0:40:02 > 0:40:03This show features professionals
0:40:03 > 0:40:05working with potentially dangerous animals.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Please don't try anything you're about to see.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09BOTH: Got it?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11MOOING
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Did you know that now,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29right now, there are people all around the UK
0:40:29 > 0:40:34working their socks off to help wounded wildlife and poorly pets.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38We've got VIP passes for willing helpers to get to get stuck in
0:40:38 > 0:40:42at the busiest vets, wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centres.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43RATS!
0:40:43 > 0:40:48It's tough and dirty work, but somebody's got to do it.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53On today's show, Jack and Jack take charge at a busy animal hospital.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55So who we got here, then?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Olivier and Anna deal with DJ the wonky weeing goat.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Just as we cleaned you, seriously.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05'And Dick tackles flesh-eating fish.'
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Strong, aren't they?
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- You're cutting it a bit fine aren't you?- What do you mean?
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Here we are, in Scotland
0:41:12 > 0:41:16and you're meant to be helping animals 470 miles south in England.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- It's not a problem. Got my transport sorted.- What you got?
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- A hoop and stick. - Nice. Off you go. Good lad.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Careful of the speed cameras. - Will do!
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Here at Inglis Veterinary Hospital they provide their patients
0:41:30 > 0:41:32with the best care imaginable,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36so their owners can rest assured that their pet is in safe hands.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Also they use all of the latest cutting-edge technology.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42But will this be enough for today's helpers?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Or will their first trip to the vets, be their last?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Meet this lively pair of Jacks.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Let's call them Jack D and Jack R, so I don't get confused.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Joker Jack R is bonkers about birds of prey.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59But he doesn't like big barky dogs.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01When I was seven I got attacked.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04I'm even frightened of the wee small ones, too.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08He really wants to hit it off with four-legged friends, if he can.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10I would love a dog as pet,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13but there's no-one in to take care of it though.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17'Jack D like galloping gee gees.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20'But isn't fond of pongy pigs.'
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Smelly and unhygienic and not very nice looking.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27'Let's have that between two bits of bread.'
0:42:27 > 0:42:29They do make a good bacon roll.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33'Nice. But do you think you have the stomach to help with vet operations.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37The gore and the guts wouldn't be very nice.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- 'Jack R...?'- I love blood and guts and gore.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44'Interesting, because a busy day at a Dunfermline Veterinary Hospital
0:42:44 > 0:42:46'is on the cards for you two.'
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Here they are. All right, Jack.- Yeah.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- How you doing. Which one are you? - Jack.- Which makes you?- Jack.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Jack and Jack - that's not confusing.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59There's Jack D, so we remember you, and there's Jack R for you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03So out of interest, if you had a dog each what would you call yours?
0:43:03 > 0:43:07- Rover.- Rover.- Today's not going to be confusing at all, is it.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09I'm glad you're here to help out.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Here's some clothes to protect you.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Turn around, go get changed and I'll see you in a bit. Bye bye!
0:43:16 > 0:43:19This place never closes. They deal with poorly pets
0:43:19 > 0:43:23and animal emergencies day and night.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25So get your togs on Jacks,
0:43:25 > 0:43:28because vet Angela has your first big assignment.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Good timing, boys. We've just had a dog arrive
0:43:31 > 0:43:33who's coming in for an operation today.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35We need to go give him a check and make sure he's OK.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37- Want to help me out with that? - BOTH: Yes.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Look at that, that's a beast.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44- How are you feeling?- All right. - Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48He's a big, big dog. What breed is it?
0:43:48 > 0:43:50He's a bull mastiff.
0:43:50 > 0:43:55Do you want to go over and stroke the dog and see if he's all right?
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- Feel OK doing that?- Yeah. - 'Very brave lads.'
0:43:58 > 0:44:02'Jack R looks like he's beginning to overcome his big dog fear already.'
0:44:02 > 0:44:05What's wrong with, Ollie? Why is he here at the vets?
0:44:05 > 0:44:09Ollie, unfortunately has got very narrow nostrils,
0:44:09 > 0:44:11so when he breathes through his nose
0:44:11 > 0:44:13he can't get very much air into his lungs.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15He's a big dog, so he needs a lot of air.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18So he's going to have surgery where we'll take the laser
0:44:18 > 0:44:21and just make his nostrils a little bit wider
0:44:21 > 0:44:22so he can get more air into his lungs.
0:44:22 > 0:44:27This kind of delicate surgery requires special protection.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30When we are doing an operation we want there has to be as little
0:44:30 > 0:44:35germs and the area has to be as nice and clean and sterile as possible.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38- That all right?- 'What do you reckon to your marvellous masks boys?'
0:44:38 > 0:44:40BOTH: Feels really weird.
0:44:40 > 0:44:44'It may feel really weird, but you're really looking the part.'
0:44:44 > 0:44:46'Steady hands are needed later as our lads
0:44:46 > 0:44:49'turn into full-on vet assistants.'
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Right, smoke, extractor.
0:44:51 > 0:44:56First, Dick drops into an animal sanctuary in the south of England.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59Here at Raystede they help to prevent cruelty to animals
0:44:59 > 0:45:01and protect them from unnecessary harm.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04The animals that come here are either found a new home
0:45:04 > 0:45:07or they stay at Raystede for the rest of their days.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09It certainly is a worthy cause.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Today I've found them two extra helpers who will hopefully
0:45:12 > 0:45:14prove themselves worthy of working here.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17They'll probably give me cause for concern. Let's meet them.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23'This is Olivia and Anna who both find animals...'
0:45:23 > 0:45:24BOTH: Boring!
0:45:26 > 0:45:29'Olivia likes her grumpy pet pooch,
0:45:29 > 0:45:31'but beaky birds make her nervous.'
0:45:31 > 0:45:34If they don't like you they can dig their claws in and then they
0:45:34 > 0:45:38can start pecking on your head and then they can fly up and just poop.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43'Anna loves her pet gerbil, but thinks British wildlife
0:45:43 > 0:45:45'just doesn't try hard enough.'
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Badgers and deer and insects and stuff you see them
0:45:48 > 0:45:51in the forest, but, like, they never do anything.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54They just sit there and eat and sleep and that's it.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58- Poop.- Yes, don't forget to poop.
0:45:58 > 0:45:59'OK.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02'Let's see if we can cook up a cracking day
0:46:02 > 0:46:04'at a cool animal sanctuary in East Sussex.'
0:46:04 > 0:46:08Here come the girls. Anna, Olivia, good to see you both.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11- Looking forward to working with British wildlife?- BOTH: No.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14- So you still think it's boring? - BOTH: Yes.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17We are here to change that today on Dick N Dom Go Wild. Here you go.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Put these on and let's get to work.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25'This place takes in an amazing 1500 unwanted animals every year.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27'They get all sorts
0:46:27 > 0:46:31'from your usual cats and dogs to a few you wouldn't expect.
0:46:31 > 0:46:32'Time to hook up with Sarah
0:46:32 > 0:46:35'and unfortunately for bird disliker, Olivia,
0:46:35 > 0:46:38- 'our first case is...' - A bird.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Good, good. It is a bird.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42- You feeling all right about that?- No.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Who is this bird?
0:46:44 > 0:46:47This bird is a jackdaw that's been hand reared.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49He's quite OK around people.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Let's meet the bird in question.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56'Esme, the young jackdaw arrived here three weeks ago
0:46:56 > 0:47:00'after she and her sister fell down a chimney mum had nested in.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04'Sadly, her sister died, but Esme escaped with an injured leg.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07'She is still very weak and unable to fly properly.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10'We are going to try and build her strength back up.'
0:47:10 > 0:47:13- Can we entice Esme out maybe? - She might come out.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Historically with magpies, jackdaws and that, they love shiny things,
0:47:16 > 0:47:19gold and glittery things.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25Do they like vanity mirrors?
0:47:25 > 0:47:28'It's not mine, honest. I borrowed this little mirror from Dom.'
0:47:28 > 0:47:30She's thinking about it.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33'Olivia's still very wary of winged things.'
0:47:33 > 0:47:37- You really don't like it, do you? - I really don't like it, no.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40'So Anna volunteers to attract Esme closer with mine,
0:47:40 > 0:47:42'I mean, Dom's mirror.'
0:47:42 > 0:47:45Look. Who's that in that mirror? Yes, who's that?
0:47:45 > 0:47:48'Esme needs to be fighting fit
0:47:48 > 0:47:50'if she's to have a chance of surviving in the wild.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52'Get flapping, Esme.'
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Look, bit of exercise, you see.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58Are you flying? She is flying.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Excuse me, everybody, she is flying.
0:48:00 > 0:48:05'Not exactly flying free but good progress all the same,
0:48:05 > 0:48:07'that continues on my shoulder.'
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Ah ha my hearties.
0:48:13 > 0:48:14I've got my bird up on my shoulder.
0:48:14 > 0:48:20'And later, breakfast time for Esme and it gets really messy.'
0:48:20 > 0:48:23She's left you a little present.
0:48:24 > 0:48:29Jack and Jack are helping out at a veterinary hospital in Dunfermline.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Ollie the bull mastiff is having problems breathing and needs an op.
0:48:32 > 0:48:38Our team are going to be assisting Ken the vet on this one.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Look closely, you see his nostrils are really tight,
0:48:41 > 0:48:44so he's real trouble breathing. Not uncommon in these big guys.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47We'll just take this corner bit off to let more air in.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49You'll see after, the difference there'll be.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52He'll be able to breathe in and out much easier.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54These protective goggles are needed
0:48:54 > 0:48:57because the team will be using a high-tech laser for this job.
0:48:57 > 0:49:02The good thing about the laser is that it not only controls
0:49:02 > 0:49:05the bleeding but it also numbs the nerve endings, so it's less painful.
0:49:05 > 0:49:10First Ollie gets a quick injection to send him off to sleep.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12SNORING
0:49:12 > 0:49:14He's asleep all right.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18The laser is a powerful beam of light that creates intense heat
0:49:18 > 0:49:20and cuts like a knife.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22When Ken starts work, there'll be a lot of smoke.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24That's when the boys can help.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26First of all I just mark it a little bit,
0:49:26 > 0:49:29so you see the light tells you where the laser will cut.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Right, smoke ,extractor.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36The laser makes a clean, neat cut. There are no messy bits.
0:49:36 > 0:49:40If you didn't have the smoke extractor it would be
0:49:40 > 0:49:43awfully smelly and you'd be struggling to see what was going on.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46That's it. Get all the smoke.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50He's got a keen eye and a steady hand has this vet assistant.
0:49:50 > 0:49:51Almost there.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53'That's one nostril widened.'
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Better off without that.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57'Now Jack R takes over the smoke sucking duties.'
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Wee bit closer.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03- Looks like we have another natural here.- Perfect.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06That's the bit he can do without.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09Nostril number two sorted.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11Right guys, you can see the difference now.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14If you remember what his nostrils looked like first time
0:50:14 > 0:50:17and what they look like now
0:50:17 > 0:50:21they're much, much wider. He should breathe much easier now, guys.
0:50:21 > 0:50:25That's incredible vet work lads. Good luck in your recovery, Ollie.
0:50:25 > 0:50:29This is the only dog I've ever properly liked
0:50:29 > 0:50:32so it's actually improved my bond with dogs.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37And later, the two Jacks surgery continues with
0:50:37 > 0:50:39a sensitive op for Sky the rabbit.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42Rabbits are very delicate, so we have to be very careful.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Back in East Sussex, Olivia and Anna are working with injured bird, Esme.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49'Feeding time for the young jackdaw
0:50:49 > 0:50:52'who's hitched a lift to the breakfast table.'
0:50:52 > 0:50:56The problem is now I think you'll have to feed the bird upon myself.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59I can't move and it won't move.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02ESME SQUAWKS
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Yes, I know. Ow.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05- That's naughty.- Naughty Esme.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09What a lovely day out.
0:51:09 > 0:51:10'But before tuck is served up,
0:51:10 > 0:51:14'Esme decides to decorate my shirt with yesterday's supper.'
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Are you joking? Are you kidding me?
0:51:17 > 0:51:20- Is it really expensive? - This is my favourite shirt
0:51:20 > 0:51:22and I hope it's not done it.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24She's left you a little present.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27Thanks, Esme. That's very kind.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30'Esme needs to scoff these meal worms to get her strength up.
0:51:30 > 0:51:34'Definitely over to Olivia and Anna for this one.'
0:51:34 > 0:51:39Whatever you do girls and Esme do not let them go down my neck.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42Esme seems to be having a great time.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45Yes(!) I'm sure she is.
0:51:45 > 0:51:49I'm having a lovely day out.
0:51:49 > 0:51:50SCREAMING
0:51:50 > 0:51:55'It looks Esme is giving the girls the cold shoulder.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58'Let's see if I can get one down her neck.'
0:51:58 > 0:52:01What about this food. Have your lunch. There you are.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03In it goes. In it goes.
0:52:03 > 0:52:04ESME SQUAWKS
0:52:04 > 0:52:08There it goes. Whoo!
0:52:08 > 0:52:10'Down in one. Lovely.'
0:52:10 > 0:52:12How long has she to stay in hospital?
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Probably for another week or two.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17We need to make sure she's 100% with her feeding.
0:52:17 > 0:52:22Then we need to make sure she's waterproof and weatherproof.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25We need to work on her plumage a bit at the moment.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27I'll leave you girls to that, because I've an appointment
0:52:27 > 0:52:31with the dry cleaners and Esme's getting the bill.
0:52:31 > 0:52:37'The next stage of Esme's recovery is a soothing spray down.'
0:52:37 > 0:52:39How does this help Esme?
0:52:39 > 0:52:44It encourages her to sort her own plumage out. When she's wet
0:52:44 > 0:52:46she'll go through her feathers, get them smooth and clean
0:52:46 > 0:52:49and she'll gradually improve her feathers.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53Regular preening will get natural oils from Esme's body
0:52:53 > 0:52:55onto her feathers, making them waterproof.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57She's actually quite enjoying that now.
0:52:57 > 0:53:02She's loving it more like and Olivia seems happy to get closer.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05The girls' work means the jackdaw should fly free again within weeks.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12And later our two take on the tough task of terrapins.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14That does reek!
0:53:17 > 0:53:21But first Dick faces frightening fish
0:53:21 > 0:53:25and you join us at a critical moment.
0:53:26 > 0:53:31Dom the Dominator is about to take on reigning chomp-ion,
0:53:31 > 0:53:32Dick the Lips...
0:53:34 > 0:53:37'In the corn on the cob noshing national grand final.'
0:53:37 > 0:53:40Three years in a row you've beaten me, but not today.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43- Really? You been practising?- Yeah.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45- Ready.- Yeah, ready.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52'And they're off.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55'It's a slow steady start from Dick The Lips.
0:53:55 > 0:53:56'Look at the Dominator go.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04'We have a winner!'
0:54:05 > 0:54:07And that my friend is how to win.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10As the loser you now have to feed my entire coaching team.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Coaching team?
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Yep, my coaching team of flesh-eating fish.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20No, no. They're not penguins. These are piranhas.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Fresh water fish, famous for having sharp pointy teeth
0:54:22 > 0:54:25and eating things. Great.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28- So we have got to feed them? - Yeah, well, you have. Be exciting.
0:54:28 > 0:54:32- But they eat people.- No, no. Just in the movies and stuff.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35- So why don't you feed them? - You're a faster swimmer.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38- I'm not going in there to feed them, am I?- Only if you're daft.
0:54:38 > 0:54:42Fish man, bring on the fishy treats!
0:54:45 > 0:54:46Fish!
0:54:50 > 0:54:54Perfect. My piranhas are going to love these delicious trout.
0:54:54 > 0:54:56'Thank you, fish man.'
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Your job is perfectly civil.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01All you have to do is feed my hungry little friends down here
0:55:01 > 0:55:03without losing an eye, a finger or indeed a leg.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05- Ready?- Easy.- Right.
0:55:05 > 0:55:09This species of piranha love snacking on other fish
0:55:09 > 0:55:12from the rivers of South America where they live.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Ohh! Strong, aren't they?
0:55:15 > 0:55:18It's been reported that a large shoal of piranhas could strip
0:55:18 > 0:55:22a cow to the bone in a matter of minutes.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24- Look how fast they are!- Go on!
0:55:24 > 0:55:27It took its tail off.
0:55:27 > 0:55:31Despite what the movies tell us, they're not vicious man-eaters.
0:55:31 > 0:55:35They'll nip, but there hasn't been a single proven report
0:55:35 > 0:55:38of our toothy little friends killing a human.
0:55:38 > 0:55:39Careful, Dick.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44- I enjoyed that.- Good. Fingers?
0:55:44 > 0:55:47- All ten.- Nice one.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50- What shall I do with it now. - Fish man.
0:55:50 > 0:55:55- Fish! Liked it, didn't they? That'll be 15 quid, please.- What?
0:55:55 > 0:56:00We've changed our mind. You can have it back. See ya!
0:56:06 > 0:56:08In East Sussex, Olivia and Anna
0:56:08 > 0:56:11are working behind the scenes at an animal rescue centre.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14Next up, mad terrapins from America.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17They were brought here after being found dumped in a nearby pond.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22A lot of people, when they buy them,
0:56:22 > 0:56:24they're the size of a 50p, so look really sweet.
0:56:24 > 0:56:29But they outgrow their tanks quickly and then people just think well,
0:56:29 > 0:56:31"I'm bored, I'm fed up, don't want to buy a new tank.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33I want rid of them."
0:56:33 > 0:56:36- What do you need the girls to do? - We've a big turtle tub
0:56:36 > 0:56:40that needs cleaning out that's been sat there with dirty water in
0:56:40 > 0:56:42and then we will get the terrapins moved.
0:56:44 > 0:56:45BOTH: Eugh!
0:56:46 > 0:56:50It's proper green, isn't it? It's like slime.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Dirty terrapin pop pops.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55It does reek!
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Come on, girls, put your back into it.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01- I thought there were four buckets.- Four buckets?
0:57:01 > 0:57:03No, they only had three.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05Nearly there, girls.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09No, no, Olivia, Olivia.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13No, no, please, I insist.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18And now I'm ready for a cup of tea.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23After filling the pond with nice, fresh water,
0:57:23 > 0:57:26the girls add some of the terrapins favourite nosh.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Just put it all in that area.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Lettuce, meal worms and cuttlefish, yummy.
0:57:30 > 0:57:35Time to get our amphibious friends into their new home.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38Want one each? There you go.
0:57:38 > 0:57:42- OK? Ready to put them in the pool? - Yes.- Lovely.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46Just gently, straight in and let them swim off.
0:57:46 > 0:57:50Look! He's loving it.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53These young terrapins are settling in just fine.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55He's going to go.
0:57:55 > 0:57:59And it won't be long before they've moved into the bigger pond
0:57:59 > 0:58:01with the larger adults.
0:58:01 > 0:58:05Later our girls get to the bottom of DJ the goats stinky bum.
0:58:07 > 0:58:08At the Dunfermline vets,
0:58:08 > 0:58:13the two Jacks have another pet patient in need of an operation.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15'Next up is Sky the rabbit.'
0:58:15 > 0:58:19And so we arrive at patient number two.
0:58:19 > 0:58:20Who's this and what is it?
0:58:20 > 0:58:24This is Sky and she's a German lop-eared rabbit.
0:58:24 > 0:58:25Why is the rabbit here?
0:58:25 > 0:58:28The rabbit's here to get neutered which means she's going
0:58:28 > 0:58:32to have a little operation to make sure she doesn't have more babies.
0:58:32 > 0:58:36Rabbits can have up to four litters every year.
0:58:36 > 0:58:39Each litter can contain up to eight baby bunnies.
0:58:39 > 0:58:41Sky's op will make sure
0:58:41 > 0:58:43she doesn't have any unwanted babies in the future.
0:58:43 > 0:58:47How long does it take to get the operation done?
0:58:47 > 0:58:50Not long. Usually about 20 minutes. It doesn't take too long to do.
0:58:50 > 0:58:54Time to get kitted up again, chaps.
0:58:55 > 0:58:59Rabbits are very delicate. You have to be very careful.
0:58:59 > 0:59:03What was it like the first time you tried it?
0:59:03 > 0:59:06Scary. It takes a while for you to get used to it.
0:59:06 > 0:59:10- Do you think you could ever be a vet, Jack?- Not at all.
0:59:10 > 0:59:14- Why not?- It's quite gory.
0:59:14 > 0:59:17I suppose you're right. It's sometimes a bit bloody and gory.
0:59:17 > 0:59:20But to me it's the best job in the world
0:59:20 > 0:59:24because you get to make sick animals better
0:59:24 > 0:59:27and you get to try and help stop them getting ill
0:59:27 > 0:59:30and you get to make sure they stay nice and healthy.
0:59:33 > 0:59:37Angela works quickly to complete the simple procedure on rabbit, Sky.
0:59:37 > 0:59:41Jack D said he wouldn't be able to stomach surgery at a vets,
0:59:41 > 0:59:44but neither boy is shying away from this experience.
0:59:44 > 0:59:49How long will it take for the rabbit to get better?
0:59:49 > 0:59:53She should be hopping about and her normal happy self in a day or so.
0:59:53 > 0:59:57They tend to get better and feel fine very quickly.
0:59:57 > 1:00:01Great news and after a few final stitches, Sky is sorted
1:00:01 > 1:00:03and will be back, hopping around in hours.
1:00:03 > 1:00:06And later the Jacks unbox Pepsi the cat
1:00:06 > 1:00:08and listen out for any health issues.
1:00:08 > 1:00:11If you put these in your ears.
1:00:11 > 1:00:13Can you hear that?
1:00:15 > 1:00:18But first, how's about this then?
1:00:18 > 1:00:21Come on, Dom you've had your fun.
1:00:21 > 1:00:26Will you please get out of that owl suit. Too big for you, anyway.
1:00:26 > 1:00:29Look at your silly little legs sticking out the bottom.
1:00:29 > 1:00:33The European Eagle Owl's legs are far from silly.
1:00:33 > 1:00:34They can crush bone like that.
1:00:34 > 1:00:38They can also pick up a small fox or a young deer.
1:00:38 > 1:00:41When did you get out of that suit and who's this?
1:00:41 > 1:00:43I've never been in a suit. This is a real owl.
1:00:43 > 1:00:46- Eyes are good.- They're big 'uns!
1:00:46 > 1:00:48They're like night-vision goggles.
1:00:48 > 1:00:51They can fly through a forest in pitch black of night
1:00:51 > 1:00:54and pick up one of them preys whilst in flight.
1:00:54 > 1:00:55Wowsers! Big, aren't they?
1:00:55 > 1:00:59European Eagle Owls are thought to be one of the biggest on the planet.
1:00:59 > 1:01:03That's why you are dressed as one, to make yourself look bigger.
1:01:03 > 1:01:06Yes, that's exactly why I dressed up as one.
1:01:06 > 1:01:07In fact I'm not actually here.
1:01:07 > 1:01:10I'm actually inside this very realistic looking owl costume
1:01:10 > 1:01:12twittering away just to annoy you.
1:01:12 > 1:01:14He's a good lad.
1:01:19 > 1:01:23Olivia and Anna who weren't that into animals, are edging towards
1:01:23 > 1:01:26a big turnaround at the rescue centre in East Sussex.
1:01:26 > 1:01:29Now the girls need to help Hannah with DJ the goat.
1:01:29 > 1:01:31DJ arrived here two years ago.
1:01:31 > 1:01:34He kept escaping from his previous home. He's settled here now,
1:01:34 > 1:01:39- but he does have an unusual problem. - He wees backwards.- Nice(!)
1:01:39 > 1:01:42His backward weeing makes his bottom all mucky
1:01:42 > 1:01:44and his skin gets sore
1:01:44 > 1:01:47so the girls need to give him a soapy scrub.
1:01:47 > 1:01:50After putting on protection they head off to catch DJ.
1:01:50 > 1:01:53- Can you see them over there, all coming towards us?- Why?
1:01:53 > 1:01:56They've seen us and want to come and say, "Hello."
1:01:56 > 1:02:00That might make the job easier. But how do you safely grab a goat?
1:02:00 > 1:02:03You put that round his neck like a dog collar.
1:02:03 > 1:02:07And then you would lead him like you would lead a dog.
1:02:07 > 1:02:10Sounds simple enough.
1:02:10 > 1:02:14'The girls get within touching distance of DJ...'
1:02:14 > 1:02:16Just do it! Do it!
1:02:16 > 1:02:18I can't do this.
1:02:18 > 1:02:22- '..but are a little unsure about handling him.'- Put your hand out.
1:02:22 > 1:02:25- Put your hand out. - No, cos it'll eat my hand.
1:02:27 > 1:02:30With support from Hannah, the team get sorted.
1:02:30 > 1:02:32You've got him.
1:02:32 > 1:02:34Come on, goaty-woaty.
1:02:37 > 1:02:40OK, girls, we're all ready to wash him now.
1:02:40 > 1:02:42We need to put some gloves on.
1:02:43 > 1:02:47There's your buckets and sponges. Come and start washing.
1:02:47 > 1:02:50This lucky goat's going to get the full salon treatment today.
1:02:50 > 1:02:52Why don't you get a bit of the shampoo?
1:02:52 > 1:02:55Squeeze a little bit onto your sponge.
1:02:55 > 1:02:58Rub down the back of his legs, make him nice and clean.
1:02:58 > 1:03:02- Brilliant. Well done. - Is it special shampoo or normal.
1:03:02 > 1:03:03It's a special shampoo for animals.
1:03:03 > 1:03:05It's nice and natural, smells of lavender
1:03:05 > 1:03:07and it keeps the flies away.
1:03:07 > 1:03:10Now we need to wash all the shampoo off. That's it.
1:03:10 > 1:03:13Is he squeaky clean?
1:03:13 > 1:03:15How often do you have to wash him?
1:03:15 > 1:03:17We wash him around his back end about once a week,
1:03:17 > 1:03:20so he doesn't get too sore, but he stays nice and clean.
1:03:20 > 1:03:25And because he's been well behaved the girls give DJ a tasty treat.
1:03:25 > 1:03:27Just hold your hand out and feed him some of that.
1:03:29 > 1:03:33- He likes that.- Look at that. Olivia is hand feeding a goat.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36She wouldn't go near a small bird this morning. Get in.
1:03:36 > 1:03:40DJ seems eager to get back to playing with his pals in the field.
1:03:42 > 1:03:46- 'A quick wonky wee first, though.' - Just as we cleaned you. Seriously!
1:03:46 > 1:03:48That's why we have to clean him.
1:03:48 > 1:03:50So Anna, Olivia
1:03:50 > 1:03:53when you got here today you thought British wildlife was boring.
1:03:53 > 1:03:56- Do you still think the same? - Slightly.
1:03:56 > 1:03:59- Think it's slightly better. Not as boring?- Yeah.- Good.
1:03:59 > 1:04:00What about you, Olivia?
1:04:00 > 1:04:04Still don't like birds. Still don't like goats.
1:04:04 > 1:04:07- But I like terrapins. - Oh, you like terrapins.
1:04:07 > 1:04:11- OK then, so the mission has been kind of completed.- Yeah.
1:04:11 > 1:04:13Right, I'm happy. Thank you ladies.
1:04:18 > 1:04:21The two Jacks are striding through their busy day
1:04:21 > 1:04:23at a Dunfermline vet hospital.
1:04:23 > 1:04:26But it never stops here and now another patient needs their help.
1:04:28 > 1:04:30- Good afternoon, sir. - Good afternoon.
1:04:30 > 1:04:32Who have we got here then?
1:04:32 > 1:04:33We've got Pepsi Reid.
1:04:33 > 1:04:37- Just take a seat. - Thank you very much.
1:04:38 > 1:04:42Pepsi's come in for his yearly jab to stop him getting poorly.
1:04:42 > 1:04:43Hi, I'm Jenny.
1:04:43 > 1:04:47- What have you got for me today, then.- We've got Pepsi the cat here.
1:04:47 > 1:04:50- And what's Pepsi in for today? - A vaccination.- Excellent.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52Right, Pepsi...
1:04:52 > 1:04:54..come on then.
1:04:54 > 1:04:58I'm sure there's a cat in there, somewhere.
1:04:58 > 1:04:59Taa-daa!
1:04:59 > 1:05:02Before Pepsi gets his jab the boys need to give him
1:05:02 > 1:05:06a good once over to make sure he's healthy.
1:05:06 > 1:05:07If you put these in your ears.
1:05:07 > 1:05:10First the guys make sure he has a healthy heartbeat.
1:05:10 > 1:05:12- Can you hear that?- Yeah.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15Jack R has a good listen and gets a second opinion from his pal.
1:05:18 > 1:05:20How do you know the heart's okay.
1:05:20 > 1:05:24You've got the normal heart sound - the lub-dub that you hear.
1:05:24 > 1:05:27If there's a heart murmur there's usually an extra sound there too.
1:05:27 > 1:05:29Sometimes a little squeak.
1:05:29 > 1:05:31Pepsi is sounding fine. It's time for the jab.
1:05:31 > 1:05:35Does the cat have to have it every year.
1:05:35 > 1:05:37Yes. The immunity lasts about a year,
1:05:37 > 1:05:39so we give them an annual vaccination.
1:05:39 > 1:05:40PEPSI MIAOWS
1:05:40 > 1:05:43Here's Pepsi. We gave him his injections and checked him over
1:05:43 > 1:05:45and he's perfectly well.
1:05:45 > 1:05:47You can take him home now.
1:05:47 > 1:05:51Thank you very much. Thanks for your help now. Thank you.
1:05:51 > 1:05:53BOTH: Bye, Pepsi.
1:05:53 > 1:05:56Now one final job for our two able vet assistants
1:05:56 > 1:05:57and it's a happy reunion.
1:05:57 > 1:06:01'Ollie is up and running again after his nostril operation.'
1:06:01 > 1:06:03You must be the owners Nick and Louise.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06How you doing, all right?
1:06:06 > 1:06:09Ollie was very happy obviously when he came in and even happier now.
1:06:09 > 1:06:12Have you seen the size of his nostrils?
1:06:12 > 1:06:15- Look at you.- But would you believe
1:06:15 > 1:06:17this operation was aided by these two guys, Jack and Jack.
1:06:17 > 1:06:19Thank you very much, guys.
1:06:19 > 1:06:22He's all set to go now. Thank you very much.
1:06:22 > 1:06:23See you later.
1:06:23 > 1:06:25- Bye.- Bye.
1:06:25 > 1:06:28Look at you guys, fully qualified vets.
1:06:28 > 1:06:30I don't believe it! What a difference.
1:06:30 > 1:06:33Considering you two Jacks arrived here with nothing more
1:06:33 > 1:06:37than a phobia of dogs and a couple of flop eared rabbits,
1:06:37 > 1:06:39you have done a remarkable job today.
1:06:39 > 1:06:43You have now scooped out a bit of a rabbit
1:06:43 > 1:06:47and you cut out a bit of a dog and you have also given a jab to a cat.
1:06:47 > 1:06:49Not bad for a day's work in the vet's surgery, is it?
1:06:49 > 1:06:51What was your favourite bit?
1:06:51 > 1:06:54- My favourite part was definitely lasers.- Lasers.
1:06:54 > 1:06:57- What about you, Jack?- Lasers. - Listen, you've been great
1:06:57 > 1:07:00and I hope you enjoyed Dick N Dom Go Wild.
1:07:03 > 1:07:07Now then, you know this fish you gave me back you didn't pay for?
1:07:07 > 1:07:10- BOTH: Yeah.- Well there seems to be something missing, you know,
1:07:10 > 1:07:14- like his body and that. - Right, yeah. Erm...
1:07:14 > 1:07:16The piranhas have got it.
1:07:16 > 1:07:18Right you are.
1:07:18 > 1:07:20- Bye.- Eh?
1:07:20 > 1:07:22SPLASHING
1:07:22 > 1:07:24- I wouldn't do that. Ooh!- Ooh!
1:07:24 > 1:07:27Ayeee...Oh, he's going to... They're going to have him.
