0:00:03 > 0:00:06Pets, wildlife, and all sorts of other creatures
0:00:06 > 0:00:07are 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 > 0:00:15TOGETHER: ..they've got it!
0:00:17 > 0:00:21When we yelled "Help!" you didn't let us down.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24And we've built a network of volunteer Junior Vets...
0:00:24 > 0:00:26On call and standing by...
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Ready to jump in...
0:00:28 > 0:00:30And fix up ill and injured animals...
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Whatever they are...
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Wherever they are.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Today hungry hippos.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56A mouthy donkey.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59And answer the dog-and-bone, will ya?!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00DOG GRIZZLES
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Woof!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I appear to have found myself at a place
0:01:08 > 0:01:10that is full to the brim of exotic animals.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I am going to need some help.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Where are you Junior Vets?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- BOTH:- Junior Vets standing by!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I once helped bring some kittens into the world.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I once saw my cat do something very gruesome and funny.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26So, a Junior Vet with real-life animal experience?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27This sounds promising!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29So, Sibarn, er, apparently
0:01:29 > 0:01:31you've helped bring some animals into the world.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Yeah, my cat was giving birth,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35she was running basket-to-basket
0:01:35 > 0:01:36and there was blood everywhere.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Oh! Bit gory, bit gory.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41OK, Ameer, give me a bit more of an uplifting story about your cat.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Well, my cat brought a dead pigeon into
0:01:45 > 0:01:48my big brother's room and ripped its heart out
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- and it went all on the floor. - Right. Sounds like a horror story.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53DISTANT HOWL
0:01:53 > 0:01:55OK, well, I think that's the sound of animals needing help.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58We should go to it!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02This is a big busy zoo with some huge animals...
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and some nosy ones!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Oh, zoo vet Matt!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09You look like you've got your hands full, there.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- And on we go. - Don't worry, we are coming to help!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Over here we've got pigmy goats.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19These guys are tough.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21They'll butt you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24But we've got a job to do today and I'm struggling slightly on my own,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26so I'm really chuffed you're here.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28OK. Tough guys, eh?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Yeah, you might have sharp, pointy horns,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33but you've also got overgrown hooves, and they,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35my little pigmy-goat friend, need sorting!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39What do we reckon, guys? Are we up for this?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- BOTH:- Yeah!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44You first, Sibarn.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Meet Kim.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Hmmm... I'm not sure I'd want
0:02:49 > 0:02:51my toenails clipped with these things,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53but without Sibarn's pedicure,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Kim could get a horrible disease called foot rot.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Ewww!
0:02:58 > 0:03:00What would be a difficult case?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Well, when it's got really manky and got maggots.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We were really relieved that there were no maggots or gooey stuff -
0:03:06 > 0:03:08just overgrown skin.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Put it all the way to number two.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Check this out.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Sibarn's been on the job 20 minutes
0:03:13 > 0:03:15and she's already giving Kim a jab
0:03:15 > 0:03:18that will protect her from deadly diseases.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20And now squirt it in.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Genius. Out.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26And we're done. That's goat number one done - you're a star.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You're up next, Ameer.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38We got it into a corner, and that's when we grabbed the horns.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Good work, Ameer.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Don't worry, Mika,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42he knows what he's doing.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44That's it. Perfect. Genius.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Ameer, you did that well better than me.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Oh, you're a natural at this.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Vaccine for Mika, please.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57And our feisty pigmy goats are fixed.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Easy.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Woof!
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Moo!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Have you ever been on holiday
0:04:07 > 0:04:09and had a ride on a donkey?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Yeah? Well, have you ever wondered where these donkeys go
0:04:11 > 0:04:13when they need a hard-earned rest?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Well, they come here, innit?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Donkey sanctuary.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Some of these donkeys need some serious vet-work.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27And not just any vets, they need Junior Vets!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31BOTH: Junior Vets standing by!
0:04:31 > 0:04:35My ambition is to be a vet and own my own farzoo.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I love all animals especially wolves.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Arrrroooohh!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42My ambition is to be a fashion designer
0:04:42 > 0:04:44and work in a animal rescue shelter,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47as well as help Jay in his farzoo.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Boom - here I am with my Junior Vets.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53But, first, Jay, what's a farzoo?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- It's a...- Let me guess. It's like a musical instrument, isn't it?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57No.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Oh, it's like them fancy coats, innit? Farzoo!
0:05:00 > 0:05:01- No.- What is it, then?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's farm and a zoo put together.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Oh, right...! Is that when you get
0:05:05 > 0:05:07double animals like a PIRAFFE or something?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Like, half-giraffe, half pig? No.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- No.- Romi, I hear you like looking after animals, yeah?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Yeah, except for rodents.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- You don't like rodents? - No, they're disgusting.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Not even cute ones, like gerbils? - They're all right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- It's a rodent, though.- I don't know.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Are you all right with donkeys? - Yeah.- Oh, good.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Let's go and mend some donkeys.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29That way!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31SHE LAUGHS
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Roll up, roll up
0:05:35 > 0:05:37at the Sidmouth Sanctuary for important donkey work.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41We're vetting with Vicki today,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45sorting poorly, rescued, ill and old donkeys.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49But first we have to help a superhero donkey called Daisy.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51PHONE RINGS
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Hello.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56You what? That's not a superhero mask?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Daisy has an ulcer in her eye?!
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Ouch.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Poor Daisy, that must be painful.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09We need to examine her eye and then deliver some treatment.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Now, here is the deal,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Daisy goes nowhere without her best friend Mildred.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17These two are always side-by-side.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20So if Daisy came in on her own into the hospital
0:06:20 > 0:06:23she'd get really stressed and probably poorly.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25So she has to have Mildred with her.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Daisy....
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Two weeks ago poor old Daisy couldn't even open her eyes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34OK, now stop, stop...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36If you had a mouth ulcer in your mouth, it hurts, as well,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- but if you had it in your eye... - That's like...paining.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It must be really painful.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Well done, Romi. We've got her in the stocks.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Jay, do you want to take her mask off?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- There's Daisy. - And we will reveal her beauty!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Er, Vicky, there seems to be a big tube in Daisy's eye?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Do you know what this instrument is, here?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Is it to put liquid into her eyes?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yes, exactly. We can just put the drops in here
0:07:02 > 0:07:05and you'll see it come out into her eye.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08What a great idea. Don't worry, Daisy,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I think the Junior Vets will look after you well.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Woof!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15We love wacky questions and we will always do our best to answer them.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21Wacky? What's wrong with that? So, go on, ask away, Kai.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I've heard that ducks' quacks don't echo.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Even if they're in the most echoing atmosphere or environment.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32And I was just wondering if that is true.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Ooh, a curious question!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38A wacky, quacky question!
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Leave it with us, Kai.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Ah, there they are!
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Junior Vets Sibarn and Ameer are on their rounds.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Who's up next, keeper Sam?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53What do you think of these babies?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Oh, wow.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01This is called Ernie.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Hippo Ernie is recovering from an infection in his gums.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08So he, mum Betty, and auntie Godzilla
0:08:08 > 0:08:12have been brought into an indoor enclosure today for a checkup.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Ahhh! Ernie looks really cute, doesn't he?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Hippos are vegetarians, so they're real softies, right, Sam?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22They're very, very territorial.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Now, these guys don't eat meat
0:08:24 > 0:08:26but they will kill things
0:08:26 > 0:08:28to get them out of their way if they're in the way.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Ah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32So that's quite a dangerous animal to be anywhere near.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35OK... Not so cute, then!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Adult hippos have at least 32 teeth
0:08:37 > 0:08:40including these two huge tusks.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44In fact, Ernie's mum and auntie have the same amount of teeth
0:08:44 > 0:08:46as grown-up humans.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Hmmm... I'm thinking a dental check sounds tricky.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Any ideas, Sam?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Here we've got some apples and cabbage, and this is what we use
0:08:54 > 0:08:56as a treat for the training we do on a daily basis,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58to get them to open their mouths.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- So, shall we get started?- Yeah. - Without further ado...chuck it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Well done, yay!
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Bull's-eye.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06With your hand - that's it, perfect. Throw it in.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It's an instant reward, you see? Well done, sir.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10You're hippo trainers, the pair of you - well done.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It were a little bit like basketball,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14trying to aim inside of the mouth.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I think they're a really beautiful animal.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19They're cute, but they're fearsome.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'm with you there, Sibarn.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Cute AND fearsome.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Aah!
0:09:24 > 0:09:25But it's not over yet.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28What we need is a toothbrush...
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- It was more like a toilet brush. - Yeah, it needed to be that big -
0:09:32 > 0:09:35their flippin' teeth are huge, like - argh!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Godzilla's monster gnashers first.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Quick as you can, Sibarn.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Whoa! Godzilla, we need to talk about mouthwash, girl!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48One more go, and then she gets her treats, OK?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- OK, is that...?- Well done.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Good girl.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Now, Betty as you can see -
0:09:54 > 0:09:57if you just give it a bit of a wipe round there...
0:09:57 > 0:10:01That's it, perfect, good girl. Well done.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04We can see that her gums are really, really good, aren't they?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09You're up next, Ernie. Let's see if that gum infection has cleared up.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Open.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Good boy. Well done. That's it.- Good boy.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16SHE LAUGHS
0:10:16 > 0:10:18That's it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Right, I can see that all that under there,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- which is where all the abscess was...- All clear.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23..is all clear. Yeah.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That's great news - Ernie's not in pain,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28and now has a clean set of gnashers.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Cute.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Junior Vets Romi and Jay are sorting Daisy's eye ulcer out.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45If her treatment works, she'll be able to go home today.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46My job?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Keeping Daisy's best mate Mildred occupied
0:10:48 > 0:10:51while Daisy has her eye treated, of course.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Don't worry, Mildred, Daisy's in safe hands with the Junior Vets.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Got a magazine to read or anything?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02OK, so I'm going to ask you to put some eye drops in.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08These special drops will only stick to poorly bits, like ulcers,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11so we want to see the green dye run away, leaving a clear eyeball.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Fingers crossed.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15One little squeeze...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I was a little bit scared, cos I didn't want to hurt her.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Romi's face, she looked so nervous,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22but then in the end she actually helped Daisy a lot.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27You can now see with your pen torch if we are healed.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Is there any green on the ulcer?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Is it that one there?- Yes.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It was really difficult to see at first...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37But when the liquid ran clear, we could see properly.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40That's good news - that means it's healed.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Nice. Hey, I tell you what, Daisy, good news all round.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I'm going to go tell Mildred - wait there.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Hey, Mildred. You'll never guess what - Daisy's eye healed.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I know!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Earlier, Kai asked us this quackers question...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04..But I've heard that ducks' quacks don't echo,
0:12:04 > 0:12:10even if they're in the most echoey atmosphere or environment -
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and I was just wondering if that is true.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Well, Kai, according to the boffins, it is actually...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20false.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22So, why do people think it's true?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Well, a duck quacks quite quietly...
0:12:25 > 0:12:27QUACKING
0:12:27 > 0:12:29..compared to, say, a big dog.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30DOG BARKS
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Oh, I see!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35So, the echo sounds like part of the duck's quack.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37That's right, my friend.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Case quacked. Hah!
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Ha, ha!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Back at the zoo, Sibarn and Ameer are unstoppable.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Wonder what's up next.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Hang about, what's that?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Ugh...- Eurgh!
0:12:53 > 0:12:56That clearly looks like it's come from a big animal.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00All right, let's go and find out what we've got to do.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Oh!- Oh, it's a rhino! You were right, Ameer.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07JOHNNY CHUCKLES
0:13:07 > 0:13:10This is Zimba, that's Balu, and these guys are white rhinos.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I've never seen an animal this big in real life before.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Never seen it!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Same size as, like, them small kind of vans,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and probably a lot, lot, lot heavier.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Yeah, like, a million tonnes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Not quite a million tonnes, Sibarn,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30but white rhinos do weigh as much as an average car,
0:13:30 > 0:13:35and they produce more than 20 kilos of poo per day. Eurgh!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Balu's come inside for a close-up inspection -
0:13:38 > 0:13:41that means we have to get close up, too - here goes!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45And as we're walking past, just stay an arm's length away,
0:13:45 > 0:13:46cos this is what they can do -
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and although they don't mean you any harm,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51they're a bit clumsy with these things on the end of their nose.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Junior Vets - over to you.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Balu has got a slight infection in his skin,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01so we've got some cream to put on it,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03and we've got some scrubbing brushes, as well,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04to give him a scrub all over,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07to make sure that there's nothing else on the skin.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10And are the rhinos happy about us scrubbing him,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13or are they going to start introducing us to their horn?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16They'll only do that if they want to have a sniff of you.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18They're really, really nice animals to work with.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19It's cleaning time!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Doesn't this rough brush hurt?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27No, it's very good for their skin - so get in there, hard as you can.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Rhinos like to wallow in mud,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33which protects their sensitive skin from the sun.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36To be honest, I think Balu likes me, actually so...
0:14:36 > 0:14:38So, we need to scrub Balu down
0:14:38 > 0:14:39and check in the folds of his neck
0:14:39 > 0:14:42to see if the infection is getting better.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Oh, you can see the dust flying off him.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Really felt like he was enjoying it, didn't he?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Yeah, because, like, after we've scrubbed him down,
0:14:51 > 0:14:52the skin infection looked a bit better.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55If you want to get a bit of cream on the end of your fingers...
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Go on, Ameer, get stuck in there.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Bit of healing cream on your sore bits, Balu, and job's a good 'un.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01I think it's working already!
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Definitely looks like he's enjoying it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05It will help Balu tremendously.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It means that we've had a good feel of his skin
0:15:07 > 0:15:09so we know there's nothing else coming on,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11and there's nothing underneath the mud,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and it also means that where it's just healing nicely, there,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16putting the cream on to make sure it's moisturised properly,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19so the healing can continue. Thank you, you've done really well.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22To be fair, I think we can be really pleased with ourselves.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25We've got one happy little rhino over there.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Little?!
0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK, Ameer, I'll give you that.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30A happy BIG rhino.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It's looking like good news for Daisy's poorly eye -
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Junior Vets Jay and Romi
0:15:40 > 0:15:43just need not get those nasty-looking tubes out.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Ouch!
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Daisy doesn't want to feel this, so get that area nice and numb, Jay.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Just slowly and gently.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54If I made one false move, then it would have hurt Daisy,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56and everything could've gone wrong.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Oh, vet Vicky's putting that numbing medicine
0:16:01 > 0:16:03right onto Daisy's eyeball.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04I can't look!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Does it hurt them when the needle goes through?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11It's a very fine needle, so it doesn't hurt very much.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17It's tense - the last thing we need is any complications.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'm sorry about Mildred getting in the way again.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Remember, they said your bum's too big.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29OK, Jay, do your stuff.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Perfect. Well done.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Remember, this is Jay's first ever patient.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Nice skills.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Yes - they're going to call you Steady Hand Jay.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Look at that!
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Just where my fingers are.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50If you cradle her head to you...
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Get a tight grip, Romi.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Very good! She's a good girl. - Good girl, Daisy.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59- All done, now.- You're all better.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04It felt great to take the catheter out, and, like, I was relieved.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Daisy, you're going home.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Kick it! Kick it! Back! Kick it!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13A celebration with your best friend Mildred is in order.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Kick it! Yeah!
0:17:15 > 0:17:16And shall we call this...
0:17:16 > 0:17:19The Happy That Daisy Is Better dance?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Genius, Inel!
0:17:21 > 0:17:22You're free!
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Have fun!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Ha, I'm sure they will!
0:17:30 > 0:17:35Barker, fetch us brilliant videos sent in by pet owners, please!
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Good boy.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38And, park.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42# Doggy
0:17:42 > 0:17:43# Doggy lift your tail up
0:17:43 > 0:17:44# Doggy
0:17:44 > 0:17:46# Doggy lift your tail up
0:17:46 > 0:17:47# Doggy
0:17:47 > 0:17:49# Doggy lift your tail up
0:17:49 > 0:17:52# Doggy lift your tail up and show us what you got. #
0:17:52 > 0:17:54OK, Alice, remember, we're sensitive souls.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Nothing too emotional, please.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59This is my cat Sooty.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02He has a very strange hobby.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06He is a very greedy cat, and he likes to play dead for food.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12HE SOBS
0:18:17 > 0:18:18THEY SOB
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I can't believe it!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22YOU can't believe it?! What about me?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25He's gone!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27THEY SOB
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Why?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37He's alive!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39What a fantastic actor!
0:18:39 > 0:18:40What...?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I thought he was...- So did I.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44So did I.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Oh...
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Stay safe.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Thanks, Alice. Now, let's see if we can solve a pet problem for Holly.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Why does my dog howl when the phone rings?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Oh, don't worry - I've solved this.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I can speak dog.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Check out the subtitles.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05PHONE RINGS
0:19:05 > 0:19:07DOG HOWLS
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I hope that's answered your question, Holly.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22You what? You haven't answered it in the slightest, Johnny!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh! It's like this.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Dogs actually howl to communicate over long distances.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Your pet pooch might think the phone is the sound of a distant dog.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I see - so he thinks he's chatting to other dogs.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Yeah, exactly.- So, I can't speak dog after all, then.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41No, Johnny. Afraid not.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45At the donkey hospital,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Junior Vets Jay and Romi are ready for their next patient.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Who's this, vet Karen?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51We've been called to see Snowy today.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Snowy's got a loose tooth at the front, here.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Oh, another tooth problem.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Poor Snowy - no wonder you've been...down in the mouth!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03That tooth has got to go.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09In you go. Oh, what a star. Clever girl.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Yeah, this is dental surgery Junior Vets style.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16It's all right.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Get that heart rate checked, Jay.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- So what could you hear, Jay?- Erm... Beating and it was going quite fast.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Yeah? Was it going "Ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom"?- Yeah.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I think she's a bit nervous, so we'll give her something now
0:20:33 > 0:20:35and then she'll calm down a lot.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Snowy's nice and chilled.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Let's get a closer look at that. What do you reckon, Jay?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45It feels weird and I can feel all the saliva.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- And the grass... - Do you want to have a feel?- No.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49It grosses me out a little bit.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It's like you're wobbling your own tooth.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I didn't want to touch it because it was disgusting
0:20:54 > 0:20:56and made me feel uneasy.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58It was just... Oh!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00You did the right thing.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Eurgh, I hate the dentists and turns out donkeys do too,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09so we're preparing Snowy for an anaesthetic.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13OK, so she may jump a little bit when this happens and that's OK.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Oh, there she goes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Brave girl, Snowy. We're nearly there now.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Sibarn and Ameer's final patient is...
0:21:29 > 0:21:31only the tallest mammal on the planet.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Now the thing about the giraffes is they can be quite skitty
0:21:34 > 0:21:36and this particular group of giraffes that we're going to go
0:21:36 > 0:21:40and see today, for you to help me with, have a little baby in there.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Now that baby was only born three days ago,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45so we have to be very quiet when we go in there because what
0:21:45 > 0:21:48we don't want is for mum to get all spooked and tread on the baby.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51We have to be really quiet and professional vets, as you are.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Are we ready?- Yes. - Let's go and see George. This way.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Quietly does it! Don't disturb the cute baby.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02It's dad George that we're here to see.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Oh, hello, George!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11He needs to be checked for creepy parasites today, but first, a treat.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Show him your cabbage leaves, Junior Vets.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16He loves them! How big is that tongue?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- His tongue was massive. - Yeah, I'd say.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21It was, like, really long and black.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Why are giraffes' tongues black?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27It stops them getting sunburnt in the wild. These guys are browsers.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30If you have to eat for long periods of time to fill up those big
0:22:30 > 0:22:33four stomachs that you've got, your tongue's going to get sunburnt
0:22:33 > 0:22:35if it's sticking out for all that time,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39so they've evolved with these dark-coloured tongues.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40So what's wrong with George, Sam?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43He's got some little scabby bits on his head
0:22:43 > 0:22:46and we're not too sure what they are or why they are.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49The scabs on his head might mean that George has lice,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52which would need treating straight away.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56This calls for a technical piece of equipment called...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58sticky tape to collect a sample.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00George is going to stick his head through
0:23:00 > 0:23:04and then you'll just have to brush that across the hairs on his face.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Oh, perfect. That's absolutely amazing, guys.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Now back to the lab to look for little mites and itchy ticks.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19What we're looking for is ectoparasites,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23so parasites that live on the skin as opposed to in the body,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and the ectoparasites you would see are little...
0:23:26 > 0:23:27They're like a little bug.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31You'd see a little round body and some little legs.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Is this making anyone else itchy? Eurgh...
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Let's hope George is bug-free. Those things sound horrible.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Right then, Ameer. What can you see in there?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I can see, like, a line and then there's little spots everywhere.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I see the hair and it looks like there is a bit of dust
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and grease there.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52The fact that you can see just a bit of dust,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54a bit of grease in the hair, that's what we wanted.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56We didn't want to see anything with legs.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57They've done a good job.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Well, George looks pretty happy with that, I'd say.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Well done, Junior Vets!
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Snowy's wobbly tooth has got to come out and Junior Vets
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Jay and Romi are on hand to help.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18OK, so these are the instruments that we're going to be using
0:24:18 > 0:24:20to take out Snowy's tooth today.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Good old-fashioned yank and pull, yeah?
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Absolutely.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25She'll be all right.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Hold tight, Jay. Karen's going in for that wobbly tooth.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31It will soon be over, Snowy.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Don't worry - she can't feel a thing.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44That's it. It's coming.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45There we go!
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- All out.- Can I have a feel, please?- Absolutely.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50There you are.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Do you want to hold it, Romi? - Erm... OK.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55This is new to me, though.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Karen gave me the tooth when she pulled it out
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and I still have it to prove it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It's still disgusting though!
0:25:05 > 0:25:07We'll get some water in a syringe
0:25:07 > 0:25:11and we'll flush that out for her so it's really nice and clean.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- That looks really nice and clean now.- Yep!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Whilst Snowy's mouth is still numb, the Junior Vets need to check
0:25:17 > 0:25:19that there's nothing else wrong,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21so Romi's got a long pole with a camera on the end.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Actually, it's called an endoscope.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25And wait for it...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Smile, Snowy!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29So that's the gap in between the teeth
0:25:29 > 0:25:31and can you see that it's green?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35It's got lots of food stuck in it, so we'll need to clear that out.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39OK. Well, it ain't minty fresh in there, but for a donkey with no
0:25:39 > 0:25:43toothbrush or hands to hold one, that looks pretty healthy.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- So can you feel her teeth? - Yeah.- Yeah?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52It feels all weird and I can feel her licking my hand.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Kind of.- Her tongue's moving. - Yeah, cos her tongue's moving.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Why do you think her tongue's moving?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Because she can feel my hand
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and she kind of doesn't want my hand in her mouth.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Absolutely.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09All done, Snowy. Time to get back to your friends.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Come on, sweetheart.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Follow her round the corner. Keep going!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Oh, I think she's keen to go home.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Yes, another satisfied customer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Great work today, Junior Vets!
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Sibarn and Ameer were brilliant
0:26:33 > 0:26:37from feisty little goats to cheeky big hippos.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Nothing phased them.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40What do you reckon, Sam?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Sibarn and Ameer have done really, really well today.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I was really impressed by the professionalism of them.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47They showed real good vet skills, especially in the giraffe house.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49They did exactly as they were asked to do.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51They're going to make great vets one day.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54And Jay and Romi proved that they have hearts of gold,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57nerves of steel and stomachs of iron.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58I was so proud of them.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I thought Jay was brilliant -
0:27:00 > 0:27:03he wasn't squeamish at all with the blood.
