Vet Maurice is called to an extraordinarily rare birth, equine vet Inge tries to help a dangerous donkey, and Rachel helps a hedgehog who’s woken early from hibernation.

A pregnant sheep must undergo an emergency caesarean, while Flame the dachshund and Monty the fell pony present worrying symptoms that put the vets' knowledge to the test.

Rachael attends to a cow with a potentially fatal displaced stomach, and vet Martin operates on a valuable sheepdog to try to save its injured leg.

Maurice delivers a valuable litter of 11 sniffer dogs, Rachel operates on a therapy dog with possible cancerous skin growths, and a woman with Asperger's adopts a wild bird.

The vets care for animals with all kinds of value - from high worth racehorses to pedigree bulls and irreplaceable family pets.

With the spring rush over, the vets have more time to enjoy the rewards of the job. Maurice checks on some otter pups, Daisy saves a cow's life and Miriam heads to a country fair.
