The Yorkshire Vet

In this first episode of the new series, Peter deals with an emergency at the practice in Kirkbymoorside, when a local farming couple rush in their pregnant Texel ewe. At the Thirsk practice, Julian operates on a much-loved terrier called Lovejoy. He's suffering with bladder stones, just like owners Andrew and Nick's previous dog, who didn't survive. And they're worried they're set for more heartache over Lovejoy. Matt heads into challenging, stressful surgery on a chameleon called Miss Pickles, who has lots of eggs stuck inside her. Huddersfield vet Shona and her boyfriend James are approaching the big moment in their home-breeding adventure, with their first lambs due to be born. But they aren't coming as quickly as expected, and their time off work is nearly over. Julian enjoys a landmark birthday, but, although they're showering him with gifts, the Wetherby team aren't exactly in the most sensitive of moods! And it's been a difficult time at the Greens' farm as they've just lost their old donkey Mabel. Peter heads over to check on Mabel's old pal Cybil, who seems sad and lonely. So Peter has an idea to cheer them all up, and calls on the help of a couple of farming friends — two brothers from Barnsley.

Peter rushes to help a heavily pregnant cow who ‘isn't getting on with it' and, as she's expecting twins, which isn't common for cows, farmer Will is worried that neither calf will survive. Julian meets a ‘champion ferret', who's struggling with a badly infected swollen foot. Shona heads to see an old horse who is suffering with sore eyes: Barney has been by his owner Rachel's side for 24 years and she's desperate for him to be out of pain. Peter joins Matt at Jake Ratcliffe's animal sanctuary, where Leonard the miniature donkey needs taking in hand — he's been trying his luck with the bigger boys and his stablemate Catherine. Meanwhile, at the practice in Wetherby, new vet Ed has brought some fresh ideas with him, including dog acupuncture. And Julian's keen to try it for himself!

With a baby alpaca's life hanging in the balance, Julian performs an emergency blood plasma transfusion on the front lawn of the Thirsk practice. Peter meets a cat that has been on an unusual journey - she lives at a coach station after being taken in as a stray. However, she has made an unwanted stop at the surgery with a serious eye problem.

Peter Wright battles to deliver lambs who are stuck inside their mum, but is shocked by what he finds, while Julian Norton deals with an angry parrot that escapes in the surgery. A peaceful walk turns into a nightmare when a rescue lurcher is attacked by another dog, and Peter has a bright idea and calls on his new, young, farming friend Abbie to help his old pals Jean and Steve.

A rare-breed pony is in danger when she suffers a prolapsed uterus soon after giving birth, and while it's a relatively common problem in sheep and cows, it's the first time Shona has ever encountered the condition in a mare. A Great Dane called Phoebe has suffered a debilitating knee injury and Julian has a plan to fix the problem with complex surgery, and Peter heads out to treat a not-so-micro pig, who lives in the back garden of the man who runs his local chip shop.

Julian visits a familiar patient, a house pig who screamed the place down the first time.

Julian rushes into surgery with a Shih Tzu called Walter.

Julian is reunited with an alpaca he delivered when she develops a mystery eye problem.

Julian meets a five-month-old cockapoo with a badly broken leg. Elsewhere, Peter gets a scare when he tries to help a horse with some worrying cancerous growths, Matt operates on a cow with a nasty-looking tail problem, and Shona enters a showjumping competition.

A lamb is rushed to the Huddersfield hospital with a ruptured eye, but Matt also worries that there may be a problem with the lamb's other eye. Peter operates on a lovable Staffordshire Bull Terrier called Coco, and later Julian castrates a miniature pony.

In the final episode, Julian meets a very unusual creature, a European polecat called Poldark, and Peter heads to an old friend's farm on his day off to help with a tough lambing. Elsewhere, staff treat a French bulldog puppy that needs complex surgery on both elbows, and at Cannon Hall Farm, concern is growing for Dotty the sheep, who seems seriously ill.
