The Yorkshire Vet

The Yorkshire Vet captures the real-life drama, laughter, and tears as vets across four Yorkshire practices treat animals of all shapes and sizes. This week, Matt has a daunting encounter with Manu, a caiman alligator at the zoo, and Julian's delicate surgery on a degu with an eye issue. Shona stays cautious around a bull, and Peter's urgent care helps a bichon frisé struggling in labour. 

In this special episode, Julian Norton leaves Herriot Country for the Scottish Highlands, visiting the practice where he began his veterinary career in Thurso. It's not long before he is reminded just how tough a place it is to be a vet, because he's not just there for a catchup with his old mentor - he has to get his hands dirty and assist with a cow who has prolapsed, as well as an extremely challenging lambing. Back in Thirsk, Jean Green is worried about one of her cats who is passing blood.

David Melleney rushes out to help a farmer and her young son, whose pet ewe is struggling to give birth. Peter Wright's client is a much more experienced farmer. But his old friend Brian's cow has a strange problem that has both him and the veteran vet scratching their heads. Rohin Aojula needs to operate on his own pet cat for the second time. The first surgery saved her life after she arrived at the animal hospital as a stray. Now he's adopted her, he's feeling the nerves even more. Meanwhile, at Julian Norton's practice, the team head into theatre with an excitable springer spaniel puppy who has injured his tail.
