226
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,335
In Kirkbymoorside...
227
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,815
The legs aren't presented properly.
228
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,175
...with one lamb born already,
229
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,015
Peter's trying to save
a ewe's second baby.
230
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,735
EWE BLEATS
I've straightened those up now.
231
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,495
And lecturer-turned-farmer Ian
is expecting triplets.
232
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,175
I'm just bringing the legs
around into a presentation,
233
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,655
where they're coming out behind now.
Yeah, yeah.
234
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:08,455
So, she'll come out backwards
all right.
235
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,255
She'll come out backwards.
Well, it's too...
236
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,135
It'd be a massive job,
turning her around.
237
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,095
So, once I get into position,
238
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,855
it's important that
things run pretty smoothly then,
239
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,975
so we need to get this out.
Is she contracting?
240
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,095
Not much.
241
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:27,535
The important thing,
I don't think the umbilical cord
242
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:29,935
that gives the lamb
nourishment and oxygen,
243
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,495
I don't think
that's been broken yet.
244
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,175
I'm just bringing these legs up now.
245
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,055
Because the cord
quite often gets wrapped round them.
246
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,775
It can do. Right, here we go.
Lovely. Well clone.
247
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,975
That's it. That's it.
Is she alive?
248
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,815
Yeah. Yeah. Good.
Let's give her a swing. Nice lamb.
249
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,015
Yeah, it's a good size, is that,
for a triplet.
250
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,175
Go on, Mum.
Do your bit.
251
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,935
Come on. Shape yourself, woman.
252
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,415
You shape yourself. Come on.
Never mind that.
253
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,295
That's your lamb there.
Come on. Yeah.
254
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,255
Look, I'll give you a hand.
255
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,455
It is moving.
Oh, yes.
256
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,095
Yeah. Ancl I like to see them
shaking their head.
257
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,495
Yeah.
I'm happy then.
258
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,135
Yeah.
Go forward a bit, missus. That's it.
259
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,655
I think it's a bit tired, that lamb.
260
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:21,415
A little bit longer,
261
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,775
and I think we'd have had
probably too long. Right.
262
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,855
But we're going to be fine
with that one. OK.
263
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,975
Despite Ian's talk of triplets,
Peter has some news.
264
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,775
We haven't got another one, though.
There isn't? So...
265
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,415
...scanning man's at fault.
We haven't got a third.
266
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,655
We've just got the two.
Yeah. Oh, well, I'm glad at that.
267
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:43,975
I'd prefer two than three.
268
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,495
LAMB BLEATS
269
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,695
Well, as one farmer said to me,
"I don't want three!"
270
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,455
They've only got two paps.
271
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,295
There's a logic to that.
Does she want a jab of antibiotics?
272
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,855
It wouldn't do any harm. That's it.
273
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,335
Lovely. Brilliant.
Job clone.
274
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,095
I couldn't have got that out myself.
It was a bit of a funny one.
275
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,975
Well, I'm still learning.
That's why we get called.
276
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,815
Well, I'm still learning a lot.
Are you?
277
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,775
Yeah. It's only my fourth
or fifth year at it, really.
278
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,735
You learn something every year,
don't you?
279
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,255
Well, it's really very therapeutic,
isn't it, don't you think?
280
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,535
Yeah, oh, yeah, definitely.
281
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,255
I think
they're such gentle creatures.
282
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,535
Yeah.
They don't kick, they don't bite.
283
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:28,575
Ancl it's just, what amazes me is
284
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,775
the instinct of the lamb
to go straight to the teat. Yes.
285
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,215
Within minutes.
286
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,215
They don't have any textbooks,
have they? No.
287
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,775
I think nature is a wonderful thing.
Yeah.
288
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,135
Sometimes,
it just needs a bit of help.
289
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,255
It's a wonderful sight,
you know, as a vet,
290
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,175
if you leave a ewe that's happy
with two live lambs,
291
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,855
then you consider it
a job well clone.
292
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:57,135
Really pleased with the result.
It had me really, really worried.
293
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,095
So, I think
Peter's clone an amazing job.
294
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,415
As you can imagine,
it's a very steep learning curve.
295
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,775
Ancl each lambing season,
296
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,655
you kind of learn more and more,
as it were.
297
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,695
Ancl that includes knowing
when to call the vet.
298
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,095
So, thanks ever so much, Peter,
I really appreciate it.
299
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,895
With a bit of luck, we should be OK.
Aye, you've clone well.
300
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,895
You've clone brilliantly. Thank you.
Thank you, Ian. All the best.
301
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,775
I'm pleased to say
this lambing has gone very well.
302
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,735
I'm very happy with the outcome,
303
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,015
but I do feel if she'd been left
a little bit longer,
304
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:24,935
we would've lost the lamb.
305
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,455
But we had a bit of luck, really.
306
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,935
The mother's well, and the lamb's
doing very nicely as well.
307
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,575
So, as usual in this situation,
I'm going home very happy.
308
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,415
Over in Wetherby...
309
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,295
Anaesthetise it just like any bird,
really.
310
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,335
Yeah. It's easier to do with gas
than with anything else.
311
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,615
"Julian and Kaitlyn
are trying to fix
312
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,975
Mandarin duck Ada's broken leg.
313
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,495
So, if I tape that round,
can you lift the other wing?
314
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,095
I can't actually remember having
ever having body bandaged a bird,
315
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,815
certainly not for a broken leg,
but yeah, hopefully, it'll help.
316
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,135
She's trussed up like a chicken,
but she's a duck.
317
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:20,455
Right, the wings are out,
the leg's in, cloaca's out,
318
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,775
so she can go to the toilet.
319
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,575
I think you're ready to go back,
Ada. Come on, Ada.
320
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,815
Ada's owner Jody, and his mum,
have been waiting anxiously.
321
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,855
Right, so, this has been
more successful. Good.
322
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,895
Errn, the an aesthetic was smooth,
323
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,175
and I've taken it round the front.
Yeah.
324
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,095
I thought the bandage was nice.
325
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,455
I've called it "duck a I'orange".
Oh, right, yeah, yeah, I like it.
326
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,055
It is quite a bad situation to be in
327
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,455
because if the foot starts to die,
you can get toxins into the system,
328
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,895
which can be quite serious.
329
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,695
She's got a chance at least anyway.
Yeah, yeah.
330
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,495
OK.
Right, thank you.
331
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,135
The future for Ada is
a little bit in the balance.
332
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,495
All right. Cheerio.
Thanks a lot. Bye. Bye-bye.
333
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,975
'There's quite a few problems
that she's up against.'
334
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,375
So, fingers crossed
this will provide support
335
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,375
but allow the vascularity to return
to the lower limb.
336
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,495
There's a chance
we might need to take it off,
337
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,335
or Ada's owner might need
to take it off at home
338
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,255
if the breathing becomes restricted.
339
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,295
Glad I've seen Julian.
340
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,615
Ancl he's gonna have another look
at it and see how it's healing.
341
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,495
Hopefully, it'll be a good outcome.
342
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,975
'Hopefully,
things will be going to plan.'
343
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,815
If not,
then we'll have to think again.
344
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,455
SHEEP BLEATS
345
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,935
At the animal hospital
in Huddersfield...
346
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,815
Catherine's really good
at picking out
347
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,375
cute little outfits for her.
Yeah.
348
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,655
...proud dad Matt is updating
nurses Becca andjess
349
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,935
about his baby, Anastasia.
350
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,135
How old is she now, Matt?
351
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,495
Seven months now.
She's less potato-like now.
352
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,335
She's properly got
some proper character,
353
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:08,135
but we've now started
the weaning process.
354
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,815
To be honest, I can't believe that
355
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,695
Matt is in charge
of keeping a little human alive.
356
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,055
Another few years down the line,
357
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,335
Anastasia's probably going
to be looking after Matt.
358
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,015
LAUGHTER
359
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,775
This, I believe, she gets from me,
her love of cake.
360
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,775
Oh, wow, that's just you.
361
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,135
Ancl she's got the same table manners
as you as well, hasn't she?
362
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,335
What she does do, which I don't do,
is while she is eating dinner,
363
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:32,815
she has the biggest poo ever.
364
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,175
So, if you start going red
at lunchtime...
365
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,455
We know, we know
what's gonna happen!
366
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,375
LAUGHTER
367
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,135
While Matt's got his hands full
with Anastasia,
368
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:50,095
it's a four-legged baby occupying
the mind of senior surgeon Martin.
369
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:53,055
He's preparing for
one of his biggest ever operations
370
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,415
on a little puppy
who's seriously ill.
371
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,695
Today, we've got
a really challenging case.
372
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,335
We've got a little dog - Luna.
373
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,615
She's a tiny little
three-month-old Chihuahua,
374
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,535
and she's been having some issues
with her breathing.
375
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,695
WOMAN MAKES KISSING SOUNDS
Luna, hello!
376
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,095
Hi.
You little monkey. Aren't you?
377
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:17,495
Luna's problem is that she's leaking
a fluid called chyle into her chest,
378
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,775
squashing her lungs
and affecting her breathing
379
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,295
so her heart can't expand
and contract like it should do.
380
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,735
So, we need to repair the leak
381
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,415
so the heart
can work properly today.
382
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,975
Hello, beautiful.
You are tiny, aren't you?
383
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,895
This is not the kind of surgery
that we do every clay.
384
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,055
It's an unusual condition, and
she's an unusual dog to have it in,
385
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,735
so we're a bit apprehensive about
how things are going to go today.
386
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,295
She's only three months old,
so she only weighs 1.8kg,
387
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,175
round about the same
as a bag of sugar.
388
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,135
So, it really is microsurgery.
389
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,655
In those three short months,
390
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,535
little Luna has become
a huge part of the family
391
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,895
for young Libby and her mum, Claire.
392
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,255
This has just hit us
like a ton of bricks, hasn't it?
393
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,815
Cos she were just so normal,
wasn't she?
394
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,895
She were enjoying walks,
and everybody loves her.
395
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,855
I noticed that she were breathing
and it was quite difficult for her,
396
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,935
and it just got faster and faster.
So, we just rushed her straight in.
397
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,935
She's your little dog, isn't she?
You just want her home, don't you?
398
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,175
Yeah, just really want her.
399
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,495
She's your baby, isn't she?
Yeah.
400
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,975
There's a lot of different things
to think about with this little dog.
401
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,615
So, we've got lots of monitors
on her -
402
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,975
blood pressure monitor,
breathing monitors...
403
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,335
All the team,
including nurse Bernie,
404
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:34,615
are feeling the pressure.
405
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,015
Very stressful.
406
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,495
BERNIE CHUCKLES
NERVOUSLY
407
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,855
Very stressful.
408
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,815
And being an NHS nurse,
409
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,295
Claire appreciates
the seriousness of the situation.
410
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,655
I've worked on intensive care
now for 23 years,
411
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,255
so I did have
an understanding of that.
412
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,615
I've been honest with you,
haven't I? I've tried to. Yeah.
413
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,015
She knows that she's an extremely
poorly puppy, don't you?
414
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,135
Ancl you know
that the surgery might not work
415
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,055
cos there's not many puppies,
is there, really,
416
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,055
that, you know,
that this has happened to? So...
417
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,775
You've-you've... She's cried.
You were a mess over the weekend.
418
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,215
Even Martin is
in unchartered waters.
419
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,775
This is not a surgery
that I've ever clone before.
420
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,575
Right. Let's see what we can do.
421
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:24,655
We're just praying that...
something can be clone, aren't you?
422
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,495
OK, so, really long incision here.
423
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,455
David's told me that
424
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,735
he could have gone
and watched the football tonight,
425
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,855
so that is dedication.
426
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,295
A late shift to deliver
a lambing lesson.
427
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,535
It sounds like Rice Krispies
kind of crackling and gurgling.
428
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,535
While there's not much snap
or crackle, but plenty of poop...
429
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,535
I'm gonna go and inspect them.
WOMAN: You go and have a look!
430
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,215
...from Peter's poorly patient.
431
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,975
Yeah,
they are a little bit dry, those.
432
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,735
SECOND WOMAN: Yeah, they're dry,
aren't they? They are dry, yeah.
433
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,215
CHRISTOPHER: In Huddersfield,
Martin, Charlotte and Bernie
434
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,575
are performing critical surgery on
three-month-old Chihuahua Luna...
435
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,735
What we want to do now
is to enter into the abdomen.
436
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,255
...who has
a life-threatening build-up
437
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,975
of fluid called chyle
in her chest.
438
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,695
Right, then.
439
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,255
So, we're going to see if
we can cut through the sternum here.
440
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,495
OK, that's us into the chest now.
441
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,255
So, that is the fluid that's been
accumulating in Luna's chest.
442
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,895
That's really abnormal,
that shouldn't be there at all.
443
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,095
So that's what we need to deal with.
444
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,335
So, we want to try to
suction this material out now.
445
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:55,575
It's a bit strange,
446
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,015
I can feel her heart beating
against my finger there,
447
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,295
which is not a sensation you have
every clay.
448
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,415
There's still quite a lot of...
449
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,975
chyle fluid accumulating in here
as we go.
450
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,175
There's a lot sitting
in the floor of the abdomen.
451
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,455
It's not easy, this.
452
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,455
It's been a bit difficult
because Luna is so small,
453
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,455
but I'm happy
with how things are going.
454
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,655
For a little dog...
455
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,175
she's got some stamina.
456
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,015
The CO2's gone up,
so that shows that there's no leaks.
457
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,215
We're just putting
the last couple of stitches in.
458
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,975
She's certainly not
out the woods yet.
459
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,695
The chest drain we'll keep in
for a clay or so,
460
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,775
and what I'm hoping is
that we're not gonna have
461
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,855
any more chyle coming out
through that chest drain.
462
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,655
If that dries up, hopefully,
she should go on and do well.
463
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,895
There we go. We're clone.
464
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,375
Yep. There we go.
Yay. Yay.
465
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,815
Fantastic.
Oh, can breathe now!
466
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,735
Thank you. Thank you, guys.
467
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,175
Today's been quite a tough clay,
I'm feeling pretty tired after that.
468
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,895
It's kind of challenging surgery.
469
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,055
In fact, it's probably
470
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,415
one of the most challenging
surgeries that I've clone.
471
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,215
But in the end, I'm really, really
pleased with how things have gone.
472
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,255
Although a Yorkshire Vet is
only ever a phone call away
473
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,535
during lambing season...
474
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,655
...Shona and the Huddersfield team
475
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,335
want to help farmers help themselves
at their busiest time of year.
476
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,335
'We've invited all our sheep clients
up for an evening on lambing.'
477
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:45,295
Some of them are experienced
at lambing,
478
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,175
some of them are
just starting out with sheep.
479
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,655
So, we've got
a few different practical stations
480
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,775
set up with the vets.
481
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,455
Our clients are also our friends,
482
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,215
and we always like to share
the knowledge that we have,
483
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,655
to give them the skills
to look after the animals
484
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,615
in the absolute best way
that they can.
485
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,975
Even if they just take away
one thing from this evening
486
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,335
that will positively affect
their animals at home,
487
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:05,375
that's all they want.
488
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,935
Thanks for coming, everyone.
Hope you enjoy the evening.
489
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,855
So, David, you're here.
490
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,415
Doing abnormal presentations,
so mix-ups and various things.
491
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,495
And then Rohin is on here.
492
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,415
I'm doing orphan lambs,
artificial rearing.
493
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,335
And then I'll be over there.
494
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:29,135
So, we'll do, like, questions
about caring for ewes.
495
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:31,695
Push the backside forward.
496
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,495
Number one thing that vets do
that farmers don't
497
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,175
is what we call retro pulsion.
498
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,495
Just pushing it back in again.
499
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,175
Everyone thinks,
"Got a bit, get it out."
500
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,815
Disengage from the pelvis and just
get into the abdomen a little bit,
501
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,055
and you've suddenly got
502
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,575
all this space to manipulate
and work out what's going on.
503
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,295
The first 24 hours when a lamb
is born is absolutely critical
504
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,575
to get the first milk
from the mother into the system.
505
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,175
That's where all the antibodies
come from.
506
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,575
It's really good.
507
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,455
I think
everyone's getting quite involved.
508
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,815
David and Rohin are getting
very stuck in.
509
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,775
David's told me
he could've watched the football,
510
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,215
so that is dedication.
SHE LAUGHS
511
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,335
The main thing is,
512
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:09,975
the practical thing is to show you
tubing technique.
513
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,655
If it's in the right spot,
you'll hear gurgling.
514
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,935
It sounds like Rice Krispies
crackling and gurgling.
515
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,735
Then you can relax
and you can give them milk
516
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,935
and everything will be fine.
517
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,935
It's really nice to pass on
some of this knowledge.
518
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,175
This was knowledge that I was taught
by really experienced farmers
519
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,855
when I was a vet student.
520
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,575
Ancl to be able to give it back
to other people
521
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,495
who are in the same position I was
when I was trying to learn,
522
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,215
it's quite a nice feeling
to be able to do that.
523
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,255
This is also for the sick ewe.
524
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,895
So, it's a drench.
525
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,295
It's amazing how much fluids
can help make something better.
526
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,175
It's the first time for me,
and it's been really, really useful.
527
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,775
So, I feel more confident now
that if any issues arise
528
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,975
with my two ladies,
I'll be all right.
529
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,295
There's been some new stuff
that I didn't know last year,
530
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,015
so fingers crossed
we won't have to use it all,
531
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,815
but it's always good to know.
532
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,215
Even tonight's host,
533
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,735
experienced farmer Dan,
has benefited.
534
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,815
But maybe not as much as he'd hoped.
535
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,095
There's a lot of experience
the vets have,
536
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:17,655
and it's good to learn new things.
537
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,295
I wish we could have a caesarean
tonight.
538
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,095
They might not charge me,
it might be a good do.
539
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:22,735
DAN LAUGHS
540
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,175
Right, thanks very much, everyone,
for coming.
541
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,895
I hope everyone's enjoyed it.
542
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,855
Just like to say
a really big thank you
543
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,095
to all of the vets who...
544
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:32,535
they've all come out
in their free time this evening
545
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,335
to help us out and so thanks, guys.
546
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,255
APPLAUSE
547
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,575
So, that's been really good.
548
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,615
I enjoy getting everyone together,
keeping up the community spirit.
549
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,895
There's something about
keeping animals that, you know,
550
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,535
it gives you something to your soul.
551
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,255
Ancl you can see the enjoyment when
they're talking about the sheep.
552
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,135
They're excited
about lambing happening.
553
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,855
It's a fun journey to go on,
and we're there to help them.
554
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,175
Over in Kirkbymoorside,
lecturer-turned-sheep farmer Ian...
555
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,335
That's it.
556
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:14,735
...recently learnt from
Peter's vast lambing experience.
557
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,935
IAN: Is she alive?
558
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,975
SHEEP BLEATS
559
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,615
PETER: Yeah.
Yeah. Good.
560
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,295
Let's give her a swing.
561
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,975
Nice lamb
Yeah.
562
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,455
Now, Ian's lambing season
is nearly over.
563
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,775
There we go.
564
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,135
I think lambing
is really, really exciting.
565
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,815
I think sometimes there's
always a bit of nerves beforehand,
566
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,695
and because I'm fairly new to it,
567
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,895
there's always some learning
to be clone as well.
568
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,655
I think it's like a lot of jobs,
providing you are prepared,
569
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,415
then the rest isn't too bad.
570
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,175
The kind of emotional side of it is,
it's fantastic, it's enjoyable.
571
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,855
Particularly
this time of clay as well,
572
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,215
because this is when
the lambs really start playing,
573
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,975
and one of the best parts
is seeing the lambs in a field.
574
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,855
This is where they're happiest.
575
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,695
It's really just lovely
to see them grow.
576
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,095
But the problems don't stop once
all the lambs are safely delivered.
577
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:14,375
Is she pooing?
She's pooing on me.
578
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,255
Back at the practice,
Peter's next patient...
579
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,415
Morning.
Morning.
580
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,095
...is a new arrival
who's proving a challenge
581
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:24,295
for Annie and her mum, Donna.
582
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,655
DONNA: This is Stripe, our pet lamb.
583
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,015
She took a bottle fine
this morning... Yeah.
584
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,575
...and then about an hour ago,
she was laid and wouldn't get up.
585
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,935
Mm-hm. And she was rolling
as though she was in pain.
586
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,855
Right. We thought we'd better
get her checked out.
587
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,215
Since being here,
she's done quite a lot of poos
588
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,895
on the floor.
Are the poos still there?
589
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,535
They are.
I'm gonna go and inspect them.
590
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,735
You go and have a look!
THEY LAUGH
591
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,055
Yeah, they are a little bit dry.
Yeah, they're dry, aren't they?
592
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,975
Yeah, they are dry, yeah.
Right.
593
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,535
Is she drinking water at all?
They have water, yeah.
594
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,535
Ancl has it gone down at all,
the water?
595
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,415
The water does disappear, yes.
It does? Good.
596
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,775
But I'm not sure if that's because
it gets knocked over...
597
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,135
Right, 0|<.
..or, yeah.
598
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,575
Looking at her face,
599
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,215
she doesn't look particularly
happy with life. No.
600
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,095
Can we pop her on the table now?
Yeah.
601
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,255
Right, I'm just going to have a feel
up her bum now.
602
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,935
Not too bad there.
603
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,735
Just these small dry poos.
604
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,455
That tells me that she's
not been drinking enough, really.
605
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,495
Right.
606
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,695
Ancl she's quite gassy in there
as well. Mm.
607
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,935
Now, when you said
about her lying, rolling,
608
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,775
that's typical colic, stomach pain.
609
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,495
Yeah.
So, she's got stomach pain.
610
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,855
Have to say, for a pet lamb,
611
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,535
you're doing remarkably well
with her.
612
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,695
Oh, thank you.
613
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,055
She's in really good condition.
They're spoilt.
614
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,535
What do they go to bed with
on a night?
615
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,775
Hot water bottle.
616
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,695
Hot water bottle?
Yeah.
617
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,935
How lovely, how lovely.
618
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:04,455
Right, this little lamb
for some reason is, er,
619
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,815
I suppose the best way
is constipated.
620
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,575
So, I'm going to attack this
in two ways.
621
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,495
I'm going to give her some fluids
and lubricant by mouth.
622
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,495
I'm going to give her an injection
for tummy pain as well.
623
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,455
Right, are you hanging on tight?
Yeah.
624
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,855
Cos she won't like this bit.
625
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,695
Good girl.
626
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,655
Would you hold her mouth shut
for me now?
627
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,775
Gonna give her some of...
628
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,815
That's fine.
629
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,295
OK.
Good girl.
630
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,855
Right. Lovely. Thank you very much.
Ah. Clever girl.
631
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,215
Good girl.
Well done!
632
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,055
She was very well-behaved.
She was good, wasn't she?
633
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,175
Really good.
Now this will just sting a bit.
634
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,735
I'm sorry.
Good girl.
635
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,415
That's what we call a spasmolytic.
636
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,815
When you've got
this type of problem
637
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,215
and you've got gut pain,
that'll alleviate it.
638
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,735
So, hopefully,
that should do the trick.
639
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,095
Thank you.
That's lovely.
640
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,975
Oh, talk of the devi... 'Ey!
641
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,895
'Ey up, it's working instantly!
642
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,535
DONNA LAUGHS
643
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,975
That was quick!
644
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,255
I'd like to say the medication
worked very quickly
645
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,535
but I can't claim that!
646
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,975
THEY LAUGH
647
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,335
Oh, dear! We'll leave you a mess.
648
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,175
Jolly good. Right.
Thank you.
649
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,535
If I don't hear from you,
I'll assume you're all right.
650
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,615
Thank you.
Nice to see you.
651
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,055
Thank you.
Be good, Stripe.
652
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,935
Thank you, bye-bye.
Bye-Bye.
653
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,015
Back in Huddersfield,
654
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,335
it's two days
since Martin's life-saving surgery
655
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,655
to remove fluid from Luna
the Chihuahua puppy's chest.
656
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,495
But there's been a setback.
657
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,855
We've just clone a little review
with Luna, and unfortunately,
658
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,895
we still have some chyle
appearing in her chest.
659
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,175
So, unless we're able
to resolve this problem,
660
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,375
Luna just won't make it.
661
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,575
So, Martin, Nicole and Kersha
662
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,975
are prepping the poor puppy
for surgery once more.
663
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,055
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
664
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,055
We've got 54 mils there.
665
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,375
This is your type of dog, Nicole,
isn't it?
666
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,935
How many Chihuahuas have you got?
just two. just two?
667
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,335
Nicole is our resident
Chihuahua expert.
668
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,615
There is definitely
something about her, though.
669
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:32,695
So sweet.
670
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,935
I can't believe, we haven't had
a dog in for a long time
671
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,215
that everybody
has fallen in love with,
672
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,015
in the way they have with Luna.
673
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,615
She's made a lot of friends
while she's been in here.
674
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,615
They always say clogs
look like their owners
675
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,455
and you're probably
not the largest veterinary nurse
676
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,815
as part of the team,
677
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,015
so maybe there's a connection there.
I do get that a lot.
678
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,015
THEY ALL LAUGH
679
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,775
I must be like a Labrador, then.
680
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,735
See, I don't think
you look like a Labrador.
681
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,455
Do you not think so?
What does he look like?
682
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,615
Like a Shih Tzu maybe.
ALL LAUGH
683
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,975
I'm joking.
684
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,735
You asked.
I'm not quite sure how to take that!
685
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,855
More terrier-like
in his quest to help Luna,
686
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,735
Martin has a new plan to tackle
the chyle fluid in her chest.
687
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,215
This is our drainage device.
688
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,695
So, we've got the tube,
689
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,775
which is going to pass through
Luna's chest wall
690
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,135
and into her chest.
691
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,375
It's then going to connect
onto this little device here,
692
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,055
which will sit underneath her skin.
693
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,455
So, her skin will be over the top
there,
694
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,495
but we'll be able to put a needle
through her skin,
695
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,335
through the little silicon
diaphragm, on the top here
696
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,015
and be able to drain the chyle
from her chest.
697
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,375
A little incision here.
698
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,815
OK, that's good.
699
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,735
Gosh, everything's just so fiddly
with her, isn't it?
700
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,975
She's just so very small.
701
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,695
So that's just all nicely
in position.
702
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,775
There we go.
703
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:11,415
Ancl that's her drain in.
704
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,815
Luna's doing really well.
705
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,615
She's back
in the intensive care ward.
706
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,695
Kersha's clone a fantastic job
with her an aesthetic today,
707
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:27,615
and she's a tough little cookie,
708
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,935
so we've just got to keep
a really close watch on her
709
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,175
over the next few hours.
710
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,135
Still to come...
711
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,695
Oh, my word, Ada.
712
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:43,775
...it's duck and cover
forjulian and Lucy.
713
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,775
She's gonna look like the
coolest duck in the neighbourhood.
714
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,135
And will Luna's owners...
715
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,015
I can't even put into words
what this week's been like.
716
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,295
...be over the moon?
717
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,935
My teacher says,
718
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,655
"Get them negative knickers off
and put them positive pants on."
719
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:09,680
SHE CHUCKLES
720
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,815
At the practice in Wetherby,
721
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,735
the team are trying to help
an orphaned baby owl.
722
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,015
So, do you think the mum
might be injured or dead?
723
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,775
I think Mum is not there any more,
724
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,095
but hopefully, they can be
hand-reared back to good health...
725
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,255
Yeah, they should be good.
726
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,855
...and released in the wild. Yeah.
727
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,615
They're amazing.
728
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,975
Thing is they can turn their heads
right round,
729
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,055
so they don't need to be facing...
Ooh, Christ!
730
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,655
What have you done, Franc?
731
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,015
It's fine,
it's just having a wander around.
732
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,895
It's hopping into theatre.
The baby owl has escaped.
733
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,855
It's a little baby.
It could still fly away, though.
734
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,535
No, it cannot fly away...
It was running away, Lucy.
735
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,375
It's like me running to
t'dinner room...
736
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,735
when someone brings
some chocolates in.
737
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,135
We're hoping that he can be
re-introduced back in the wild.
738
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,535
C0oL
739
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,135
Don't let go of it again, Franc!
740
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,855
Julian's next patient
is another bird,
741
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,255
who's currently
a little less mobile.
742
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,135
You all right?
743
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,615
Jody's back
with his pet Mandarin duck Ada,
744
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,975
who had a badly broken leg.
745
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,895
Do you want to come through?
Yeah, yeah.
746
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,655
And he's hoping
Julian will give him positive news.
747
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,095
My bandage that you took off,
748
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,175
and then there's nothing
supporting it, then, now.
749
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,895
No, no, it's come off
through the night.
750
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,815
I just want to feel what
the foot looks like first. Yeah.
751
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,895
Ada, are you feeling a bit better?
752
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,295
She's a little feisty.
Oops. Come here, Ada.
753
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,015
Ah, that's great, isn't it?
Yeah, it is, yeah.
754
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,895
So, two days ago,
this foot was cold like ice,
755
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,255
and we were worried
the blood supply had gone,
756
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,655
and therefore the leg
might need to be removed.
757
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:57,055
But this has totally come back to...
758
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,695
well, it feels like... it's healthy.
759
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:03,055
Yeah.
And it looks like it's healthy.
760
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,455
The problem we haven't
managed to address is...
761
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,815
the fact that
it's still unsupported.
762
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,615
It's easier said than done!
I know.
763
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,815
Oi! Ow, Ada!
764
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,215
I'm trying to help.
765
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,575
Keeping a bandage on a duck is...
Not easy.
766
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,975
...is not easy, as we're discovering.
Yeah.
767
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,215
So... I just wonder if I can
somehow just put it like that.
768
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,975
Well, I'm trying to...
769
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,535
strap the...
770
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,135
strap the leg up...
771
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,975
so that it stays off the ground.
772
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,055
I don't know whether that's...
Do you see what I mean?
773
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,975
It just means it won't be dragging.
774
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,095
But nurse Lucy's had an idea.
775
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,615
Duck a I'orange is out.
Leopard skin is in.
776
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,175
My word, Ada, just when you thought
that my orange bandage was...
777
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,495
That's her style as well.
They're designed for cats.
778
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,095
Keep your head down Ada,
just duck.
779
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,895
THEY ALL CH UCKLE
780
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,375
She's going to look like the
coolest duck in the neighbourhood.
781
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,415
Yeah, I know.
782
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,735
It's just like the birthday present
I wrapped up for my wife yesterday.
783
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,015
I didn't buy her a duck.
784
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,735
I'd like a duck,
if someone bought me one.
785
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,055
Would you?
Yeah.
786
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,935
Right.
787
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,175
Should be all right, I think, yeah.
788
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,535
It'll keep it stable,
it will keep it up,
789
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,495
and keep it out of the way.
Thanks, Lucy.
790
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,615
And it stays relatively stable.
791
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,975
I think she's got a good chance.
Oh, good.
792
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,215
Poor Ada does look a bit silly
in the leopard print leotard...
793
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,135
...but I think,
in terms of function,
794
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,495
it's a good way
of keeping things together,
795
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,175
and I'm fairly positive now
that she'll do OK.
796
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,175
And a couple of months later...
Hello!
797
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,535
Ada! Hello.
798
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,215
...even though she's happy to take
shelter back in the recovery area
799
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:18,735
on a rainy day,
Ada is no longer a lame duck.
800
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,495
I thought she'd be hobbling,
but, yeah, she's fully recovered.
801
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,095
The leg looks really well.
802
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,495
You can't see where it's been broken
or anything.
803
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,095
She's got Minnie.
Minnie is her friend.
804
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,455
I like to see them happy,
805
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,295
having a swim in the little pond
they've got.
806
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,975
And, yeah,
just seeing them happy together.
807
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,095
The outcome didn't look good
at first,
808
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,975
but it seems back to normal
and looking really well.
809
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,775
In Huddersfield,
Martin's performed two operations
810
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,455
on Chihuahua puppy Luna
811
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,335
and fitted a drain so the fluid
can be removed from her chest.
812
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,255
Luna!
Aw, bless her.
813
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,615
Number one fan.
Let's have a look.
814
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,575
That's all looking really good.
815
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,655
And after a week without her,
816
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,015
owners Claire and Libby
are back at the hospital.
817
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,775
It's been
an absolute roller-coaster.
818
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,255
I can't even put into words
what this week's been like.
819
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,495
It's been horrible.
820
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,895
You've been telling me
to stop crying, haven't you? Yeah.
821
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,015
You're not going to cry.
I'm not going to cry this time.
822
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,895
You need to stay positive.
I know.
823
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,215
My teacher says,
"Get them negative knickers off
824
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:39,975
"and put them positive pants on."
825
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,415
Where are we going?
826
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,255
You know where you're going,
don't you? You know.
827
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,455
Come on, then.
Do you want to come in?
828
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,255
Come on through.
Oh, she's desperate to get to you.
829
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,895
I know, bubba.
830
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,815
Do you know, that just
makes everything worthwhile.
831
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,615
Makes everything worthwhile.
832
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,615
She's such a happy little soul,
isn't she?
833
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,095
She really, she's...
This is why I couldn't give up.
834
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,495
I know. I couldn't.
Yeah, absolutely.
835
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,255
LAUGHTER
836
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,655
So, I know you weren't
absolutely expecting it,
837
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,055
but how do you think
you would manage
838
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,175
if we were to let her go home
with you today?
839
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,495
What do you think?
840
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,615
Yeah?
841
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,815
HE LAUGHS
842
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,935
How does this rank
as an exciting clay?
843
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,535
Infinity and beyond.
844
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,215
It's just so rewarding
when we get an outcome like this.
845
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,935
27 years in practice, and
this feeling never dulls at all.
846
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:58,215
This is good a feeling as it was
when I had my first clay in practice.
847
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,255
Five weeks later,
848
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,935
Luna has settled back into
a happy and healthy life at home.
849
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,015
Cuddle, cuddle, cuddle.
Where you off?
850
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,855
Where you off to?
851
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:22,495
With intensive care nurse Claire
putting her expertise to good use.
852
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,175
So, we need to build her back up,
and then keep draining this chest,
853
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,455
and fingers crossed
it'll get less and less,
854
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,055
and then we won't have to do it
any more.
855
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,975
This is the substance
that comes out.
856
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,375
It's a different colour every day.
I think it depends what she eats.
857
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,935
She's just so accepting.
She's so laid back.
858
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,815
She's brilliant.
She's getting to the stage where now
859
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,335
she knows that it's going to
feel better once it's been done.
860
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:46,935
Good girl!
861
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,935
If I have to do this for
the rest of her life, then so be it,
862
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,455
that's what we'll do, and obviously
to keep my daughter happy.
863
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,535
TOY SQUEAKS
864
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,815
SCREAMS
What was that?
865
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,575
What's this?
866
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:02,815
She loves my daughter,
867
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,495
and how can you give up on an animal
that loves your child so much?
868
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,375
