The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick

Noel and his team help a blue Russian cat with a shattered jaw, a Labrador cross with a lame back leg, and a six-month-old Chihuahua with a wonky leg.

Nurse Steph's cat is brought in after being poisoned. A Polish sheepdog needs an elbow replacement. And a self-confessed 'crazy cat lady' from Belfast visits with a ginger tom.

A Staffordshire bull terrier has a complete paralysis in his back legs. And a Devon rex cat is struck by a car, leaving its eight-year-old owner with a tough decision.

Noel pushes the boundaries of life-saving medicine with surgery on an alsatian puppy. There's also a young Chihuahua with a neck deformity in need of delicate surgery.

It's Christmas, and Noel is busier than ever, with a sleigh-pulling Alaskan malamute's bad knees, a cocker spaniel with a shattered jaw and a cute dachshund puppy

Noel treats a cockapoo puppy called Henry, who has a fractured neck. There is also a Romanian stray known as Geoffrey, whose front legs are so badly deformed that he can barely walk.

A five-year-old Great Dane is Noel's first patient today and it's lost use of it's back legs. The dog is soon left fighting for it's life as it's slipped disk causes a overly-complicated operation. A ten-year-old collie with hip dysplasia is also treated.

A Newfoundland called Billy needs treatment on it's legs. A tiny Yorkshire terrier has a deformity in it's neck that is causing spinal chord problems, so Noel has to carry out a extremely high-risk operation with guarantee of success.

Ruth and Chris have spent their lives rescuing stray animals. Can Noel save their three-legged cat Jersey? There's also a dog with a dodgy elbow and a two metre tall Great Dane.

Fitzpatrick Referrals is used to dealing with emergencies. But when a young cockapoo called Orla gets hit by a lawn mower, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick fears the worst. Noel's challenge is to save as much of the leg as possible. Samantha, who suffers from a rare brain condition, has a special bond with seven-year-old Labrador, Scooby. But Scooby has been struggling with pain in his elbows, and Noel needs to investigate the extent of the problem. And Kane, a German Shepherd-Collie cross, is struggling with a bulging disk in his spine and hip dysplasia.

Noel helps Hetty the Labrador - a guide and seizure dog that's lame. There's also a Rhodesian Ridgeback with a tumour and a sickly Tibetan terrier.

A young family rush to the clinic with their Chihuahua, that's been hit by a car and has a crushed pelvis. And Banjo, a much-loved spaniel is brought in with problem hips.
