A Burmese mountain dog has a painful bulging disc, which Noel hopes to replace with a bespoke titanium spacer screw, while cat Elmo has a complex fracture to its left back leg after being hit by a car.2Episode 2A French bulldog is brought in after collapsing and struggling to move, and after a full medical assessment, Noel realises an exploded disc in the dog's neck is pressuring its spine to such an extent it is slowly causing paralysis. The vet also treats an excitable Staffordshire bull terrier suffering from a problem where the bones in its elbows do not fit properly and a cat that has been shot with an airgun.3Episode 3Noel treats 15-stone English mastiff Bear, who has a ruptured ligament in his knee - but as the dog goes into theatre, a major team effort is needed to get this massive patient through surgery.
