0:02:05 > 0:02:08- We have a large centre - in Cardigan...

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- We think things will be fine.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32- I'm a country boy.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I like the variety of work - you tackle as a vet.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- I think that's why I became a vet - in the first place.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- George, my son, works with us - at the Priory in Cardigan.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- It's a pleasure for me to see my son - ready to follow in my footsteps.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- I'm not far from retirement age...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- ..and George - is just setting out on his journey.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- I think he's enjoying it.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- He loves this area - and he loves the Welsh language.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- He's very fond of the farmers - and their farms.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- He's settling down here really well.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- George is really fortunate.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- If he needs advice, - he only has to pick up the phone.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19- We speak all the time.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- I phone him when I don't understand - something new that's just come out.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- It works both ways.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- When I graduated, - there were very few drugs available.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- We did what we could - without the use of many drugs.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- We use all sorts of equipment today.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42- Things have changed.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59- I'm a nurse.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I've been a nurse for four years.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- My role is to work with the vet.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- I assist in operations - and also in consults and X-rays.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- I take blood samples - and do the anaesthetic.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- My biggest role is caring - for patients when they come in.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- I decided to become a nurse because - I've grown up with animals.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- I love dogs and horses, - especially dogs.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- I thought being a veterinary nurse - would be a suitable job for me...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- ..and something I'd enjoy doing - day-to-day.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Welsh is my first language, - so I enjoy using it at work...
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- ..especially with - the Welsh-speaking staff members.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Sometimes, when clients come in...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- ..I start speaking Welsh to them...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- ..then they start to speak Welsh - back to me.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- People such as farmers and - older people like to speak Welsh.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Sometimes, they understand things - better in Welsh...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- ..rather than in English.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- I think that helps.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Hello. - I'm Sian Jones and this is Dai.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- I'm here to see the nurse. - I have a four o'clock appointment.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- OK. I'll log you in.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43- OK. I'll log you in.- - Thank you.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- Hello. Is this Dai?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Hello. Is this Dai?- - Yes.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54- Come through.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Hello, Dai.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08- How old is Dai?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- How old is Dai?- - He's eight weeks old.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Is he eating and drinking well?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15- Yes. He eats a lot!
0:06:17 > 0:06:18- Are his bowels alright?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Yes. He goes three times a day.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- I'm going to microchip Dai.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- I'm going to microchip Dai.- - Alright.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31- The law has changed since April and - every dog must now be microchipped.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Dai hasn't been - microchipped before, has he?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- No.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- First of all, I'll scan him - to make sure he's not microchipped.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- I'll use this scanner - to check him all over.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52- Lovely.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- I'll insert the chip...
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- ..at the point where I administered - local anaesthetic.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- It's important that Dai stays still - because it's a big needle.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- HE SQUEALS
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- Oh, sweetheart.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Oh! I know it hurt, my love.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- OK, he's better now.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- I'll scan him to make sure - the microchip is in position.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Lovely. The microchip is in there.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Thank you very much. - Home we go, Dai.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Good boy.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35- You're a good boy.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38- Thank you. Ta-ta!
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- I'm one of the veterinary surgeons - who work here.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- I work a lot with large animals, - so I'm often on farms.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- I also work with small animals - one day a week.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- I see cats and dogs one day...
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- ..and pigs the next.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- I see a lot of different animals.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- I've worked at the surgery - for four years.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I think I know what I'm doing now!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- I trained abroad, - in the Czech Republic.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- I was there for six years.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- It was a tough six years...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- ..but it was enjoyable too.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- I came back home to Cardigan.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- There were lots of reasons for that.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- I was born here and my father's - veterinary practice is here.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- Everyone says you shouldn't take - your first job in your hometown...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- ..but it went OK for me.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10- I'm glad I did it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Working with my father is fine.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- He helps me out a lot.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Over the years, he's come out - in the middle of the night...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- ..to help me with calving.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- It's nice - to have backup and support...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- ..not just from my father - but from everyone at the practice.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- The best thing about my job - is the people.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- I travel from place to place...
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- ..and visit different people - in their homes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Living in a place like this, - it's nice to be outdoors...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- ..and enjoy seeing the coast.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- I speak Welsh every day at work.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- A lot of farmers speak Welsh - as their first language.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- For them, it can be difficult - not to speak Welsh.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07- I'm glad I speak Welsh.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- A sheep is coming in to be lambed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- There are problems with the lamb.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- This is the first call of the day - and I'm waiting for them to come in.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- The farmer will bring the sheep in - and we'll put her up on a table...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- ..and try to get the lamb out alive.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- I hope so anyway.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Let's see what comes in.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Everything's different - once they come in.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- She's straining.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- That could be - because the lamb's the wrong way...
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- ..or maybe - there are two lambs stuck together.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Whoa!
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- The bag's there.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- It's the wrong way around.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- It's the wrong way around.- - Ah! We thought so.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- I'm not much good when this happens.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- They don't usually show the same.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- The tail's here.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- A few of our lambs are yellow.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Why is that?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- The lamb's been in there - for too long.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49- For too long? I see.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- We've had lambs lying the right way - and they've come out yellow.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55- Why is that?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- The fluid - has been in there for too long.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21- Is it alive?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Yes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33- I pinch their ears.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- There's only one lamb here.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Good.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- I'm glad, looking at its size.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- I'll give her some antibiotics.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- There's some blood here...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- ..so I'll give her - some oxytocin too.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- That's perfect. Good.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Shall I put the lamb in a box?
0:13:14 > 0:13:15- No, we'll throw it in.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- OK?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- She won't need anything else.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- All you must do now is wait - for the placenta to be passed.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- My brother and I - speak Welsh to each other at home.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- We speak Welsh to the sheep too.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- It's natural.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- I'd find it really hard - to speak English...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- ..to this young vet of ours.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- I remember his father - starting with us.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- The Welsh language - comes naturally to us.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- We don't even think about it.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- We don't speak perfect Welsh - by any means...
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- ..but it wouldn't even cross my mind - to use any other language.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19- The problem we had today was a sheep - which couldn't expel her lamb.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- The lamb was the wrong way around.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- The hind legs came out first.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- It's a problem - and the ewe needs more care.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- That's why we came here today.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Having said that, - it's more difficult to tell...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- ..when a sheep like that - is ready to expel her lamb.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- It's more of a problem - than lambs which lie the right way.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- The lamb and the ewe are healthy - and we must be grateful for that.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56- We were very lucky today.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Ymgynghoriad - consultation.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Brechiad - vaccination.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14- Bustach - bullock.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- In this episode of Cwmni...
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- ..we look at use of the Welsh - language at Priory Vets, Cardigan.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Established over 80 years ago...
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- ..the company serves the people - and animals of Ceredigion.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- I work as a nurse at Priory Vets.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- We take care of animals.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- We monitor the anaesthetics.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- We also run nurse clinics...
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- ..so we deal with clients - and animals.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Today, I'm the Ops Nurse...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- ..so I'll be - in charge of the anaesthetics.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- We've just given this cat - his premed.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20- We'll clip his fur...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- ..because he's become too old - to clean himself.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- The thing I enjoy most - about the job is the operations.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- I especially enjoy getting - scrubbed up and doing stitch-ups.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- We stitch up animals' wounds.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- To be honest, I wanted to be a vet - when I was young.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- But, because my grades - weren't good enough...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- ..the next best thing - was to be a nurse.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- I wouldn't change a thing.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- This is a really nice job.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- I have the best job in the world.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- We deal with clients and animals.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- It's a nice job to do.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- I've just fitted Winston - with a catheter...
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- ..to make sure we can - get to the vein really easily.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- It gives us access to his vein.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- We'll then give him - an induction agent...
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- ..so we can start - the general anaesthetic.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Now we've put the cat - under general anaesthetic...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- ..one of us must monitor it...
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- ..making sure the breathing - and the heart are alright.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Megan now start de-matting.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- We try to finish - as quickly as possible.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08- Can I start?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Can I start?- - Yes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- We carry out de-mattings - for several reasons.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- The most common reason - for having to do this...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- ..is the cat is elderly...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- ..and it can't clean itself - and groom its coat properly.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- When that happens, - the coat becomes matted.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- How often it comes back to have - its coat clipped depends on the cat.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- This cat has a long coat...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- ..so he may need to come back - more often.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- You want to minimize general - anaesthetic, as a cat gets older...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- ..so it all depends - on the cat's health...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- ..and how bad the coat is.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- I'll put drops in his eyes - to make sure they don't dry out.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Because of the shape of the face, - the eyes tend to stay open...
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- ..so they can dry out - and that can cause ulcers.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- We add some lubrication - to help the eyes.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- You came close to being bitten - by this cat, didn't you?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- Some animals do bite.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- We can't explain to them what - we're doing, so they get scared.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54- It's not because they're a vicious - cat or dog - they're scared.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Touch wood, - I've never actually been bitten.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- I hope it continues like that.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- We've finished clipping, - so we'll wake the cat.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- We've removed the catheter
0:20:15 > 0:20:16- This cat is a bit wild...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- ..and we couldn't have removed it - if he was awake.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- We've turned off the anaesthetic...
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- ..and we'll now wait for him - to wake up on his own.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32- We've finished now.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- The tube is out - and he's starting to come around.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- He's not fully awake, - so we'll put him back in the box...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- ..before he comes round...
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- ..and before he gets scared - and runs away.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- The final step is to make sure - he comes around safely.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- We'll monitor him - whilst he wakes up.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- We'll keep him nice and warm - and give him some food.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03- He can then go home.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- I'm here to castrate calves.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29- Eight of them.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32- Eight bull calves.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- They're Limousins - and they look incredible.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- They must be getting on - for their first birthday.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- They're big and they're strong.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- I'll calm them down a bit - and I'll use local anaesthetic.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- We'll get the job done, hopefully.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Let's give him a sedative.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- These are big, wild animals.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- I must stand right by his back legs.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- I must make sure I do my job - without his legs catching me.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- That's why - I'm giving him a sedative.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- He looks like a bull, even though - he's only nine months old.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- He has a real bull's head.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- They tend to become passive - really quickly.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- The dose I give is critical.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Too much and he goes down.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Too little and he goes wild.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- He's calm, - so I'll give him an antibiotic.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- How does he look, Osian?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04- He's calmed down a lot.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Can you pass me - that local anaesthetic?
0:23:13 > 0:23:14- Do you see it?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Hold on.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38- OK, put that back.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Have you been kicked as you do this?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Yes, a few times.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- One of our vets - was kicked in the face last week.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- At the moment, I don't think - this one can feel a thing.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- If they're all like that, Osian, - I'll know my luck's in.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22- I don't think that one - even realizes he was in there.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- He'll know all about it later!
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- One testicle.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- I can't feel anything.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58- I can't castrate him.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04- We've got to let him go.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- That's strange.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- There's one more.
