Giving Pearl the Seal Another Chance at Seeing (4x9)

Data di messa in onda: Apr 03, 2012

It’s a busy time at the clinic for Chris this week- a morning walk has gone tragically wrong for Tigger andhis distressed owner Bernadette. A street cleaner spooked the five year old and sent him charging into a car. Chris is trying to calm them both down to find out the extent of Tigger’s injuries. Then, a large tick has been found and removed from the loveable chubby Albert. The only problem is 24 hours later he’s suddenly deteriorated. Owner Penny is feeling guilty and blames herself for not coming to the vet sooner. Her two little girls are now pinning their hopes on Chris to get Albert through the danger. Meanwhile, Dr Lisa is out of SASH and on her way to help a special friend. 15 year old Pearl used to be the star of the show at the Pet Porpoise Pool in Coffs Harbour. The much loved fur seal was rescued on a beach when she was 2 after a fishing hook blinded her right eye, now a cataract in her left eye has left her blind and terrified. A special surgical team is being sent in to try to restore her eyesight and quality of life, but putting a seal under anaesthetic is high risk and there are no guarantees Pearl will survive the operation.
