Inside Animal A&E

This week at the Blue Cross in Grimsby, Labrador Scooby is in to have some lumps removed from around his eye and scaredy cat Wotsit finally makes it in for his jabs. Receptionist Hannah has overcome a major hurdle in starting her Vet Nurse training and today she is helping in the kennels. Vet Alison is in theatre with an unusually tiny patient – Squeaky the rat has a growth in his stomach that needs removing – and the vets reveal some of the more unusual animals they have been called upon to treat.

Tonight, animal ambulance driver Lee is picking up plus-size patient Bob the cat – whose excess weight is causing him some serious health problems. Chief Vet Mark is in theatre operating on Angus who has some severe gum disease. At the mobile clinic, vet Charlotte deals with a Husky with a sore paw, and in Grimsby, vet Bev operates on dog Bandit – who has a worrying lump in his bladder which needs removing as soon as possible.

This week in the Blue Cross Hospital Grimsby, care assistant Debbie takes delivery of a very precious package, as a box of abandoned kittens arrive at the clinic; meanwhile vet Natasha and nurse Natalie are in surgery, neutering a couple of Chihuahua pups. In London, ambulance driver Sonia collects long term patient 15-year-old Bichon Frise Mitch, who urgently needs to see vet Aysha.

Jack Russell Poppy is taken by ambulance to the Hospital in Victoria as her elderly owner is worried her pet can't control her bladder, which could be a sign of a more serious health issue; elsewhere at the hospital chihuahua Pepe is in theatre with Maria for a delicate knee op. In Grimsby, blind rescue Husky Cloud is checked in for the day to have his diabetes monitored, and stray cat Kenny is the 200th to be brought to the hospital in Grimsby in a year, but he's in need of urgent treatment before the charity can find him a new home.
