0:00:03 > 0:00:04I'm Stacey Dooley.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08I love pets and hate seeing them ill or injured,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11but when they are, help is at hand at places like this,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15where amazing vets will go that extra mile to fix them up.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Meet rookie vet Rory...
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Oh, I do love a friendly rabbit.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Smells like dog sick. Urgh!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24..every pet's best friend, Cheryl...
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Ow, that really hurt!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32..the coolest vet in town, Cat...
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Come on, honey. Well, that's fine,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37you just sweep the floor while you come on in.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39..and always caring, gentle James.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41You're gorgeous.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- HE LAUGHS - Don't attack me!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49They're the vets with The Pets Factor.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Coming up on today's show...
0:00:59 > 0:01:01..there's a real emergency for James...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03What's happened? Oh, gosh.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05That's quite deep, isn't it?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08..when his colleague's dog is hurt.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Cat gets to perform her favourite surgery...
0:01:11 > 0:01:14We're just going to give it a little squeeze and see what's inside it.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17..when a moggy has a gooey problem.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20And Cheryl treats a tiny dog...
0:01:20 > 0:01:21DOG SNORTS
0:01:21 > 0:01:22..with a big attitude.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26You're so feisty, aren't you?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Yes, you are!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30First, let's join James in Bristol,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33who's dealing with a familiar face at the practice.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38All the staff here love their pets.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40In fact, they are all part of the family.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43How cool is it that we get to bring our pets to work?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47And little Dot Cotton, Amy's puppy, she's always around for cuddles.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Hey!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yeah!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Oh, life is so fun as a puppy, isn't it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55We've got Fran's dog, Lucy Little Legs,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58who comes in for her teeth cleaned. Pffft!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Oh, dear. Are we a bit stinky?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05But today, Cat the receptionist has brought in her own dog,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07and it's a real emergency.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09What's happened? Oh, gosh.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10That is quite deep, isn't it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I think she's gone... Both paws... I think it might be barbed wire.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Has it just happened now, has it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:22- Yeah.- Kacie is a lurcher, and she's faster than the wind.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25But she's not so great at stopping.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28And out walking today, she seems to have run
0:02:28 > 0:02:31into some nasty barbed wire.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32- RABBIT:- Uh-oh!
0:02:32 > 0:02:33DOG SOBS
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So Trevor's raced her straight to James.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Is she on anything? Any medication at the moment?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Nothing.- She's otherwise really healthy and well?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43- Yeah.- Good.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- PARROT SQUAWKS - If you're squeamish, look away now.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Oh, gosh. It's right under there as well, isn't it?
0:02:51 > 0:02:52- Yeah.- I can see your bone.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Poor Cat and Trevor are really in shock here.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I mean, it's awful when any animal get injured, but little Kacie,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00you know, she's a friend to all of us here.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02There we go.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Oh, look at that face, eh?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- She does a good sad face.- Aww!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Unfortunately, this breed of dog has really thin skin,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13and Kacie needs surgery to stitch this up.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It's OK. It's OK.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Aw!- All right. Oh, don't worry.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23It's so horrible when it's your own, isn't it?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's going to be OK. It'll be all right.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- She's like our little baby.- I know.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34All the team need to work quickly to get Kacie into surgery.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36The longer she is untreated,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39the more chance there is of an infection setting in.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41It's a horrible wait for Cat.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43It's hard.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46It's always sad when you see other dogs and cats come in injured,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and then when it's your own, it's really sad.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Isn't it, sweetie?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03CAT MEOWS
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Let's go to Sheffield now to catch up with Cat the vet.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12After school, this waiting room is often full of pet-loving kids
0:04:12 > 0:04:15who have concerns about their little best friends.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16High five.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I love seeing kids and their pets.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22If someone brings their first-ever pet to me, it's a real honour,
0:04:22 > 0:04:23and I have to deliver.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Four-year-old Ava has brought in her cat, Blade.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31She can't remember him not being in her life, as he is twice her age.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35We play and we cuddle each other.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36I love him.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40These guys have grown up together and are inseparable.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56But Ava and her mum Rebecca
0:04:56 > 0:04:59have noticed something strange on Blade's head
0:04:59 > 0:05:01that they want to have checked out.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04He's got a lump on his head that's been there for about
0:05:04 > 0:05:08two or three months, and it's just been getting bigger and bigger.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Time for this pet cat to see vet Cat.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Hi, Blade.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Come on out, darling.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16There he is.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19What's he in here today for?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Because he's... Can you see that lump on his head?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Yeah. Is that's what's wrong with him, is it?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26It's growing now.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Is it getting bigger and bigger?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31As vets, we know the signs to look for,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35and if a lump or a bump is growing, it usually needs to come off.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37We'll get that surgery done for you today.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39He'll come back to you with a little bald head.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40We're going to take his hair off,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and we'll take the little lump off as well.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47He'll be bald. He'll have to wear a hat to keep his head warm.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53So it's off to surgery for Blade, something Ava knows all about.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55You had to go to sleep, didn't you?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Like Blade's going to do today to have an operation,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01and what did they get when you went to sleep?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03What did they get out of your nose?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05A peanut.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06A peanut!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08THEY LAUGH
0:06:08 > 0:06:10How did that get there, I wonder?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Time to say goodbye, Ava.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Blade is in safe hands.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Back now to Bristol with James and Kacie the lurcher.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Kacie is being prepped for emergency surgery.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I think we are ready to go.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37She's badly cut her leg after running into some barbed wire
0:06:37 > 0:06:39in the woods.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41She belongs to Cat the receptionist,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44and today she is seeing first-hand just what other owners go through.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47OK, we're going to get started, if that's OK.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- That's fine, go for it. - Yeah? All right.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52We'll give you a shout when she's all ready and woken up
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- and looking a lot happier. - Thank you. That would be nice.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Poor Cat, I know exactly what she's feeling.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59When our dog, Oliver, got hit by a car, I just went to pieces,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03but he pulled through, and I'm determined Kacie will as well.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Cat just can't stay away from her best friend.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I'll stay with her till she goes in.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Right, let's get you to sleep, then we'll have a good look.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- PARROT SQUAWKS - If you're squeamish, look away now.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22You can see in the wound now, just as we're starting to clean it up,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25we've got some stringy, white tissue just underneath the surface,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28which is actually a tendon of one of the toes.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And that's one of the things that we just need to get in there
0:07:31 > 0:07:33and have a really good look at.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35The tendon is the bit that actually helps Kacie's foot move,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38so if it's torn, that could be really bad news.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Almost worse than breaking your leg.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43It can take ages to heal, and she could end up with a limp.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46James and his nurse assistant, Fran,
0:07:46 > 0:07:51need to get Kacie into surgery fast before infection takes hold.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53We have to already assume that this wound is infected,
0:07:53 > 0:07:58so we now need to just do anything we can to prevent any more infection
0:07:58 > 0:07:59creeping into the wound.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02If you don't get in there and get them sorted out,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04they could lose the leg. It can get really nasty,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08so I really want priority to get her through to theatre,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10get this sorted out ASAP.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12So let's go.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Stay with us as James battles with the germs in Kacie's wound.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20So what I'm doing is just literally
0:08:20 > 0:08:22cleaning out the wound as best I can.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28And Cat gets to grips with Blade's uber-gooey head.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Right, then. Are we ready?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Oh, are you ready? Everybody ready?
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Look at it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40But next, let's head over to Essex to see vet Cheryl.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Hi. Caught you.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Being a vet, you have to do so many different things.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48I'm a surgeon...
0:08:48 > 0:08:49This should be quite simple to fix.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52..a chemist...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55So it's twice a day for a week.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57..even a medical detective.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I mean, we're going to have to investigate.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03And today, detective Cheryl is on a new case.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Coco the six-month-old Chihuahua is here with her owners,
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Molly and Aaron.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Coco is the most stylish Chihuahua in town,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15with an outfit for every occasion.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18This girl has style and attitude to boot.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23But lately, something has been messing with her street cred.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Little Coco has started making the strangest sounds.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30COCO SNORTS
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Better get to Cheryl to find out why.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Hello, sweetie. Her many times a day does she do it, do you think?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39On a bad day, I'd say 10 or 15 times.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Really? That is quite excessive, isn't it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43She's still doing it quite often, yeah.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Like, do you know what it is she's actually doing when she does it?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So what she's doing is reverse sneezing.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- COCO SNORTS - A normal dog or a cat,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54they get a little bit of an irritation and they sneeze,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56just like us. Ah-tchoo!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Coco makes a strange sound, which is called reverse sneezing,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03which is where air gets stuck in her nostrils.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06So she makes a noise constantly, like...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08SHE SNORTS
0:10:08 > 0:10:10A little bit like a pig snorting.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13For some dogs, it's just one of those things they do,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15but for others, it can be the symptom
0:10:15 > 0:10:17of a much more serious problem.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20You hear it and you don't know whether to panic
0:10:20 > 0:10:21or just let her get on with it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24She seems to get over it and then she just acts like normal again.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Cheryl needs to get the bottom of what's causing this.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Good girl. - COCO SNORTS
0:10:30 > 0:10:31But Coco doesn't seem too keen.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35You're so feisty, aren't you?
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Yes, you are!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Dogs don't normally snap at me.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Poor Coco is a little nervous,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45so Cheryl sedates her so she can see properly inside her mouth.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Sorry, that's the mean bit done.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Brave Coco!
0:10:49 > 0:10:51She starts by looking for any blades of grass or little sticks
0:10:51 > 0:10:54that could be lodged in Coco's throat.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58There's nothing stuck there.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00With nothing to be found in her mouth,
0:11:00 > 0:11:01the mystery continues,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04and they move in for a deeper look.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06X-rays.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09This is her windpipe. This is what we're looking at,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11and there's nothing obstructing it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13There's no bones that she's breathed in.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Her chest looks fine. She doesn't look like she's got asthma.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Cheryl has ruled out anything serious,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20but she is determined to get to the bottom of this.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Nurse Sarah now takes a sample of Coco's blood,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25which could have the answer.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28We're going to send off an allergy test to make sure
0:11:28 > 0:11:31that she hasn't got allergies to something,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33like grass or house mites or dust mites,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35like lots of dogs do,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37because that obviously could get worse as she gets older.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40But physically, she's perfect.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- You're going to be OK, Coco. - COCO SNORTS
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Aww!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Coco's owners will have to wait for her test results,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51but, for now, it's home time.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I know how distressing it can be for an owner, but luckily,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56it's not a life-threatening problem.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59When it happens, don't panic.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01What I do sometimes with one of my dogs is put your hand
0:12:01 > 0:12:03or put your finger over the end of her nose when she's doing it,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05so then she opens her mouth to breathe. Yeah?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Yeah, that's fine.- Thank you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Lovely. Any worries, ring me.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Otherwise, yes...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Oh!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Oh, Coco. Oh, dear.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17And to think, I had kisses.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Let's go back to Yorkshire now to see Cat the vet and Blade.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Ava's cat Blade is about to have an operation
0:12:31 > 0:12:35to take off a lump that has mysteriously popped up on his head.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Things like this aren't particularly common in cats,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42which is one of the reasons why we're taking it off,
0:12:42 > 0:12:46because anything that's a bit unusual is always better removed
0:12:46 > 0:12:49rather than leaving it in place - just in case it is something nasty.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Now Blade is safely under,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Cat can get ready for one of her favourite sorts of surgery.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I've got a bizarre obsession with popping scabs.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02So has every veterinary professional.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06It's a prerequisite for doing this job, that we have to enjoy
0:13:06 > 0:13:11picking scabs, and squeezing spots, and emptying abscesses.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It's fabulous fun. It's the best part of my day.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21We're just going to give it a little squeeze and see what's inside it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23The crowd has gathered for the goo-fest.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Everybody ready?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Oh, are you ready?
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Is everybody ready? Look at it.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32There we go. It's like a rabbit one.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Out it comes.- Look at that.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- Wowzers.- Very satisfying watching it all just come out and go...
0:13:41 > 0:13:43That was good. OK!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I love it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I cannot resist a good squeeze, but actually,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52this tells me that it's nothing to worry about,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and it's just a cyst rather than a growth,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58which is just like a great big zit.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02So now, it really is just like a big empty carrier bag
0:14:02 > 0:14:05where all that goo used to be.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Blade now needs to go to the theatre to get that big hole cleaned up
0:14:09 > 0:14:10and stitched up.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16A little cut here.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Oh, look. It looks like a little rose, look.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20By the time we're finished with Blade,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22he's going to look like he's had brain surgery,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25but actually, he's going to be completely fine.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30All done. There we go.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34With the skin removed, Cat can now stitch Blade's head back up.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I think we will send Blade home with a little cone on.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It is very tempting for cats to scratch things,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41especially on their heads,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45and we definitely don't want to have to see him again to fix the wound
0:14:45 > 0:14:48or stitch it back up again if he opens it up.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Blade, you're all done.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's like there was nothing ever there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Time to reunite Blade with his bessie mate, Ava.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Here he is.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Look, he's got a little hat on.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I really like having patients like Blade,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10because it is incredibly satisfying for me to be able to fix him.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Luckily, this is quite an easy thing to be able to do - to find a lump,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19to remove it, and, in Blade's case,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21that should be the end of the matter.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I see no reason why this would recur.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Once his fur grows back, it'll be like nothing was ever there.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36There you go.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Back to Bristol with James and Kacie the lurcher.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44He's scrubbing in for emergency surgery to fix Kacie's paw
0:15:44 > 0:15:46after she cut it out playing in the woods.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50It's a worrying time for her owner, Cat, the practice receptionist.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55It's vital James is completely sterile for her operation.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Barbed wire, it's like having a dirty piece of wire
0:15:59 > 0:16:02ripped through your skin.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It's kind of a bit of a recipe for disaster in terms of infection.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10So what I'm doing is just literally cleaning out the wound
0:16:10 > 0:16:11as best I can,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15just to try and get all of the horrible bits of grit
0:16:15 > 0:16:19and hair and anything that might have got trapped in there.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Have you got some more saline?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23We'll just give that another flush.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24PARROT SQUAWKS
0:16:24 > 0:16:27The solution to pollution is dilution.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Oh!- Do you like that?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32He's done it. The wound is clean.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Now James can check to see if Kacie's injury
0:16:34 > 0:16:37has caused any lasting damage to her leg.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41So these are her little white tendons here, running down,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43that you can see they're all nicely intact,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46which is exactly what we want to see.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50It looks like Kacie's had a lucky escape this time.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54If Cat's husband had not been quite so quick to bring her down,
0:16:54 > 0:16:59we may have been in quite a different situation.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- A few rows of stitches... - Last stitch, Fran.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05..and then there's just one more important decision to make.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Which bandage will it be?
0:17:07 > 0:17:11We have sheep, cows, or pigs.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Oh! We're going to have to do pigs. - Which, you know,
0:17:14 > 0:17:15me and James would choose pigs.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I think, seeing as we've done the operation,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I think it can only be pigs, can't it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Great work from all the team today.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30After a few hours on the ward, it's time to go home.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32It's home time. Hey?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I know, it's OK.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37It's OK.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Hey!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52She's my little sweetheart.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53My little best friend.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56That bond between owners and pets is amazing,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58and when it's you that's actually helped them,
0:17:58 > 0:17:59it's the best feeling in the world.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10A few weeks later, just look at Kacie go.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12She was a really good patient.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Considering she couldn't go for a walk for ten days,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16she was actually fantastic.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20And then when she could go for a walk, it was meant to be calm,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23quiet walks, but trying to keep her from running
0:18:23 > 0:18:25is quite hard when you bring her out here.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Cat and Trevor might have trouble keeping up with their speedy hound,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39but they wouldn't have it any other way.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I wouldn't be without her at all.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43She's everything to me.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Unconditional love.- Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46She's amazing.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And I think you're amazing, too, Kacie.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Take it easy, girl.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Now, I wonder what happened to Coco, the sneezing Chihuahua.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Well, Cheryl solved the mystery.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Coco does have allergies, but with a few lifestyle changes,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10her funny little sneezes will hopefully go away.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Next time on The Pets Factor,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Cheryl performs some serious surgery on a goldfish...
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Fingers crossed.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And toes and gills.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Scout, come on in.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29..Cat the vet needs to tread carefully around a greyhound
0:19:29 > 0:19:30with a sore paw...
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Such enthusiasm.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33I know. Come on.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35There we go, baby.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38..and James meets a super pet fan who loves her animals
0:19:38 > 0:19:40a little too much...
0:19:40 > 0:19:43If he is carrying that much extra weight around on those back legs,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46that's probably why he's starting to struggle a little bit.
