Vets in Practice

The young vets have been at work for almost a year. Alison Lee performs an emergency blood transfusion on a kitten called Chip. Joe Inglis plays Cupid to tortoises Ben and Bluebell. Emma Milne has to deal with one of her regular and most troublesome patients, Reggie, a large Vietnamese pot-bellied pig.

Trude Mostue gets more than she bargains for when she treats a Rottweiler puppy which has a painful limp in Bristol. Fiona Green tries to perform a dental operation on Rex , a police tracker dog in Bodmin. Mike Sandiford, back from Botswana, gets a job with a small practice and discovers he's made a mistake.

Steve Leonard devises an ingenious remedy for a calf struggling for breath, while his younger brother Keith prepares for his final exams at veterinary college. Meanwhile, Emma Milne has just returned from holiday when she sees an advert for a specialist surgery job at her old vet school in Langford near Bristol. It's her dream job, but will she get it? Also based in Bristol, Alison Lee is dealing with a case of poisoning; out-of-date flea treatment has made Blackie the cat extremely ill. That's not the only thing on her mind. Her wedding to fellow vet Craig Beck is just months away.

Late summer brings a chance for Trude Mostue to take a well-earned rest when she goes back to Norway to see her family. Meanwhile, Emma Milne performs a cow caesarean while she waits to hear whether she has got her dream job, and in Devon her boyfriend, Joe Inglis, treats an injured fox.

Emma Milne discovers the result of her application to work at Bristol vets' school. Trude Mostue becomes attached to an eight-week-old Labrador puppy, Georgia, she suspects has a fatal disease; will she be able to save its life? Hannah Pollard attempts to save a cardiac arrest victim - an elderly Yorkshire terrier, Sophie.

Trude Mostue is concerned about Georgia, a Labrador puppy she treated in Bristol, and 200 miles away, Steve Leonard's confronted with an epileptic terrier, Rex. Meanwhile, having both resigned from their jobs, Joe Inglis and Emma Milne enjoy the long hot summer at a grassboard competition near Brighton.

Being bitten is an occupational hazard for vets, but is one that Trude Mostue has managed to avoid - until she meets a retriever named Annie. Meanwhile Fiona Green settles into her new practice in Reading, where she encounters a homeless dog, Patch, who will need to change his ways if he is to find a new home.

Hannah Pollard starts her new job in Southend and has an unusual first patient - a lovesick chinchilla. After five years of study, Keith Leonard finally qualifies as a vet, but his first day in the Carmarthen surgery proves trying when he is bitten by a miniature pony. Meanwhile, his brother Steve decides on a date for the Bachelors' Ball.

It's early autumn and Alison Lee and Craig Beck are just a week away from their wedding, but the veterinary work goes on. Alison is faced with a Yorkshire terrier that may have cancer, and Craig helps a newly qualified vet treat a German shepherd with breathing problems. Things improve for Joe Inglis and Emma Milne when she is offered a job and the two of them decide to live together.

Alison Lee's wedding is only two days off, but she's still hard at work treating Pugsley, a puppy with a sore bottom. Joe Inglis is back at work in Halesowen faced with a dog who has eaten a wooden coathanger, while Trude Mostue's patient is a ginger cat with a limp tail. Back in Bristol, Alison's fiancé Craig Beck is getting anxious about the wedding, while Hannah Pollard and Emma Milne are just worrying about what to wear. The big day finally arrives and everyone is moved by Craig's speech.
