0:00:03 > 0:00:07Pets, wildlife and all sorts of other creatures are in trouble.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12The nation's vets and animal carers need assistance.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13And now, thanks to you lot...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15BOTH: They've got it.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20When we yelled help, you didn't let us down.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25And we've built a network of volunteered Junior Vets.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27On call and standing by.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Ready to jump in.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31And fix up ill and injured animals.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Whatever they are...
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Wherever they are.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Coming up today - a big dog with a wonky walk.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57A seal needs saving.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And Lauren wants help with her cat... Whoa! She's huge.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Yes, yes, Mrs Dawson. Just bring Misty in
0:01:05 > 0:01:09and we'll get her fixed right up. OK, OK, bye-bye, bye.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- PHONE RINGS - Hello? Oh Mr Johnson, yep, yep.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Just take the two tablets and that'll be fine. Yeah, he loves it.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Put it in his doggy treats, OK? Bye.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- PHONE RINGS - Hello, yep?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18- PHONE RINGS - Can you please hold?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19I've got another call coming in.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Hello? Yep, no, I told you two tablets for...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- PHONE RINGS - Yeah, for Toby, yeah.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25OK. OK, Misty? OK? Toby?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Misty? Toby? Misty? Ahh!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Junior Vets, I need your 'elp!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34BOTH: Junior Vets standing by!
0:01:34 > 0:01:39I love animals, but I don't have any pets and I can't wait to help 'em.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43I like animals, but they don't seem to like me very much.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I have two fish so they don't bite.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Ah, good timing.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I'll tell you what, today is going to be a busy day.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51There's a lot of sick animals and a lot of mashed-up pets.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Are you up for the task? - TOGETHER: Yeah!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Are you sure?- TOGETHER: Yeah. - Let's go help some animals.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Greenside Vets might be in a small village in the Scottish Borders
0:02:02 > 0:02:04but it's like vetting from the future here.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05And Red, the collie,
0:02:05 > 0:02:06is hopefully going to get
0:02:06 > 0:02:08some cutting-edge treatment today
0:02:08 > 0:02:10that could help her with her hip-joint problems.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Yeah, she's quite anxious so we'll just be very gentle.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Good girl. Well done.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Poor Red, she is nervous. What's happening with those hips, Andy?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25It's not a nice round structure as it is here.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Looking at all the X-rays and I'm like, "That's not normal."
0:02:32 > 0:02:36The hip joint, it isn't as strong and as stable
0:02:36 > 0:02:39and that causes instability.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Yep, Red's hips haven't grown properly
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and that's caused a painful joint problem called arthritis. Poor girl.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49This will be causing her discomfort and she's a young dog.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51She's five years old.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I just felt that if I didn't help Red she would just suffer more.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01So this is a progressive condition, so what we're seeing today, if left,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03would be far worse in years to come.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And it would potentially shorten her life.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10It was just like, "Whoa! That's really sad for a dog that young."
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Oh, no, this doesn't sound good for Red.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Andy, what can we do?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19So this is a very new technique in this country where we use
0:03:19 > 0:03:22the animal's own cells to treat the problem.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So stem cells will go into the joint
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and they will reduce inflammation and pain.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Whoa! Red's own cells could fix her?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33How cool is that?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36It was pretty high-tech, you know.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Yep, told you.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So Red needs to be unconscious for the surgery
0:03:40 > 0:03:44to remove her special healing cells. Get a grip, Sean!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47And just keep pressure on that vein until I get the needle in
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and I'll tell you when to release it, OK?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51How quickly will she, like, fall asleep?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- She's already asleep. - Is she already?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Phew! So Red's not going to feel a thing.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Sick seals at the seaside in Scarborough need saving.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Calling all Junior Vets!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24BOTH: Junior Vets standing by.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Puppy-loving Junior Vet ready for duty.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Junior Vet here, ready to work with sick animals.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Mia, they're not actually going to be sick.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I really hope not.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39So, Mia, sick animals are an issue?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40I have a phobia of sick.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You don't like sick?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Just human sick.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Ah, so you're OK with shark sick? - Yep.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- You'd be fine with a prawn that puked?- Absolutely.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Oh, right, OK. Now, Anna, have you got any phobias at all?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- I'm scared of swans. - Scared of swans?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I think you're right, them long necks, you just can't trust them.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Just so I know, you are all right helping sea creatures?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03- Yeah.- Excellent! Let's do it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Scarborough Sea Life Sanctuary -
0:05:07 > 0:05:13full of cool aquatics from around the world including sharks. Aggh!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It's also a hospital for local sea life
0:05:19 > 0:05:22that's got itself into a bit of bother.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Junior Vets, meet your first patient, Jane the grey seal.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28All hands on deck!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Hi, guys.- BOTH: Hi. - Nice to meet you.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- So do you want to have a look at your little seal?- Ah!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37She is only four to five months old.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42And, unfortunately, when she's been trying to find and learn how
0:05:42 > 0:05:47to catch her food, she's got tangled up in some fishing wire.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49And the fishing wire's gone round her neck.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52She looks like she's in a bit of pain now.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I was really excited because I love seals. They're really cute.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58She looks a bit grumpy, so the way she going to tell me
0:05:58 > 0:06:03that she's grumpy is by snarling, trying to bite and move around, OK?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05No wonder Jane's in a bad mood.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06She's had a horrible time
0:06:06 > 0:06:09and seals would much rather be in the water than out of it.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11In fact, some of them can hold their breath
0:06:11 > 0:06:14for nearly two hours and they even sleep under water.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18So I need you to do something, you need to be straight on it
0:06:18 > 0:06:20cos we need to try and do this as quickly as we can.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Vets, are we ready? Let's do it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Fishing wire has cut poor Jane's neck and it needs sorting out
0:06:28 > 0:06:30before it makes her really ill.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35First she needs a proper, all-over vet check. Anna?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36How does Jane's heart sound?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's kind of, like, different sounds, beats of waves.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43So you can hear the heartbeat? That's really good.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It should be like lub-dub, lub-dub.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51Phew! A nice healthy heart but Jane might still have a high temperature,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53and that could mean an infection.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Let's get to the BOTTOM of this, Anna!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59You can see that small hole there, just put that into there
0:06:59 > 0:07:01and then press the button once you're in.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04So, Anna, how do you feel about taking the temperature
0:07:04 > 0:07:05from a seal's bum?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11It wasn't pleasant but it needed to be done, so...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's 37.2.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15That's a really good temperature.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Well, I'm impressed and it's a great start,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21but Jane's wound is still a worry.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Cor! You lot don't half set us some tough animally questions, you know.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And we love the challenge.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Well, I do anyway.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Well, so do I!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37The amazing animal facts that I would like you to find out
0:07:37 > 0:07:39if they are true or not are -
0:07:39 > 0:07:41are all polar bears left-handed,
0:07:41 > 0:07:46and do most elephants weigh less than a blue whale's tongue?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Whoa! I hope those things are true.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53We'll have a dig around and let you know in a bit, Samantha.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Ah, Red the collie's even cuter now she's all sleepy
0:08:01 > 0:08:04but Junior Vets Luke and Sean are looking sharp,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06ready for this cutting-edge vet work.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Red has a painful hip problem and this treatment could change her life.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Sean, is dog shaving as easy as you're making it look?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's actually really hard to shave a dog.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23Well, I think you did well, mate, and Luke that's a lot of cleaning.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- It's been like a good hour just cleaning...- An hour!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Like an hour of just cleaning it, just cleaning Red, just like...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Now they need to remove this fatty tissue
0:08:32 > 0:08:33so it can be sent to the lab and treated
0:08:33 > 0:08:38so it has special healing powers and can be used to repair Red's hips.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43What's happening, vet Andy? Just tell us how it is.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Right, I'm going to make a small incision through the skin,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49there will be a wee bit of blood, OK?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Ergh! Less of the blood, thank you, Andy!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Seeing inside the dog and I'm like,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57"Ah, so that's what inside a dog looks like."
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Is that the fat?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Yes, that's the fat, OK.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- It looked really weird. - He was just stretching it!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Looked kind of small but...
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Yeah, it's small but it could save her life.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15It looked like a wee tiny mini brain but it was just really disgusting.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It looked like gunge.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Wow, Junior Vets, you're getting really stuck in now!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23But what's that you're using to seal up Red's wound?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Surely it can't be glue?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26So this is like superglue.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29We're running it down the length of the wound.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Oh, OK, OK, it is glue.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Yep, and that's one special delivery of Junior Vet doggy fat
0:09:34 > 0:09:36ready to be sent off to the lab.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39That's it, so that's our fat sample.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Hopefully, the healing cells in it
0:09:41 > 0:09:43will have Red's hips sorted within months.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49And look at this, a few hours later Red is ready for home.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Sean, make sure owner Julia knows the score.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54All right, she's been fed and things so she'll be fine
0:09:54 > 0:09:56and she was very brave.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59OK, she looks in good shape. Thanks very much.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Good luck, Red.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Junior Vets Anna and Mia have a big job on with grey seal Jane.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14The poor thing swam into some fishing wire.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16How's her neck, Sarah the vet?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- See there, there's a really deep wound.- Ow!
0:10:19 > 0:10:23So we need to clean that up and make sure that's going to heal properly.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Anna's all over this with iodine solution.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30What exactly does that do, Sarah?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32We're just trying to make the wound as clean as possible.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Ah, so that's goodbye to any nasty germs.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I was really glad that Anna did it because if she didn't do it,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44it could've got infected and, yeah, she did a really good job.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48It looks really painful and she's been really, really good.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50How long does it take to heal it up?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It might take a couple of weeks to heal cos it's quite a deep wound.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Jane's badly dehydrated - the team need to get fluids down her, fast.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04There you go, get it all in, excellent.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11This might not look like loving vet care but trust me, people, it is.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13This liquid could save Jane's life.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Will she be released back into the wild?
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Yes, she will, yeah.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19As soon as she's healed and she's feeling all happy again
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and she's eating lots of fish, then she'll go back to the wild
0:11:22 > 0:11:25but she needs to weigh about 35 kilos, so then we know
0:11:25 > 0:11:28we're sending her out with a little bit of a packed lunch in her belly.
0:11:29 > 0:11:36That's a SEAL of approval from a happier, healthier Jane.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37It was scary but exciting
0:11:37 > 0:11:41and I'm glad that we've done everything that we can.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43She'll thank us one day.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Now, earlier, Samantha asked us
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- not one but two tricky animal questions.- Greedy!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Are all polar bears left handed,
0:11:59 > 0:12:04and do most elephants weigh less than a blue whale's tongue?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Polar bear hands? Inel, I've got this one, right?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14No, she said left! So are polar bears right-handed?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15What? No!
0:12:15 > 0:12:20In fact, polar bears use both paws exactly the same so that's not true.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Ah, shame.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25But get this - a blue whale's tongue weighs nearly three tonnes, which is
0:12:25 > 0:12:29around the same as your average-sized female African elephant,
0:12:29 > 0:12:30so that is true.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
0:12:35 > 0:12:39'OK, Junior Vets Luke and Sean - up for meeting your next doggy patient?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43'This is Boris the rottweiler and he's a beauty.'
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Here he is, big boy Boris. You ready for him, boys?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50I saw Boris and just thought he was going to be, like, really mean,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52but he came up and he was like a big teddy bear.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57But big Boris has some serious health problems -
0:12:57 > 0:12:59arthritis in his legs
0:12:59 > 0:13:03and a life-threatening condition in his spine called wobbler disease.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06He keeps on limping.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I just felt really sorry for him, thinking of all the pain
0:13:09 > 0:13:10and discomfort he'd be in.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Didn't you?- Mm-hm. I felt really, really sorry for him.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Boris should be powerful and perfectly balanced.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Rottweilers are natural herding dogs.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Years ago they guided cattle to markets in Germany.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27This is a tough case for Andy because Boris is his dog.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Is that hurting him?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32He's walking like that because it is uncomfortable to walk.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Remember Red?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Earlier, my Junior Vets help take some fatty tissue from her
0:13:38 > 0:13:40and Boris is having the same type of treatment.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46His healing cells are already back from the lab.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48So what's the plan, Andy?
0:13:49 > 0:13:54We're going to inject stem cells into his spine to try
0:13:54 > 0:13:56and get him walking much better on his back legs.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58All right! Look at that!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01He's getting... You're getting the full works, bruv.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- I reckon we should get him sorted straightaway.- I think so.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- Right, let's do it.- OK, you ready? - Sean, led the way.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10No, this way, Sean.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Sean, we want to be going this way, mate. Sean?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16You're going the wrong way, mate. Sean?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Tell him it's this way.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Just doesn't listen to me.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Looks like you've got things under control now, Sean.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26A big dose of anaesthetic and Boris should be straight under.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27A little bit more, OK.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30'Hang on, Boris still looks wide awake.'
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Should we sing to him to make it, like, work faster?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36It might do, depends on your singing?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Oh, please, depends on my singing? Huh!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42# Go to sleep, Boris.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44# Go to sleep
0:14:44 > 0:14:47# I say go to sleep
0:14:47 > 0:14:49# Why ain't you sleeping? #
0:14:49 > 0:14:51'See?! It's working.'
0:14:51 > 0:14:53# And I said, he's going to go to sleep... #
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Inel's singing - whuf! - I was almost deaf because of that.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It's the best thing ever.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03# Slee-eep! #
0:15:05 > 0:15:07See that? Wow.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Usually it takes about half an hour but out for the count, look.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16'Right, now Boris is asleep, he needs stem cell injections into
0:15:16 > 0:15:17'his legs and around his spine,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20'so work fast with those clippers, Luke!'
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Now, this is the futuristic sciencey bit.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Here we've got dry ice, OK? So this is minus 80.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Wow! Precious healing stem cells made in the lab from Boris' fat.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39To be a part of that is amazing, but it's also extremely risky.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Do you think it'll work?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44For his spine, I'm not sure - there's no guarantees.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46And what if it doesn't?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Well, if it doesn't work, then that's not good news for Boris.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Fingers crossed, people.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00That's the Sea Life Sanctuary by the, er, sea.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04And they are the Junior Vets, Mia and Anna.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Hope you're feeling brave, girls, because I've heard Lindsey
0:16:07 > 0:16:09needs your help with...some sharks.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Precious baby sharks that are ready to move into the grown-ups' tank.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Do you know what these are? - Stingrays.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Actually, these are English rays.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Hang on, I thought we were working with sharks?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Also in the shark family, so technically they're sharks.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Oh, right.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I mean, yeah, I knew that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36As well as the rays, Lindsey's breeding programme is also
0:16:36 > 0:16:39helping these bull-huss sharks.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42We've actually got some now that are big enough
0:16:42 > 0:16:44to come back in with their parents.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48So you guys are going to catch my babies and you're going to
0:16:48 > 0:16:53get in the tank with the sharks and put the babies in the tank for me.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57You OK with that, Junior Vets?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Will they sting us?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Nope, because these ones haven't got a sting to them.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06What will happen if we stand on them?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Cos I really don't want to stand on one.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11The key to it is if you just shuffle your feet like you're doing
0:17:11 > 0:17:14a bit of a dance, they'll actually move out of your way
0:17:14 > 0:17:19because they have a fantastic way of picking up vibrations.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Junior Vets, are you ready to help the precious babies get back
0:17:22 > 0:17:23to their parents?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Remember, nice and easy.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28I don't want to fall in.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31You're OK, you're not going to fall in, we won't let you.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Where are they?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Oh, I think it's swimming into my net, it swam into my net.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46OK, brilliant. Lift her up, then. There we go.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Aww, a tiny-weenie shark baby can rejoin Mum and Dad. Sweet.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55There's one swimming there, Anna. Can you see it?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01There we go, and he's in!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Well done, Junior Vets.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06All the baby bull-huss sharks are sorted.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Now it's the tiny rays' turn for the Junior Vet treatment.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Come back a tiny bit, that's it. Lovely.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It's really exciting and I'm really proud.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Look at your ray you've just caught.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- So now she can go back and see Mummy and Daddy, eh?- Yep.- Awesome.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35If only we had a dog car that could play brilliant videos of you
0:18:35 > 0:18:38and your pets. Hold on, we have. And a song.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47# Doggy, lift your tail up
0:18:47 > 0:18:50# Doggy, lift your tail up
0:18:50 > 0:18:52# I said, doggy, lift your tail up
0:18:52 > 0:18:55# And show us what you got. #
0:18:55 > 0:18:59First up, girl-and-dog duo Eve and Patch.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I've got a question for the Junior Vets On Call team.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05My Jack Russell cross whippet cross Staffy - Patch -
0:19:05 > 0:19:07has an unusual habit.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10How come, when I hold a note like this...
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- # Gehh... # - PATCH BARKS
0:19:16 > 0:19:19How come he sings along with me? Why?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Why does he do this?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I don't think he's singing along, Eve.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I think that's doggie language for, "Please stop."
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Are you sure? I mean, that's a pretty catchy tune, you know.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32# Mguhhh... #
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Please stop, man!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Anyway, I think Lauren's got a problem with a giant cat.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Oh, yeah?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Yes, I do. She's right there.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I don't see no giant cat, man.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Whoa, that is a giant cat!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Look, its head's bigger than her!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51This is Fidget and she's staring at herself in the camera
0:19:51 > 0:19:52at this moment.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58She brings in loads of mice and they all go under the fridge
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and then we have to get the fridge out.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Ah, I don't like the way he's looking at me.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05He's looking at me funny, look. Look at his eyes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'd say at least five times we've had to get the fridge out,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09like, from the wall.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Well, I can't out-stare Fidget but I can answer this one, Johnny.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Go for it.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20You see, in the wild, cats bring their kittens prey, like mice,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22so they can practise their hunting skills.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Pet cats still have an urge to bring mice and birds home too,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27even when they don't have kittens.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30A collar with a bell will help Lauren, it'll warn those
0:20:30 > 0:20:33poor little mice that Fidget is coming.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Good idea, although I would've thought her massive shadow
0:20:36 > 0:20:39and booming footsteps would've done that anyway.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40No, Johnny, it's an illusion.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43You see, Fidget isn't really a big cat she's a...
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Yeah, I knew that.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53I can see lots of big funny fish but where are Junior Vets, Mia and Anna?
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Ah, that's a relief.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I thought they just might be hiding because they're about to
0:20:57 > 0:20:59reunite some baby sharks with their parents.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03And that means getting in the shark tank.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06But the water needs to be exactly the same as their previous home.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Junior Vets, we need you now.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15So just hold it there for one minute.
0:21:15 > 0:21:21And the temperature is about 12.3, so remember those numbers.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24So you can stick your hydrometer in now, all the way in.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27What about the salt levels, Mia?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28It's a bit over 32.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Ready for this? Time to enter the shark tank.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35You all good?
0:21:38 > 0:21:39It's so weird.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Wait for me!
0:21:41 > 0:21:44All right, here goes nothing.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47It's actually quite cold.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51The fish are just bumping into me, I'm like, "What's that?"
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Check this out, the Junior Vets are the only vets in
0:21:54 > 0:21:56the shark-transfer team.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58What an honour!
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Before the babies can leave the Junior Vets' bucket, we have
0:22:01 > 0:22:04to make sure the water is the same as the big tank.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So, Junior Vets, what are you doing now?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I'm going to measure the temperature with this device
0:22:08 > 0:22:11so that it's the same temperature as in here.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I'm doing the salt.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16So that they don't get a shock when they go into this water.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Make sure they're the same. - Oh, I see.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Yeah, just the same.- Great!
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Salt content is bang on, now, what about the water temperature?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28It's just a bit below.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31So last time it was 12.3 and now it's 11.5,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34so it needs to be a bit higher.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38OK, a difference in the temperature could be dangerous.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41This transfer might not be quite as simple as we'd hoped.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Gentle giant Boris the rottweiler is really poorly, so he's in
0:22:53 > 0:22:55surgery with Junior Vets Luke and Sean.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00They're trying to fix his arthritis and a spine condition called
0:23:00 > 0:23:03wobbler disease that makes it hard for him to walk.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09I feel a bit worried because it's very risky.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Boris is vet Andy's own dog.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14We're nervous, so it must be even harder for him.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Kind of nerve-racking doing it to your own dog?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20It is a little bit.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Ten million healing cells made from Boris' own fat are about to
0:23:24 > 0:23:26be injected around his spine.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31We're really hoping it'll work. We've all bonded with big Boris.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33He felt like my dog for a while.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Yeah, it felt like you could just give him a big huge cuddle.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41You saw how weak he was when he was walking
0:23:41 > 0:23:44and if he doesn't get any better and he starts...or he gets to a point
0:23:44 > 0:23:48where he can't stand up, then it won't be fair to keep him going.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51We might have to consider putting him to sleep.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- So it's almost a last resort. - Last resort for Boris.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00This treatment is so new, there's no guarantee it will work.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- That's the last one, Boris. - Here we go, well done, Boris.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09I could probably take you off the gas now, put you on some oxygen.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Boris has been well looked after by my Junior Vets today.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Poor fella. We're thinking of you.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30'Junior Vets Anna and Mia are just about to reunite baby sharks
0:24:30 > 0:24:32'with their parents...'
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It looks like it's trying to jump out.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37'..but if the temperature difference between their old home
0:24:37 > 0:24:40'and their new one is too big, the shock could kill them.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42'Lindsey, what do we do next?'
0:24:44 > 0:24:48What we need to do now is we need to mix the tank water into the buckets.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Yeah, we do that when we put new fish in the tank.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- At home?- Yeah, at home.- Awesome.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56So these two are pros. They've done it all before.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Fish at home are quite small compared to the ones we dealt with.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Oh, yeah, probably goldfish at home.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07So, Anna, you're pretty cool considering you've got
0:25:07 > 0:25:08two sharks in your hand.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Yeah, I quite like sharks.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I don't see why people think they're man-eaters.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Some of them are but they're quite graceful in the waters.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I see, so this could potentially be a new pet for you?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Are you going to go home and be like, "Mum, I want a new shark?"- Yep.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23My mum told me that I wasn't allowed a shark.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28How's that water temperature doing?
0:25:29 > 0:25:34That's at 12.2, so I'm happy with that. If you'd like to gently tip
0:25:34 > 0:25:39your buckets, so they can actually gently swim out on their own.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Welcome to your new home, my little fishy friends.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50And how's this for a thank you?
0:25:50 > 0:25:55A final farewell from our grateful re-homed shark babes.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Go on, you, go and find Mum and Dad.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Talk about Junior Vets in at the deep end today!
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Sean and Luke worked hard with not one but two poorly dogs.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12They did very well today, they maintained their focus,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14it was a long day.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18They were very confident in everything that I asked them to do.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23And Anna and Mia saved a seal and helped sharks move home safely.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I've been doing this job a long time and to see an animal come
0:26:26 > 0:26:29in with such a neck wound like the seal has and those girls just going
0:26:29 > 0:26:33straight in there with no questions asked, absolutely fabulous.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35And I really hope they go forward and be a vet
0:26:35 > 0:26:38because I think they'd be awesome at it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42I mean, to start off with such a sad case with the seal that had
0:26:42 > 0:26:45quite a deep cut in its neck from the netting.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I mean, for you to go straight in, that was impressive.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It was quite hard to deal with at first because it's not nice
0:26:50 > 0:26:53seeing an injured animal but it's nice to know that we helped him.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's really helped me experience
0:26:55 > 0:26:58what sort of things you'd do as a marine biologist
0:26:58 > 0:27:01or a vet, so I think it'll help me a lot for the future.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04And it's also nice to end on a positive experience cos you
0:27:04 > 0:27:07got to release some babies into a much bigger house here, haven't you?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10That was so fun. It was exciting.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Yeah, it was really nice. And they'll have a nice new home.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18And guess who else has a nice new home?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Yep, 11 weeks after getting Junior-vetted,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25a fully-fit Jane the seal was released back into the open ocean.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Thank you, Junior Vets. - This lot are loving your work.
