Just another day at Skeldale House? Hardly. This week, The Yorkshire Vet finds Peter Wright facing a particularly pastoral predicament: a pregnant ewe trapped beneath a railway bridge. Because nothing says rural charm like a distressed animal delaying train schedules. It’s a race against time to ensure the well-being of both the ewe and her unborn lambs, a task made even more complicated by escaped sheep causing traffic chaos on the roads. One can only imagine the colorful commentary Peter musters during this distinctly Yorkshire crisis.
Meanwhile, Julian Norton turns to cutting-edge veterinary technology in an attempt to resolve a rough collie’s persistent leg problems. Will high-tech solutions be enough to get this pooch back on all fours? Over at the Huddersfield hospital, Matt Smith demonstrates the surprising breadth of veterinary practice as he tackles the delicate surgery of removing tumors from a Koi carp. Who knew ornamental fish could require such intricate care? And rounding out the menagerie of medical marvels, Shona Searson examines a pony with unusual lumps, providing a learning opportunity for young vet Lizzie. It’s all hooves, paws, fins, and feathers in this episode of The Yorkshire Vet.
The Yorkshire Vet airs Monday, December 23, 2024, at 8:00 PM on Channel 5.
