0:00:02 > 0:00:03DOG BARKS CAT MEOWS
0:00:03 > 0:00:05I'm Stacey Dooley, and I'm mad about animals.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09They're great. But what's not so great is seeing them sick.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Thankfully, when that happens, they can come to places like this,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16where amazing vets work around the clock to make them better.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Eh?
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Meet passionate pet lover, Cheryl.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24And that is how she broke it in the first place!
0:00:24 > 0:00:25SHE LAUGHS
0:00:25 > 0:00:27The biggest softie of them all, gentle James.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Hello, Stu. - HE LAUGHS
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Come on, Smallie, come for a little swim!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35The vet who talks to the animals, Cat.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36You are a snorty pig!
0:00:36 > 0:00:37GIRL LAUGHS
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Ooh, no, don't eat the tape measure!
0:00:39 > 0:00:42And the one with all the best moves, Rory.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43HE SINGS
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Oh, look at that. Oh. Aw! Wow! That was a snog.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51They're the vets with...
0:00:57 > 0:00:58PARROT SQUAWKS
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Coming up on today's show...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04James is concerned about a much-loved Labrador's swollen paw.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Is it infection,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08or is there something a bit more sinister at play?
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Rory's on the case to solve the problem with this guinea pig's eye.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17There's something underneath that eye that's rubbing on the eye.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19And it's celebration time for Cheryl...
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Hello!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23..but the party food is a right dog's dinner.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24SHE LAUGHS
0:01:26 > 0:01:29But first, let's hook up with James in Bristol.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Ooh, hello!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33A true softie, James loves all animals...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Now then, shall we get you home?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38..but dogs have a special place in his heart.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah, she's very sweet, aren't you?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Choosing a pet has got to be one of the toughest jobs in the world,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45but when I got to choose my own,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47it had to be my super-soppy Labrador Oliver.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Let's have a look.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Oh, poochie, I'm so proud!
0:01:51 > 0:01:52I'm so proud!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56But today it's another VIP Lab,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Winnie, who's in urgent need of James' healing hands.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Laid-back Winnie loves to chillax at home with owner Barbara.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09But when duty calls, wonder dog Winnie...
0:02:09 > 0:02:11flies into action!
0:02:11 > 0:02:15As an assistance dog, she's the eyes for her partially-sighted owner.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20But with a poorly paw, she's lost her superpowers,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22so she needs a hero.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Calling superhero vet James.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Everyone loves their pets,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32but without Winnie, Barbara's life would be really difficult.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I've had Winnie for five years,
0:02:35 > 0:02:40and until I had her, I hadn't been out unaccompanied for 17 years.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44I can't go out without her, unless somebody takes me.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Hello, there!
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Now, then... Hi!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- How are you doing?- Hello!- Hi.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- I'm James.- Hello.- Hi.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- And this is Winnie?- This is Winnie. - Is that right? Yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Dogs like Winnie are the eyes and ears for their owners,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58helping them cope with everyday life.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Good girl!
0:02:59 > 0:03:03So it's vital that I get her back to fitness as soon as possible.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06She's not putting her right paw down firmly.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- It's the front right paw, is it? - Front right.- Yeah, OK. Hello.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Mm, it is a bit swollen there, actually, isn't it?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13If I just part the hair a little bit,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16you can see it's really quite swollen.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'm hoping for the fact that it's come up relatively quickly
0:03:19 > 0:03:22in the two weeks, this is probably an infection.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Right.- But I would hate to say that for sure
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- without doing some tests.- Yeah.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Winnie will have to hang on until tomorrow for treatment.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- She will see you tomorrow! - Bye, Winnie!
0:03:32 > 0:03:33But as this is a top priority,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and Barbara can't make it back to the surgery herself...
0:03:38 > 0:03:42..James drives out first thing in the morning to pick Winnie up.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Hello, Mrs Ward.- Good morning! - How are you?
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Hello, Winnie! Oh, you look very happy, don't you?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Here's hoping James can get to the root of the problem.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55As a vet, you do feel quite a bit of pressure,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58but when someone's relying on their dog as much as Barbara,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00you know you have to get it right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06First job back at the surgery is to give Winnie's poorly paw an X-ray.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10She's gently sedated while James gets to work.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15All this here is extra swelling, which shouldn't really be there.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And the question is - what is that swelling?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Is it infection, or is there...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22is there something a bit more...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24a bit more sinister at play?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Which is...which is just what I'm a little bit worried about
0:04:27 > 0:04:28at this stage.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Winnie might have just stepped on something sharp,
0:04:33 > 0:04:34but James is worried it's a broken bone
0:04:34 > 0:04:37or even a tumour that's to blame.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39When you get faced with a situation like this,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41the worst always crosses your mind.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You don't want to think like that,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46but, equally, we have to look into it if there is something there.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53It's one of those situations where you hope for the best,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55you know, expect the worst and hope for the best,
0:04:55 > 0:04:56I suppose, isn't it?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00We've all got our fingers crossed for you, Winnie.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Come on, big man!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Next, we're heading to London to see Rory.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19I have been OBSESSED with animals, big or small, since I was a boy.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Hey!
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I've always had pets.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25And my favourite days out as a kid
0:05:25 > 0:05:28were going and seeing new animals!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31So being a vet is the perfect job for me.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Today, Rory is seeing a patient who has become a bit of a regular,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39brought in by owner Dara.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41This is Romeo, he's an Abyssinian guinea pig
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and he's got a sore eye.
0:05:44 > 0:05:50Little Romeo is always acting up and performing for his owner.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52But lately...
0:05:52 > 0:05:55he's lost his direction because of a poorly eye.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Romeo, Romeo, wherefore is your eye sore, Romeo?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Hi! What you doing?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's OK, isn't it? Yeah?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Over the past week, Rory's been investigating
0:06:11 > 0:06:13what's causing Romeo's sore eye.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Day one, day four.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Let's pop some dye in and see what day...
0:06:18 > 0:06:19six is like.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And the best way to see if his poorly eye is healing...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26You know what's coming. You do.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28..is with this special dye that makes any damaged areas
0:06:28 > 0:06:30glow bright green.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I think that's starting to look much more healthy.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It's... There's definitely still some stain there, but you'll see,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- it's really fluorescent there.- Yeah. - Really quite obviously green.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Yeah, definitely. - That looks more of a yellowy green.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- I want you to continue those drops for another week, OK?- OK.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- And then I want to have a look. - Sure.- Is that all right?- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- Perfect.- Fine.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51His eye is looking better.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54It's just not healing as quickly as I'd expect.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56So if it's not completely clear in a couple of days,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I'm going to have to put my detective hats on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Oh, wrong hat.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10One week later, Dara is back with Romeo
0:07:10 > 0:07:14and, for moral support, his best friend Lysander has come along too.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Hi!- Hello!- Oh, we've got two today!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Come for a cuddle? Come for a cuddle? Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23But Romeo's eye still isn't right.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Oh, is that gunk?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Hmm. This eye. It's still not healing.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And now there's some gunk in the way!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I'm just going to try and take away that gunk
0:07:33 > 0:07:36from the bottom of your eye. I know, sweetie, I'm sorry.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Yes, you're so clever, aren't you?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Rory decides to take one last look.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47And something catches HIS eye.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Ah!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It looks like Rory might have finally found the problem.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54There's something underneath that eye that's rubbing on the eye.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- Oh!- OK? I can see it.- OK.- OK?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Ouch! It would NEVER heal with that in there!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05The tricky bit now is getting this troublesome thing out.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Stick around to see what Rory finds lurking in Romeo's eye.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I am SO happy!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18And James is on a mission to get working dog Winnie back on her feet.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Normally, people hate doing pus,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23but when I see pus, I'm very happy.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Time to head over to Cheryl and her team in Essex.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Hello, guys! Do you know what makes my job so good?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's having such an amazing team around me.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Everyone just loves animals just as much as me.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47So as well as making them physically better,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50we make sure they get lots of TLC every single time.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Good girl.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53You were so brave.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And while the practice is quiet for a change, Cheryl has come up
0:08:58 > 0:09:01with a brilliant idea to celebrate the vets practice running
0:09:01 > 0:09:03for three years.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I just want to tell you the idea.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So, birthday party extravaganza.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12They can have a cup of tea and/or a soft drink, and birthday cake.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Are you not excited? Do you think it's a good idea?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I think she wants to be excited.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- I'm just not sure.- Aw...
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I think it sounds like...a lot of faff.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24No! Really, genuinely, what's your opinion?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I've just given you my genuine opinion.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28"No, that's the wrong opinion to have."
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Why is nobody getting excited about this?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I guess I'll just have to organise it all by myself.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36THEY LAUGH
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Right, we need a cake, balloons,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45awards for the bravest pets...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48OK, Cheryl, you can have a party.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52And, a few weeks later, even head nurse Jade...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Sit.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56..has eventually come round to the idea
0:09:56 > 0:09:58and is at home baking some special treats.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04I'm making cakes for the party because Cheryl made me.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Her own posse of pets seem very interested in what she's up to.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14But Jade's not the only one helping with the party food,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16so the competition is on.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Cheryl's mum is making a cake for humans,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Nick is making dog cake pops,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27and I'm making peanut butter dog cupcakes.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- SHE SNIFFS - Smells disgusting.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Too late to worry about that now, Jade.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Yeah, it's going to be great.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Excited.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Ew.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Excuse me, will you come down, please?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Time to re-join James and Winnie the Labrador.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Winnie is an assistance dog for her partially-sighted owner.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00But a badly swollen paw has put her out of action.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02It looks really red, doesn't it? Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07James has taken an X-ray to try and find out exactly what's wrong.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10It doesn't look like the actual bone structure
0:11:10 > 0:11:13in the toe has had any sort of damage or any change.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Which is good news, really good news.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20But James is no closer to finding out what has caused the swelling,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23so the next step is to take a sample off the tissue inside,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25and he's hoping it will be pussy.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Normally, people hate seeing pus.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32But when I see pus, I'm very happy.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Cos pus is very easy to treat. - HE LAUGHS
0:11:36 > 0:11:38James has to use a very sharp needle to extract
0:11:38 > 0:11:41fluid from inside Winnie's paw.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42SQUAWK!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44If you're squeamish, look away now.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49The sample will be sent to the lab to be examined.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53But the initial signs are positive.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56This looks kind of like almost creamy, and you can see all
0:11:56 > 0:12:00these little flecks of inflammatory tissue in there.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05I would hope that it might actually be pus, which would be
0:12:05 > 0:12:08really good news, and then we can treat this as an infection.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Having got those X-rays and having got the slides that
0:12:12 > 0:12:14look like that, I'm suddenly starting to just
0:12:14 > 0:12:17calm down a little bit that this might be something
0:12:17 > 0:12:19we can sort out relatively quickly and easily.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Which would be really fab if that's the case.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25For now, all they can do is wait and hope.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Good girl.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31A few hours later and Winnie is ready to head back home...
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Say goodbye. - HE LAUGHS
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Bye, Winnie!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37..with James on chauffeur duties again for this lovely lady.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Hello! - HE LAUGHS
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- What are you doing?- I know.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- I just thought we'd just say "how are you?".- Hello.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Here we go.- Has she been good?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51She's been wonderful.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh, Winnie.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It would be great to give Barbara good news, but I just can't
0:12:57 > 0:13:01raise her hopes too high until I am sure Winnie is going to be fine.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- We are 90% of the way there... - Still investigating.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07..but we've still just got to wait for the results to come in.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Right.- What I'm going to suggest we do in the meantime
0:13:10 > 0:13:12is start her on some antibiotics.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Let's treat for a week.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15That'll give us some time to get the results back
0:13:15 > 0:13:17from the laboratory as well.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18And, then, hopefully,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20this time in a week,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22the swelling should have gone down, fingers crossed.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26JAMES LAUGHS
0:13:26 > 0:13:28There's a good girl.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Everybody's fallen in love with her at the practice.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- She's so sweet.- What a performance!
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Bye-bye. We'll see you shortly.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42See you next time. Bye.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Winnie, here's hoping you and Barbara
0:13:43 > 0:13:46can get out and about again soon.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Mate, yeah, I am talking to you.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Let's get back to London to catch up with Rory and Romeo.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Let's do this.- Let's do this.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Ready?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Romeo the guinea pig has been acting out of sorts lately...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14..because of his poorly eye.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I'm sorry. This is probably really sore.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'm sorry, mate, I'm really sorry.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26The cause of his sore eye has always been a bit of a mystery.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31But now Rory thinks he has spotted a piece of hay stuck under his eyelid.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You know what's coming, don't you?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'm really sorry, mate, but we do have to get that out
0:14:36 > 0:14:38because I can see it now and I'm 100% convinced
0:14:38 > 0:14:40there's something in there.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Romeo doesn't really understand why we're holding him down like this.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46But the sooner I can get that piece of hay out of his eye,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48the sooner he will feel better.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58At last.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yes! Come on!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I am SO happy.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- How sore...- Oh!- ..must that have been?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Poor Romeo has had this bit of hay stuck in his eye all that time.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12What a brave boy.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14OK, it might not look that big.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17But, compared to the size of Romeo's eye, it's huge!
0:15:17 > 0:15:21It'd be like me having a tree leaf in my eye.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25How does that happen?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- That's a grass seed from his hay. - SHE GROANS
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Oh, fella, I am so sorry.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You poor little thing.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I think that is going to heal beautifully now.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39You little trooper.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43He's going to go to sleep now.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Yeah. Are you feeling super-relaxed?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Romeo can finally go back into his carrier
0:15:49 > 0:15:51with his best friend Lysander.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52You know where you're going, don't you?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54You can see the carrot already.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55SHE LAUGHS
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Thank you.- No worries.- Oh!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02As Romeo heads off for lots of treats and cuddles,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Rory can't wait to share the good news.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Lou-Lou-Lou.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Guess where that came from.- Where?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- A guinea pig's eye. - Where was it?- How cool is that?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Did you just get it out of that? - Sat under his eye.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17SHE WHIMPERS
0:16:25 > 0:16:27DOG WHINES
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Time to head back to see Cheryl and her team in Essex.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35It's party time.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Around 50 dogs and their owners are on their way
0:16:38 > 0:16:41to celebrate the practice's third birthday.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43And Cheryl is getting excited.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Hopefully, all the clients and pets will have a really good time...
0:16:47 > 0:16:48when they get here.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Cheryl has helped all sorts of dogs...
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Hello.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55..big and small, over the past three years...
0:16:56 > 0:17:00..so it's a perfect opportunity to come and say thank you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Hello.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05You are making a big entrance, aren't you?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09And there are some familiar faces on the guest list.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Rocky the accident-prone French Bulldog,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14who gave Cheryl a bit of a surprise.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I found a fracture.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Also, a nail.- Oh, my gosh.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22And one of Cheryl's favourites,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Bambi the Pomeranian puppy,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26who needed a bit of help with his potty training.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Ooh!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Bambi, don't get it on me!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32That was his party trick!
0:17:33 > 0:17:38And not forgetting beautiful Skye, the Siberian Husky,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41who has already attracted a crowd of admirers.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I think that if I ever decide to stop being a vet,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I've got a fantastic career in front of me as a party planner.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Yay! That was a good one!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54And what's more...
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Guys...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58..Jade's cakes are going down a storm with her canine guests.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Made with flower, egg and peanut butter, these healthy
0:18:04 > 0:18:08dog snacks are technically also fit for humans to eat.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10SHE CACKLES
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Well, I did say technically.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16That is dry.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17I'm not offended because...
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I mean, at least they're dry.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24See? Frank likes it.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28But today is also about awarding bravery.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Remember Jesse,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32the tea-drinking Jack Russell
0:18:32 > 0:18:35who had these two huge lumps removed from her belly?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Well, she is getting a special award.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Well done, Jesse. What do you think of that?
0:18:40 > 0:18:41APPLAUSE
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And it is easy to guess what her celebration drink is.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47A well-deserved brew.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Here's to many more years of brilliant vetting.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Well, Cheryl and the team sure know how to throw a good party.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04But there is something else to celebrate, too.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Remember that lovely assistance dog, Winnie?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Hello. Hi, Winnie!
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Good girl.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15This lovely Lab's lab results revealed nothing alarming.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- She is not reacting, is she? - She's not pulling away.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- You can have a gold star.- Thank you.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I think Winnie is the one that needs the gold star.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27But for this loyal dog, it is back to the day job.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Time for this inseparable pair to hit the town.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Well, that is it for this series of The Pets Factor.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Top vetting, guys, and keep up the good work.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Yeah!
