The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick

Maya, a blue Russian cat, is brought into the surgery with a shattered jaw after a dog attack, and a man living in a homeless shelter brings in his best friend Spud, a Labrador cross with a lame back leg. Plus, Noel tries to help straighten a deformity in a six-month-old Chihuahua puppy's leg.

Nurse Steph's cat is brought in after being poisoned. A Polish sheepdog needs an elbow replacement. And a self-confessed 'crazy cat lady' from Belfast visits with a ginger tom.

A Staffordshire bull terrier has a complete paralysis in his back legs. And a Devon rex cat is struck by a car, leaving its eight year-old owner with a tough decision.

Noel pushes the boundaries of life-saving medicine with surgery on an alsatian. There's also a young Chihuahua with a neck deformity in need of delicate surgery.

Noel is busier than ever with a sleigh-pulling Alaskan malamute with bad knees
