Fern Britton: Inside the Vet's

Fern Britton assists vet Dr James Greenwood when he performs doggy dentistry on a spaniel and scrubs up for theatre as a 10-year-old Cavachon undergoes orthopaedic surgery.

It's a busy day for the vets as a puppy may need surgery, a temperamental cat needs a trim, Izzy the Vizsla has a poorly paw and Gus the Border Collie is getting castrated.

The vets investigate why a senior cat is out of sorts, Rusty the Labrador's lost appetite puzzles vet James, and a specialist hydrotherapy clinic aids two dogs' mobility.

Fern Britton goes behind the scenes at Grove Vets and meets more owners and pets needing care like rescue dog Flossie, a former racer starting a new life as a therapy dog.

Fern Britton helps out once more at The Grove Vets in Bristol, where patients include a rescue cat with diabetes and a King Charles Spaniel who needs a lump removed.

Fern meets a Cocker Spaniel entering the surgery for a scan on a potentially cancerous lump, and vet James worries about a British Shorthair cat with a limp in its legs.
