Emergency Trip to Help an Expecting Horse (1x14)

Air date: May 07, 2009

In an after hours emergency six month old Boxer puppy has been rushed into the Bondi clinic to see Dr Chris. Buddy's system is shutting down because of a severe allergic reaction to a sting from a wasp. His face is badly swollen and his airwaves are constricting. If Dr Chris doesn't act quickly in just a few hours the puppy will not be able to breathe at all. Dr Chris is also forced to make an emergency trip to see a valuable breeding mare - Harriet. She is several days overdue and her owners are now worried the foal could have died or is in a breech position. Meanwhile over at SASH, a much loved family pet, 11 year old golden retriever Jesse, has been brought into see Dr Lisa, after it was hit by a car and suffered a broken back. Surgery to fuse her spine should have her walking again but a week later Jesse still has no movement in her back legs. Her devoted family refuse to give up hope. A tiny puggle with a foot fetish refuses to let anybody clip his nails. Named Dazza - after the Brisbane Broncos rugby league star, Darren Lockyer - this little pocket rocket is making a last stand. Can Dr Chris tackle this problem? And we check up on the progress of one of your favourites, Rosie, the beautiful golden retriever who underwent a major operation to fix her deformed front legs.
