Wildlife ER is a education/science/factual topics series airing on UK television.
Spoonbill Soft Shoe Shuffle is a programme formatted as a single episode that follows a wildlife rescue team as they respond to a variety of animal health emergencies. The show combines observational footage with on‑the‑ground intervention, giving viewers a look at how specialists handle unexpected medical issues in the field. During the broadcast, a spoonbill is fitted with corrective shoes to address a foot problem, and a kookaburra is taken to surgery for an undisclosed condition. The team also looks after a trio of troubled baby wallabies, while a koala under their care suffers from seizures. The corrective shoes are designed to support the spoonbill’s damaged tendons, while the surgical procedure aims to resolve the kookaburra’s internal problem. The rescue crew steps in to provide the necessary medical attention, from fitting orthopaedic footwear for the bird to performing the surgical intervention required for the kookaburra. They also monitor the young wallabies closely, ensuring each receives appropriate support, and they administer treatment to stabilise the koala’s seizure activity. The team records vital signs, adjusts treatment as needed, and ensures follow‑up checks before release. Overall, the episode demonstrates the breadth of challenges the team confronts, ranging from corrective podiatry to emergency surgery and neurological emergencies. By documenting these steps, the episode shows practical veterinary techniques used in remote Australian habitats, underscoring timely care for native fauna.
In the wake of Brisbane’s recent flood, the local clinic finds itself coping with the disaster’s lingering effects. Among the patients is a newborn kangaroo that needs constant, round‑the‑clock care, while staff member Karina is busy clearing a growing waiting list of turtles awaiting treatment. The flood has left many animals displaced, and the clinic serves as a temporary sanctuary while the city recovers. Resources are stretched thin, forcing the team to prioritise cases and improvise solutions. Karina’s efforts to reduce the turtle backlog illustrate the broader strain on wildlife services during the crisis, highlighting the challenges of providing continuous care in a post‑flood environment.
