0:00:01 > 0:00:04DOG YELPS, CAT MEOWS
0:00:04 > 0:00:08I'm Stacey Dooley, and I love nothing more than seeing happy pets.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11And sometimes when our best buddies are a little under the weather,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16they come to places like this, where brilliant vets are on hand to
0:00:16 > 0:00:18get them back on their paws again.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Meet passionate pet lover Cheryl...
0:00:20 > 0:00:23And that is how she broke it in the first place.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27..biggest softie of them all, gentle James...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Hello, Stu!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Come on, Smallie, come for a little swim.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35..the vet who talks to the animals, Cat...
0:00:35 > 0:00:37You are a snorty pig.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Oh, no, don't eat the tape measure!
0:00:39 > 0:00:42..and the one with all the best moves, Rory.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43HE SINGS TUNE
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Oh, look at that.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Oh, wow, that was a snog!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51They're the vets with The Pets Factor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Coming up on today's show...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Rory helps a French bulldog who's all out of puff.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- It's a bit like breathing... - HE INHALES THROUGH NOSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:08..while, like, always having a pinched nose.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Cheryl operates on one of her favourite patients.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I actually bounced out of bed this morning knowing that
0:01:14 > 0:01:15she was coming in.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19And Cat and vet Nigel are in trouble with nurse Ashley
0:01:19 > 0:01:21about their overweight pets.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Come on, Fatty.- Oh, my goodness.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24It's not that bad!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30First, we're off to London to see what Rory's up to.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Fist pump! Nice!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Being a vet, every day you learn something new, especially
0:01:35 > 0:01:37when it comes to operations.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Oh, look at that!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I want to see what's in the dog!
0:01:41 > 0:01:42This is going to be fun, I think.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Some days, it's a piece of cake.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47This is a super-quick op.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49But others... they can be full of surprises.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Look at that.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58But not all operations are an emergency.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Some are done before a small problem becomes a huge one.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Meet Napoleon the French bulldog
0:02:06 > 0:02:08and his best friend and owner Jackie.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Which one do you want? Do you want this one?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Or do you want this one? Have this one.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Napoleon loves playing footy.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19He has all the skills.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22But he's always left on the sidelines
0:02:22 > 0:02:24because he quickly runs out of puff.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26SNORTING
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And he sounds like he is snoring, even when he's awake.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34So Napoleon needs some seriously specialist surgery to help him
0:02:34 > 0:02:35breathe better.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39NAPOLEON SNORTS
0:02:39 > 0:02:41It looks like you want more attention.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Napoleon struggles to breathe
0:02:44 > 0:02:46because his nostrils are really narrow,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49and as he gets older, it will only get worse.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53You're going into hospital, Napoleon,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56to make your breathing better.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Don't look so sad.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- VOICE BREAKING:- Yeah, he's a big part of my life, so...
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Sorry...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I just really hope it does work
0:03:06 > 0:03:09and I hope it does improve his quality of life.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Don't worry, Jackie - Rory can fix this.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17This is a big day for Napoleon.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Obviously, with any of these surgeries,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22especially with airway surgery, there is risk.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24See you later. Be good.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I can see how much Jackie loves Napoleon.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'm going to do everything I can to keep him safe.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36It is hard to explain because he doesn't understand what's happening.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Come on, then, bud. Yeah, what's through here?!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I know he's in really good hands.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I just worry about how he's going to feel.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47As long as everything goes smoothly,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50this should make the world of difference to Napoleon.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56HE CHUCKLES
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Come on, big man!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Now we're off to Essex to see Cheryl.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yes!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07If a patient needs a cuddle, she's always there to help.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11One day I want to have a horse, two rabbits,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14maybe three or four dogs and six cats.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I just want all the animals.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Sisters Isabella and Lana only have the one pet.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Hello. No, no biscuits today.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28But Skye the husky is huge -
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I doubt they'd have room for any more.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37This much-loved Siberian husky may be called Skye,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40but really she thinks she's a star.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42# But first, let me take a selfie. #
0:04:42 > 0:04:45She never goes far without stopping for a selfie.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Her followers go wild on social media.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52But even superstar vlogging dogs need to go to the vets.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54# Let me take a selfie. #
0:04:54 > 0:04:56She's not been to the vet's for anything apart from
0:04:56 > 0:04:59the normal vaccinations and the checkup.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03So today is a big day for Stewart and his daughters.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Skye is having an operation to stop her having puppies,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08but Isabella is still nervous.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I just don't like the feeling of her getting cut open
0:05:12 > 0:05:14and then getting stitched up,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and I'm scared in case she stretches and it comes open.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Luckily for Isabella,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Skye is in really good hands with dog-loving Cheryl and her team.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Hello! Skye's turn! Come on, Skye!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- You guys don't want puppies, do you?- I do.- Really?! No...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Don't you remember when she was a puppy?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Weeing everywhere... - Eating the chairs...
0:05:37 > 0:05:38..exhausting!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I don't think you went to work the whole time.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44It's such a good thing that Skye's having this operation.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Of course puppies are cute, and Skye's would be absolutely adorable,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52but there are just too many unwanted dogs in the world already.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- What are you guys going to do today? - We might make cookies.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Chocolate chip cookies, you wanted to make.- Yeah.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Make chocolate chip cookies? OK.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You've got to keep busy so you don't miss her too much.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04OK, Skye, you're coming with us, then!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Being left on her own in a strange place is a first for Skye.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Skye, you a good girl? Don't worry about her.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17When my dog Cerys had this operation,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I was just so worried about her, I was crying all day.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23But they just recover so well when they're young.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Come on!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Good girl. I love Skye.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I actually bounced out of bed this morning
0:06:31 > 0:06:33knowing that she was coming in.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Skye has an hour to settle down before her big op begins.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Hey, I'm talking to you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Let's go to Sheffield to catch up with Cat the vet.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Bringing their pets to work is a perk of the job for the staff
0:06:57 > 0:06:58at the surgery.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Hello!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I love it when the team at the practice bring in their own pets.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Plum, for example, is here pretty much every day.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07She's practically a member of staff.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Today it's vet Nigel's cat, Monty, who is the guest of honour.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15He's here because I'm having my bathroom done, so...
0:07:17 > 0:07:20He's really, really good. The staff really like him.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I think that he enjoys coming. He's a very personable cat,
0:07:23 > 0:07:27and they enjoy going and saying hello to him, giving him a cuddle.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Monty gets plenty of cuddles, all right!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Monty!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35But cuddles aren't the only thing this big lad is getting.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40A handful!?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Are you...? Oh, come on...
0:07:43 > 0:07:44INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:07:44 > 0:07:47So, you can see where the problem is here.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Monty is totally spoilt, and he is very overweight.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's easy to give your pets lots of treats,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56but it will give them health problems in the long run.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I think it's just genetics, really.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00You know, it's like some people saying they're big-boned -
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I think I've got a big-boned cat.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yeah, hardly eats a thing(!)
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I know I'm giving Nigel a hard time about Monty,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11but I'm not so innocent myself when it comes to this.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Yes, as it turns out, Cat knows this issue only too well.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Because her own cat...
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Shall we see if Fatty will eat one of his biscuits?- Biscuit, biscuit!
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Well, let's say the clue is in his name.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I actually have a cat that is so fat it's called Fatty.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But he is naturally quite greedy.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35See, we all have our excuses.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Come on, then, Fatty.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40And vet nurse Ashley has decided enough is enough.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Let's go and find out how fat you really are.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46We're going to bring both of your cats with me,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and we're going to do a weight clinic.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I think you'll be surprised how in shape he is.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Come on, then, mate!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I think we might be in trouble here, and Ashley can be quite scary.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Come on, Fatty. - Oh, my goodness!- It's not that bad!
0:09:02 > 0:09:06An average cat should weigh around four-and-a-half kilos.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09These boys, however, are a little bigger than that.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Get you settled onto the scales, first of all.- Yeah. Both feet.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Yeah, no cheating, Monty. He's trying to cheat, Fatty.
0:09:15 > 0:09:177.33 kilos.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Right, Fatty, it's your turn. - Come on, then, Fatty.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23He was 6.77.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25SHE GASPS
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Oh, you're just a little flibbertigibbet.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Positively ballerina-like.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I think there must be a problem with the scales.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34THEY LAUGH
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Ashley's taking no excuses.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40This is for their own good - the diet starts today.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Nigel and I both know the problems that obese pets can have,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47so we definitely need to try harder.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It is very hard to get cats to lose weight,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51and Fatty is already on a diet food.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- But I think his problem is he's super, super lazy.- Yeah.- So...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57That's Monty's problem too.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00They do need to encourage exercise,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04so I would start off slowly taking them both on a walk with a harness.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well, I think I can definitely try and do that.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Can you do it as well, Cat?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Yes, Ashley, I do most solemnly promise that I am going to try
0:10:11 > 0:10:14very hard to make Fatty lose weight.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15The challenge is on to see who can lose
0:10:15 > 0:10:17the most percentage of body weight.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Right, it's on. We're totes going to win.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Stay with us to find out who wins the battle of the bulge...
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Shall we see what he weighs today?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Have you been a good boy, sticking to your diet?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37..and Skye the husky goes under the knife for a vital operation.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Good girl. That's great.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47But first, let's go back to London to see Rory and Napoleon.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52This little guy has just been sedated ready for his big operation.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You can see straight away, look,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56he can barely breathe through that nose.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01This footie-mad French bulldog has been struggling to breathe properly.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Hopefully after today, he'll be back in the game.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- It's a bit like breathing... - HE INHALES THROUGH NOSE
0:11:07 > 0:11:09..while, like, always having a pinched nose.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12But he has the top players on his side.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Rory is teaming up with specialist surgeon James.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20When it comes to this type of advanced surgery, James is your man.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24James starts by widening Napoleon's nostrils.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Squawk! If you're squeamish, look away now.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31He's got very, very small nostrils.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33We're going to take a big wedge out.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36That's the first nostril done.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Just going to feel...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Now to quickly open up the second.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43That's the nose done.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Napoleon's nostrils are now nearly twice as wide as they were,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50which will mean so much more air can get in.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54That's not the only work being done to improve his breathing.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57The soft palate is the flap of skin at the back of your throat
0:11:57 > 0:11:59and it's supposed to stay out the way when you breathe.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02But for Napoleon, it's so long, it's covering his windpipe.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08That's the palate. Three snips and the palate was out.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Will make a massive difference to his ability to breathe properly.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14And we're finished.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18If this is a success, it's going to be life-changing for Napoleon.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21All right...
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Napoleon now needs to rest up,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26while Rory gives the good news to owner Jackie.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Yeah, he's doing really, really well.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Yeah, he's sat up, he's looking at us,
0:12:32 > 0:12:37and, yeah, he's absolutely perfect so he's doing really, really well.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Jackie is so relieved.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41It must be so hard for owners to leave their dogs with us,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44but Jackie's definitely done the right thing.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Yeah, the nose is looking really good. It looks nice and open.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49And he's breathing really well, nice and settled,
0:12:49 > 0:12:50so I think he's recovering.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53He's obviously still very sleepy - you can see it in his eyes -
0:12:53 > 0:12:56but he's loving the fuss, which is nice.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'm sure he'll be back playing for Doggy United very soon.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Excuse me, will you calm down, please?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Back to Essex now to see vet Cheryl and Skye.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17This stunning Siberian husky loves being the centre of attention.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- And today she's the star of the show...- Down, baby.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25..at the vet's with Cheryl and nurse Jade.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Skye's having an operation called spaying, which is
0:13:28 > 0:13:32a routine procedure to stop her having any unwanted puppies.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Good girl, Skye.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's a routine procedure, but there is always some risk with
0:13:38 > 0:13:42the anaesthetic, so I just hope she wakes up quickly.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Really important for her to be spayed while she's young
0:13:46 > 0:13:49and while it's a routine operation, so that she doesn't get
0:13:49 > 0:13:54a pyometra, which is a horrible life-threatening infection.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Squawk! If you're squeamish, look away now.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03I've done this operation a few thousand times, I'd say.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06It is still a major surgery for the dog,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10but on balance, I would always spay my female dog, always.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12And Cheryl's experience shows.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15In minutes, she's removed the uterus and ovaries -
0:14:15 > 0:14:17the organs that produce puppies.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Her operation has gone really well,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25we've passed all of the dangerous parts.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27In 10 days, she should make a full recovery.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30The trickiest part of having animals as patients is trying
0:14:30 > 0:14:35to explain to them to rest and not lick their stitches.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40With the anaesthetic machine off...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42One, two, three. We're going this way.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46..Cheryl and Jade need to get Skye's head out of the clouds.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Hey, Skye. Wakey, wakey!
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It does make me a little bit nervous when a patient doesn't
0:14:54 > 0:14:56wake up straightaway after their anaesthetic.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02But I think Skye's just being a bit of a lazybones.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Oh, Skye-Skye, I know you can hear us!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Hello!- Hi! It's us!
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Hi!- Good girl. Relax, relax.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Later in the afternoon, owners Isabella, Lana and Stewart are back
0:15:21 > 0:15:23to pick up their beloved dog.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27And they've been keeping themselves busy while they waited at home.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31We had to make cookies just take our minds off it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33We've brought them for everyone. To say thank you, isn't it?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Yeah, to say thank you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Are we going to go and find your owners? Good girl.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Now, no running or jumping.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Hey.- Hey.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Who's this? Who are those people? Did you miss them?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Oh! Thank you very, very, very much!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Good luck, Skye. Make sure you take it easy, girl.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Mm!
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Quite nice.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09DOG HOWLS
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Let's go back to vet Cat in Sheffield
0:16:11 > 0:16:13for The Great British Weight-Off.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19It's six weeks since Nigel and Cat's pets began their new health plan.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21And today they're back for the big weigh-in.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Fatty looks like he's ballooned today,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28so I'm quite confident that Monty and I will emerge the victors.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Won't we, Monty? Yes!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Nigel is incredibly confident, but this is the final weigh-off
0:16:33 > 0:16:37and I am very competitive - and I had a sneaky plan.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40So I have put his biscuits outside,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and so that means that when he fancies a snack or his dinner,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47he has to go outside and into our garden shed to eat.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49So, fingers crossed,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52eating less and moving around more means that he's lost some weight.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Well, only the scales have the answer.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01So, last time, Monty weighed 7.33 kilos.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Shall we see what he weighs today? Come on, sweetheart.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Let's put you on.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- 6.91.- Well done, Monty! - Well done, Monty!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- That's impressive!- Yes!
0:17:12 > 0:17:13You see?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Good lad!- Well, this is a bit of a concern, isn't it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I really wasn't expecting Monty to lose anything at all.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Come on, Fatty! - Fatty last time weighed 6.77.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29- Let's see what Fatty weighs today. - And we're sitting at...
0:17:29 > 0:17:30SHE GASPS
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- 6.42! Very good, Fatso, well done. - It's close, isn't it?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36I'm less confident.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41No, I think we'll let the calculator do the maths.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Good lad, Fatty. That's got to be the winner.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47So, Fatty has lost 350g in six weeks,
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- and Monty has lost 420g! - Yay! Well done, Monty!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Well done, Monty!- Yeah! Winners!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Oh, no, I was so sure we would win!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02But I'm still proud of my boy, though.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05But with both cats on the right road to a healthier life,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07everyone here is a winner today.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Still got a bit of a way to go.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Yes, still a little bit. - It's a long journey.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15A long journey, but I'm very proud of both of them
0:18:15 > 0:18:17cos they have lost some weight.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20This has been a great chance for Nigel and I
0:18:20 > 0:18:21to practise what we preach.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24It isn't easy, but we both want the best for our boys.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29I'm very proud of Fatty, he's done really well.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33And we are all so proud of you too, lads. Keep up the good work.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Another boy who's feeling fitter is Napoleon the French Bulldog.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Hello, mate.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43After his operation, he's now running around for much longer.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47And Napoleon's owner Jackie is also breathing easier
0:18:47 > 0:18:49knowing he's going to be OK.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I've noticed a big difference cos before he could only play
0:18:53 > 0:18:56for about 20 minutes, but now he can play
0:18:56 > 0:19:00for as long as he wants, and he has much more fun now
0:19:00 > 0:19:04when he goes to the park, and it's just improved his quality of life.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Go get 'em, Napoleon!
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Next time on The Pets Factor, James investigates why Honey is
0:19:11 > 0:19:13putting on weight.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16One thing that we can do is do an ultrasound scan of her tummy,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19but I don't know what I'm going to find.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21And the pressure is on for Rory,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24to help a dog with an appetite for pebbles.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27He's going to have some serious surgery now to get those out.
