0:00:03 > 0:00:05- From elderly patients...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08- ..to those newly born.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10- From the domestic...
0:00:10 > 0:00:13- From the domestic...- - Is he eating and drinking?
0:00:14 > 0:00:15- ..to farm animals.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17- ..to farm animals.- - He doesn't like that!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- The usual clients.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22- And the unexpected.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27- These are the creatures Wern - Veterinary Surgeons have to treat.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- You're alright. What's the matter?
0:00:31 > 0:00:36- Goodness only knows what they face - when they go to work in the morning.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- This is a very extreme case.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45- They turn their hand to the old - techniques as well as the new.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- The work of a vet is never dull.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- If we don't succeed...
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- ..if I'm not happy with the fix, - we'll have to break the leg.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- Good morning, Wern Vets.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Wern Veterinary Surgeons - have six sites.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- They treat all kinds of animals - across North East Wales.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- In this series, we'll experience - the ups and downs of the Wern vets.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- And we'll have a close look - at the life of a vet.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Good girl!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- That's it. Job done!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Although the practice has - almost 70 members of staff...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- ..vets, nurses and administrators...
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- ..they'd all be lost - without this man.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Glyn, the man with the van.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Good morning, Sioned.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- How are you?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Is there a lot of work today?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Let's have a look.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Glyn starts work very early - each day.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- His first task is to look in the - book to see what he has to do.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- I look at the book to see - what has to be done.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- I then put everything ready to go - in the van and load it up.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13- Glyn's part in the complex jigsaw - of veterinary work is all-important.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- He is the person who transports, - goods, drugs...
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- ..and the occasional animal, - between the six sites.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- I'm very happy in my work.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- I help the vets sometimes - by going to the farms...
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- ..and taking them something - they've forgotten.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- I travel back and fore - between the surgeries.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Is anyone going to Denbigh today?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Yes, they should be.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- This stuff can stay here then.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Yes, the vets will take it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Glyn has worked for the practice - for five years.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- He enjoys the variety - that comes with the job.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- He travels many miles - across North East Wales every day...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- ..chatting with vets and clients - on his way.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- He knows that a warm welcome and - a cup of tea awaits him in Bala.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- And a nice chat with receptionist, - Ffion.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Hi, Glyn. - Did you have a good holiday?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18- Yes, it was great.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19- A cuppa?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21- Yes, please.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22- Whose is this dog?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Whose is this dog?- - It's Alex's dog.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- He's a bit of company.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- It's nice to have company sometimes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- How's it going? Are you busy?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Not bad. It's just ops today.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- We don't have anything booked - in this afternoon.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Glyn was a farmer before he started - working at Y Wern.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- He has worked with animals - all his life.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- He is glad of the chance to continue - with that in his new career.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- No chocolate biscuits today?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- No, we haven't got any.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- At the morning surgery - in Abergele...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- ..Nala has come to have - her stitches taken out...
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- ..after an operation on her leg.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- It's this little dog's turn first.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- But he doesn't want to walk past - the big dog.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- She must look like a giant to him!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- John is in charge of the surgery - this morning.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- This is an X-ray we took - of Nala's leg.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- She'd been lame - for about three months.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- She's a big dog and is growing fast.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Yes, Nala is big.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32- But size isn't everything!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Breeds such as the Great Dane often - have problems with the bones...
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- ..because they grow so quickly.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- What this shows is that there's - a small piece of bone here...
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- ..in her elbow that has come loose - and is giving her pain.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- She can't walk very well.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- The operation was to open up the - joint and remove the piece of bone.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Usually, where a joint has been - operated on...
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- ..arthritis develops - as they get older.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- But now, it's much better - than it was before the operation.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- The bone was moving about - and causing pain in her leg.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Hold her head there for a minute.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14- Good girl!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- It's a bit swollen - around the stitches.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- It was swollen - when we came in last time.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- It will go down in time.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Considering that - she's only a year old...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- ..she's grown as much as child - would in eighteen years.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- This is why they have trouble - with their joints.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- They grow so quickly that their - bones don't form as they should.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Joint problems and pieces of bone - coming loose...
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- ..are a common problem - in large dogs.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- They don't live as long either.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Large dogs live to be about nine - or ten years old.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- A Jack Russell or a Chihuahua can - live to be twenty years old.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- The body has to work harder - and they can develop heart problems.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- When they reach six - or seven years old...
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- ..their heartbeat isn't as regular - as it was in puppies.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- People say that seven human years - equals one dog year...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- ..but it depends on - the size of the dog.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Leave that alone now. - Don't wash it or anything.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- The swelling will go down in time.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- While Nala is in the surgery, John - administers her annual vaccination.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- This gives her immunity to diseases.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- This is the first one - she's had since she was little.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Not that she's ever been little!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- They have to be vaccinated - every year.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- To protect them from diseases - like distemper and parvovirus.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- There are five different components - to the vaccine.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Good girl, Nala!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- And so Nala, the queen of dogs, - is ready to go home.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- Thank you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Thank you.- - Thank you very much.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Come on, Nala.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Come on, Nala.- - She doesn't want to go!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Today, Eleri has been called - to an equine farm near Bala...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- ..to carry out dental work.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Mrs Oxbury asked us to carry out - dental work on horses.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- There are five horses that need - their teeth checked and filed.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- At least I'm not pregnant this time!
0:07:29 > 0:07:35- Generally, we just check that there - are no sharp teeth in the mouth...
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- ..which makes it uncomfortable - for them to eat.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- When being ridden, - they play with the bit...
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- ..instead of settling to their work.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- You might not like this, - but we'll see how we get on.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- We'll say hello first.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Animals like these live longer...
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- ..and their teeth are "constantly - erupting", as we say.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- The teeth have very long roots...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- ..and they continue to grow - throughout their lives.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Before she can do anything...
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- ..Eleri has to tie the speculum, - or gag around Harmony's mouth...
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- ..to keep the mouth open - so that she can put her hand in...
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- ..to feel the teeth - without being bitten.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- I've just put the gag - in the mare's mouth.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- She's a young pony. - She's only four years old.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- She's a bit nervous, - so I'm just going to feel first...
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- ..to see if there are any sharp bits - on the teeth...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- ..that will need to be filed down.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- The outside of the top teeth - sometimes have a sharp point...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- ..that cut into the bottom teeth.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- I try to do it without sedating them - if I can.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- There are several types of tools - for filing the teeth.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- It depends on the size - of the horse's mouth...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- ..and the type of teeth - that need to be filed.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- I use this rasp - to treat the back teeth.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- As you can imagine, they are quite - far in, so you need the length.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- You grip the handle - to manoeuvre the tool.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Again, we do this by touching.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10- Then, we have other rasps - that are a bit shorter.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16- These make it easier to reach - the top teeth in the centre.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- There's more leverage - because the handle is shorter.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Wild horses do not need - this treatment...
0:09:26 > 0:09:32- ..because they eat harder foodstuffs - and their teeth wear down naturally.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Domestic horses eat softer food...
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- ..and their teeth grow too much - and are worn down unevenly.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Eleri doesn't have much time - as Harmony will get restless soon.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- There is a bit of a time limit...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- ..in terms of how long - they'll keep their mouth open.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- It's like us at the dentist, - when we have to keep our mouth open.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Our jaws ache after a while.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Horses are just the same.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- It's quite a physical job - and is very hard work.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- It doesn't look like it, but you - have to apply a lot of pressure.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- People who do it all the time - must have amazing arms.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- You can feel your muscles - being worked.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Isn't that nice? What a brave girl!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Oh! You're lovely!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- She was a model patient.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Glyn leaves Bala - after his morning cuppa.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Glyn changed direction - after years of dairy farming.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- I was a dairy farmer.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55- I gave up dairy farming and went - into keeping suckler cows and sheep.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- At the age of sixty, - I decided it was time to move on.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- I have two daughters - who aren't interested in farming.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14- I was lucky to sell the farm - to Dyfrig who's a vet.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- He is very happy there. - He still keeps animals on the farm.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- It's nice to see that there are - still cattle and sheep there.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- I go there sometimes to help out.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- I don't like sitting around - doing nothing.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- It's worked out very well.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- The van can be seen in and around - the lanes of North Wales.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- It involves a lot of driving.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Glyn's next stop is in Llanrwst.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Collecting chilled goods - is one of his jobs.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- He must check - the samples refrigerator...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- ..and the drugs refrigerator...
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- ..in case there's anything - to take back to Ruthin.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Hello! How are you, Sian?
0:11:57 > 0:11:58- Fine, thanks.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00- It's warm today.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- There's some stuff to be taken - from the fridge.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- OK, thanks.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- These are due to expire - at the end of the month.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- Are they fridge items?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24- Yes.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- I'll just see - if there's anything else.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28- OK, thanks.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- I've turned up occasionally - and forgotten to check the fridges.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Then I've been asked - where are the fridge items.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37- And they're still in Ruthin.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Mostly, they find - they don't need them.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- But once, I had to go back - to fetch them.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- I don't think there's anything else.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47- Have you checked the samples?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Have you checked the samples?- - There's nothing in the fridge.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- We're OK then. See you tomorrow.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Glyn and his van are off to Abergele - to see what's to do there.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02- .
0:13:03 > 0:13:03- Subtitles
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Eleri is still doing - her dental work in Bala.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- The next horse is likely - to be a bit more troublesome.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- This is Diamond.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- At her first glimpse of Diamond, - Eleri thinks...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- ..that he'll need something - to calm him before she can begin.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- I guess I'd better - give him something.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- I can tell just by looking at him - that he's a bit skittish.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- I don't want to give him - a nasty experience.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- I can tell he's going - to hit the roof...
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- ..and I don't want him to get hurt.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- With sedation, if you think - an animal will misbehave...
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- ..you're better off picking up - on the vibes from the outset.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Once they're disturbed, - the adrenalin level rises...
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- ..sedation doesn't work so well.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54- How old is he?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- How old is he?- - He's fourteen.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Really? He behaves like - a much younger horse.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- It's like birthing a foal or - performing a caesarean on a cow.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- If they get angry before you sedate - them, it's like playing catch-up.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- It's all down to experience really - - being able to read the situation...
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- ..and knowing - what's going to cause a problem.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- We might hit the roof, - we don't know.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- I'm a bit wary.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- The dose the vet gives - to sedate a horse...
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- ..depends on their size and weight.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Diamond will stay on all-fours...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- ..but the head will go down - as the sedative starts to work.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- She's very good with needles.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Yes, better than I expected.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Generally, it works and you can - concentrate on what you're doing.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Dental work is quite difficult, - especially if the animal moves.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- It makes you feel as if you're not - doing a thorough job.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- It's a lot easier really.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- The sedative is starting to work.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- They don't remember what has been - done to them after sedation.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- If there's a lot of work - to be done on the teeth...
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- ..it's much easier if they're not - fighting against you.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14- Diamond is sleepy.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Eleri can begin her work safely.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Over in Bontuchel, near Ruthin...
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- ..dog breeders, - Ifor and Mari are very busy...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- ..with a new litter of Labradors - born a few weeks ago.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- The puppies are now ready - for their first visit to Wern Vets.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- They need to be examined - by one of the vets.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- They're just over eight weeks - old now.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- They're almost ready - for their new homes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- We're taking them to the vets' - this afternoon...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- ..to be examined and microchipped.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- They're only puppies, but two cars - are needed to transport them.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Vet, Erica, has the difficult job...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- ..of examining - the seven lively puppies.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- I like them because I have a black - Labrador myself.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- This one's been here before. - He wasn't well and was on a drip.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Oh, bless!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- The nurses called him Grumpy.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Last spring, it became a legal - requirement that every new puppy...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- ..be microchipped - by the age of eight weeks.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- The chip, placed under the skin...
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- ..keeps a record of its details - and its owners' details...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- ..in case the dog goes missing.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Tough cookie!
0:16:45 > 0:16:51- There is just one number on the chip - and it is unique to that dog.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- The practice or the Dogs Trust...
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- ..or whoever does the chipping...
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- ..registers the number - against the dog's details.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- It's a good thing that Ifor and Mari - are used to dealing with puppies.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- It's quite a job to remember - which little black dog...
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- ..has been microchipped - and which one is still waiting.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22- Hello!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Let's swap them round. Well done.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30- Well done! Very brave.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- You run the scanner over the dog - to check for the chip...
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- ..and then you enter the chip - into the database.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47- The number goes in and you get the - details associated with the chip.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Good girl! Well done!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- It's quite painful for the puppy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- The needle is larger...
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- ..than the one - I use for vaccinations.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10- It's a very small hole.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Sorry, flower. You're a good girl!
0:18:17 > 0:18:18- Perfect!
0:18:18 > 0:18:19- Thank you very much!
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- Goodbye!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Glyn is also in Ruthin.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- He has come to collect - Brasier the dog.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- He needs to go back - to the surgery in Denbigh...
0:18:33 > 0:18:34- ..after an eye operation.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Transporting animals back and forth - is an enjoyable task for Glyn.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- But he doesn't like - all his companions.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Sometimes a cat escapes - from its cage while in the van.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05- Once I had to bring a rat back - from Denbigh. I don't like rats.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- Sioned offered to fetch it. - I felt like a bit of a wimp.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- So I went to fetch it in the end.
0:19:13 > 0:19:19- I managed it. I brought it back, - but I'm not keen on rats.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Brasier is safe - in the back of the van.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- He'll be back at Denbigh surgery - waiting for his owner in no time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Put your foot down, Glyn!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Eleri's next client - is a pony called Lady.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- She's quite an old lady now.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- I'll just check her heart - because she's 24 years old.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- These small ponies - seem to live forever.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Hi, Lady! It's your best buddy.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- She says "not really!"
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- She's quite a character.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- I've had trouble with her in the - past because she misbehaves.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Although she looks innocent, - she can be quite a handful.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Eleri wastes no time - in sedating her.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- I don't want to fight against her...
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- ..because she'll jump up - on her hind legs straight away.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- So I've sedated her before I start.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Good girl. Well done!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- I think she's a bit more mellow - than last time.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Don't be fooled!
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- Lady is sedated, so Eleri shouldn't - have any trouble with her.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Get on your knees, Eleri!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Tooth decay is common - in older horses.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Lady is 24 years old, of course.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- It's important that she can chew - her food properly...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- ..to stay healthy into old age.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- This is much more civilized.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- She isn't thin, so obviously she is - able to chew her food properly...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- ..but in winter, - when the pasture is shorter...
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- ..we have to make sure that her - teeth are as good as they can be.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- In the winter, a dental problem - can affect their overall health.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14- When the grass is shorter...
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- ..older horses have difficulty - getting hold of the grass...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- ..and grazing properly, - but she should be fine now.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Lady didn't misbehave after all.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- She behaved like a real lady.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- She goes back in the stable - to have her dinner now.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34- Denbigh.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Glyn's final stop of the day - is the Denbigh surgery.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Come on!
0:21:43 > 0:21:44- Well done!
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- You'll have to stay here - for a minute.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Poor Brasier just wants - to go home now.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- But he has to go back in the cage - for a bit first.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Sorry, Brasier!
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- There you go.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- I'll go and get his paperwork now.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17- And his medicine.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Hi, how are you?
0:22:27 > 0:22:28- Fine, thanks.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- I've brought the dog back.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Thanks very much.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34- This is his medicine.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- This is his medicine.- - Great, thank you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- He's had an eye operation.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- I'll phone the owner - to come and collect him now.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- I don't think the owner - knows that he's here.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46- OK?
0:22:46 > 0:22:47- Thanks.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48- Thanks.- - Bye!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- It's the end of the day - and every drug, sample and animal...

0:22:56 > 0:22:57- It's time for Glyn to relax.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- He'll be back in the driving seat - tomorrow...

0:23:07 > 0:23:12- ..an emergency call-out to a calf - that needs Gwyn's urgent attention.
0:23:13 > 0:23:19- If I leave him, the intestine - could strangulate and kill him.
